How to Set an Innovation Challenge (IC)

 

What:

Innovation Challenges are dynamic initiatives that foster creativity and drive forward-thinking ideas within organizations. These challenges engage participants from different roles and departments to come up with innovative solutions to specific problems or explore untapped opportunities.

By setting clear objectives and guidelines, Innovation Challenges focus efforts towards a common objective, making it easier to evaluate success. They can be implemented by organizations of any size and in various sectors to unlock the potential for breakthrough thinking.

 

Why:

Innovation Challenges drive progress and foster innovation. They provide a structured framework, clear objectives, and encourage creative thinking. These challenges promote collaboration, align with organizational goals, and prioritize meaningful results. Best practices like simplicity, measurability, transparency, and regular review maximize their impact.

Acclaim Ideas supports Innovation Challenges with monitoring and collaboration features. With a strong grasp and effective strategies, organizations can unlock their creative potential and achieve strategic execution.

 

How:

If you're already familiar with Innovation Challenges (IC) as a method, here's how to create one in your platform:

  1. On the top navigation bar, click on the + icon to "Create Campaign".

  2. Assign a title to your new campaign.

  3. Choose IC as your campaign template.
  4. Designate a time duration for your campaign.

  5. Upload a banner for image (optional).

  6. Click Publish.

 

Best Practices:

Align your innovation challenge with your organization's mission and strategic goals. This ensures that the generated ideas contribute directly to the organization's overall vision and objectives.

 

Notes:

You can always change the type of a campaign later, without losing any content (it will be there if you switch it back again in future).
