Creating and Managing Innovative Ideas

Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling once said, “The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.” What he didn’t explain was where all these ideas would come from. For many organizations, the answer is an employee suggestion scheme or idea box. But, while employees should certainly contribute to idea generation, these methods don’t produce the best ideas.

Innovative organizations use many different methods to find, evaluate and manage ideas.

GENERATE is the third step in Innovation 360′s 5-Step Innovation Framework. We teach you advanced idea generation methods so you can go beyond brainstorming to get the best ideas both internally and from outside your organization.
