Top-down and bottom-up innovation
Markets are becoming more turbulent and competitive, making innovation a business necessity. This requires a clear strategy, an innovation portfolio and new business models that are launched rapidly and successfully.
Your employees seek personal development, social interaction, recognition and fulfilment in their work. They contribute ideas that improve processes and exceed customer expectations, making them your most valuable asset.
Successful innovation is a balanced combination of top-down and bottom-up, with focus on both the hard and soft aspects of innovation and change.

Read moreGeneral innovation platform
The innovation platform predominantly consists of two core components: collecting and assessing ideas, and developing them into complete propositions in a competitive setting.
The innovation process to follow depends entirely on your business challenge, whether a new strategy, business model, customer experience concept or process improvements. We do not believe in a fixed methodology, but we do believe in proven best practices such as Lean Startup, Business Model Canvas and Experiment Canvas.
Ideation / Crowdsourcing
You can leverage your entire ecosystem to collect, assess and select new ideas, ensuring that the knowledge within your ecosystem is better utilised and that new products and services are better aligned with the market. This significantly increases the probability of innovation success.
You decide which stakeholders may participate: customers, suppliers, partners and employees. Ideas can be collected via multiple channels: directly in the platform, via forms, websites, intranets or Twitter. Various assessment methods are available, including Innofication’s unique scoring model.
Innovation Management & Serious Gaming
The innovation platform works with rounds (stages) to develop ideas into fully-fledged propositions. Unlike the traditional stage-gate process, it is the players and innovators themselves who provide feedback through comments and investments, rather than exclusively relying on experts.
This serious gaming element fosters healthy competition, transparency, knowledge sharing and collaboration. The proposition with the most investments across all rounds is the best and most widely supported choice for the organisation. The process can involve between 5 and hundreds of players and multiple campaigns can run simultaneously.
Co-creation
Ideas can be developed into fully-fledged propositions individually or in teams. Teams can consist of employees, customers, suppliers or other stakeholders, formed around ideas. The idea owner decides who participates in the innovation team.
Team members have access to their own collaboration solution for chatting, sharing documents and creating polls, enabling rapid decision-making. Using competency profiles, an idea owner can quickly find the right innovator for the team.
Open Innovation
Open innovation leverages expertise from outside your organisation and sector. Our platform enables a wide range of stakeholders to participate in your innovation process: customers, suppliers, partners and employees. You set the boundaries.
Open innovation has its practical limits. Our advanced authorisation model defines how far stakeholders may remain involved. You define the innovation process yourself, not the software. There is no standard recipe for different challenges; we are happy to think along with you, drawing on our expertise.
Innovation Community
A complete innovation community where all parties can actively participate in the innovation process, not only innovators but also everyone involved in your ecosystem. Their feedback is invaluable in developing propositions that connect with the market and are supported within the organisation.
This shortens the time to market of new propositions and significantly increases the probability of success. The community can be open or closed, configurable per campaign in the innovation platform.
Social Learning
The social learning solution focuses on gathering knowledge and information as well as the interaction between users. Users acquire knowledge through micro-learning, answer questions and engage in discussions on the relevant topic.
After responding, users can view the answers of others, providing insight into different perspectives. In addition to knowledge sharing, it provides the organisation with a wealth of new real-time insights. Everything is transparent and immediately available to all parties involved.
Memo Solution
In practice, Post-it® notes on boards are widely used to unleash creativity, enabling collaboration, knowledge exchange, fun and constructive discussion. Our Memo Solution is the digital equivalent: share ideas at speed, usable before or during an offline workshop.
The results can subsequently be used as input for another innovation process, seamlessly integrated within the platform.
Inspiration & Creativity
A solution to view existing challenges from a fresh perspective, through critical "what-if" questions and inspiration from other organisations that have developed new products, services or radical business models.
Fully configurable for any topic requiring inspiration, supporting html content, documents and videos. Usable during an offline workshop or entirely online, enabling immediate sharing of new ideas. Its flexibility also makes it suitable as a presentation tool.
