Benefits

Discuss, rate, vote

Idea Hub is primarily a space for discussion. It combines the simplicity of the interface with typically social functionalities, such as the ability to comment, rate and compete. Portal users will be able to put ideas to a vote, submit comments, spot errors, or indicate that this idea has already been submitted.

Voting is enabled even for individual comments, and the Moderator is able to highlight the most brilliant of them to further motivate the community.

The Decision Committee will regularly analyze and evaluate ideas for their suitability. A moderator will manage committee sessions, and after assigning grades according to the MoSCoW system, the system will automatically select the best-rated ideas and direct them for further implementation.

Thanks to Workflow automation, ideas – as Issues in Jira – can be immediately directed to the product development or implementation department, so that they can be effectively implemented.

A large corporation implements a development program based on the Japanese kaizen business philosophy derived from the Lean Manufacturing methodology. It provides for the possibility of reporting small but continuous improvements that will improve the production process, reduce costs and improve the quality of the products themselves. However, reporting improvements directly to your supervisor does not bring the results expected by management. There are few applications, and employees complain that the selection process is unclear and, as a result, discourages them.

To improve the transparency of the improvement submission process, management decides to install Idea Hub, as most of the corporate employees have accounts in the Jira system. Thanks to this, ideas can be submitted publicly, put to the vote by the rest of the crew and then selected according to clear criteria. The number of applications increases and the management board can announce success in implementing the program.
