Likes

Pretty elementary, but all players in the innovation platform have the capability to assess an idea by giving it a like or a dislike. The idea with the most likes (minus dislikes) is the best idea.

This is a transparent approach where each player has the same influence on the assessment of ideas.

  • Every participant has equal voting weight
  • Fully transparent — results visible to all
  • Ideal for broad participation campaigns
  • Zero configuration required

Voting players

In the ideation phase, multiple voting periods can be set up where each player is allowed to give a limited number of votes. After a voting period, the vote can no longer be changed — though within a voting period a player may withdraw their vote.

This method ensures healthy competition between ideas and is particularly transparent. As an idea owner you can also see who voted for your idea — these are your sponsors. Voting is not anonymous.

  • Multiple configurable voting periods
  • Limited votes per participant drives prioritisation
  • Idea owners see who voted for them
  • Transparent & non-anonymous

Voting management

In addition to player voting, there is an option where only management can vote on ideas — other players are not allowed to vote. Management functions as a jury in the challenge, bringing expert judgement to the selection process.

  • Management or jury votes exclusively
  • Ideal for high-stakes selection rounds
  • Can be combined with an earlier player-voting round
  • Configurable jury composition per campaign

Scoring model

Innofication has developed an advanced assessment model which is far more sophisticated than a simple vote or like. Players assess an idea by giving a like, answering questions about the idea and/or adding a comment.

The scoring model calculates scores for ideas based on these assessments, taking into account the popularity of ideas. The model can be completely tailored to your business-specific challenge — with distinct scoring dimensions for managers versus players.

  • Combines likes, questions & comments in one score
  • Fully configurable scoring dimensions
  • Separate scoring tracks for managers and players
  • Objective, bias-free cumulative ranking
