“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.”

"The Green Chemistry Commerce Council is exceptionally pleased to have partnered with InnoCentive on executing the first Collaborative Innovation Challenge for Safe and Effective Preservatives for Consumer Products. Being a new program, with eighteen companies involved, the Challenge Program faced numerous obstacles. At every step of the way, InnoCentive demonstrated great willingness to be flexible in its approach and invested significant time to ensure project success. InnoCentive staff were professional, adaptable, creative, and always provided clear, effective, and timely communication. The Challenge Program would not have been the successful model it was in driving supply chain collaboration to solve chemistry challenges without InnoCentive’s involvement. We look forward to working with InnoCentive on additional challenges in the future."
