"The results of our digital innovation programme using Idea Spotlight have been astounding in terms of creativity. We’ve received so many ideas which wouldn’t have been discovered without this process. Using Idea Spotlight has helped enable people who wouldn’t normally contribute to digital innovation not just contribute, but be part of that conversation."

“Participation and recognition are just as strong motivators for our employees on the platform as financial rewards – we had more ideas submitted to our first Creative Challenge than the first one with a fixed monetary award.”

"Using the platform to capture, record and showcase ideas has very much become a way of working within the Legal Technology Group. Leadership at A&O has a vision for the firm to become a second-generation innovation business—ultimately, the platform acts as an enabler, giving staff unprecedented access to innovation resources."

"We’ve created a culture which rewards people for challenging ideas and thinking differently, as well as delivering results. As a result, our fantastic colleagues feel empowered to challenge our process and Idea Lab ensures that their ideas are heard and implemented. This helps us as a business deliver for our customers, making insurance much easier and better value."

"Ideas Loop has been an excellent way for colleagues to share and submit their innovative ideas, many of which have been piloted. Innovation is a key enabler for our 2023 strategy, ultimately helping us reach more young people in the UK and ensuring we remain relevant to everyone we work with."

"We are looking forward to partnering with Wazoku to build on our experience of delivering and managing an innovative idea management programme. MOD is proud of the commitment and dedication demonstrated by our people, and through Wazoku’s idea management solution we will ensure that the MOD continues to recognise and reward that dedication."

"It is an idea, we can implement directly into our work."

“When we implemented our own fully branded platform, IdeaLab, we were expecting to generate and solve big challenges but actually we’re finding the small, incremental changes are having the most impact. We’ve solved some fantastic customer challenges but what we are most proud of, is we’ve been able to build a culture of engagement and trust, helping employees to feel much more invested and engaged in the future of the business.”

"Challenge Design is an area where partnering with InnoCentive makes a big difference, particularly with complex problems such as this, crafting Challenges in such a way to make them as attractive to Solvers as possible."

"We’re really pleased to win the Energy Storage Challenge award. I think more than anything else it’s going to help us accelerate one of our most important projects, one where we can use our hydrogen technology to make a practical demonstrator."

"All of a sudden, I have a worldwide staff of research assistants that were trying different techniques in parallel."

"Making the $1 million award open to all participants, regardless of nationality, encouraged participation from a broader community than we might normally be able to reach for this type of project."

"Our internal experts identified industrial and automotive lubricants as possible markets, but we looked to outside scientists and innovators to help us uncover other potential opportunities that can broaden the use of this important chemistry."

"Elanco Animal Health is agnostic to the source of innovation. We have leveraged InnoCentive extensively to identify solutions to extremely challenging scientific problems. The InnoCentive solver network has provided us with truly creative, unconventional solutions that we would not have identified using traditional resources and capabilities."

"The solutions we received through InnoCentive far exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, usability and cost. Without InnoCentive, I’m not sure if we would have found this level of quality. In the period of a few months, we received a solution that might have taken years to develop."
