Overall Satisfaction with IdeaScale
IdeaScale is used for challenge driven innovation across the organization. It’s used both internally and externally to help support and drive innovation culture. It is used to target and encourage ideas for innovation and development from Vestas employees and allowing external selected partners/suppliers to participate. IdeaScale is also used for efficient idea selection and processing - and to reduce current administration work for idea submitters, administrators and reviewers.
- It's easy to configure and adjust to our process flow.
- It allows for easy interaction across the organization in a structured way.
- It's constantly being enhanced and changed according to user feedback.
- The reporting platform needs improvement to make it easier to show results directly from the system.
- It takes time and effort to get traffic in the tool.
- Ideascale was launched recently so no concrete ROI yet
- Supports driving innovation as a discipline internally and externally
The customization, privacy options and review stages were specific to Ideascale compared to some of the others. I also found that some of the other companies were too complex in the build up.
