New Features in Jenni

New in vesion 2.2

  • Add attachments to implementation progress reports

  • Spontaneous ideas space for submitting ideas that do not fit in any active campaign

  • Improved ideas vault allows you to save ideas for future development

  • Better idea flow information

New in version 2.1!

  • Add a picture to your idea. Visual ideas? No problem. Upload an image with your idea and anyone clicking on your idea will be able to see the image too.

  • Idea search. Now users, idea managers and the idea master can all search ideas by keyword in order to find specific ideas faster.

  • Genius pictures. Now the Genius directory (Jenni's directory of all users; see below) lets users upload pictures of themselves. As a result you not learn about colleagues around the globe, but also get to see what they look like.

New in version 2.0!

  • Campaign based idea management. We've completely redesigned Jenni to be entirely campaign based (version 1.0-1.9 were category based). As a result, we've decentralised your idea management process and focused your innovation on issues important to your business. Any designated manager - (such as a department head) can set up, launch and manage a focused campaign to capture ideas directly relevant to her business needs. Each manager also oversees the evaluation and implementation of those ideas.

  • Promotion tool. Idea managers can use Jenni to quickly create and send e-mail blasts to all eligible participants of their ideas campaigns. Customised promotion encourages high levels of participation.

  • Campaign control. Jenni lets you control who can participate in your ideas campaigns and who cannot. Normally, we recommend letting everyone participate: the wider the variety of idea submitters, the more creative your ideas. But sometimes you need to restrict campaigns to geographical locations, level within the organisation or department. Jenni lets you do that.

  • Automatic archiving. Once your campaign is completed, Jenni lets you move it into archives at the click of a button. As a result, you can review old campaigns and ideas for inspiration.

Other features

  • Totally transparent and collaborative idea development. Jenni not only lets anyone submit an idea (unless you restrict participation - see above) , but Jenni also allows anyone to browse ideas and add their own building blocks to develop ideas. People who have never met and may work thousands of kilometres apart from each other can readily collaborate on ideas.

  • Collaborative implementation and pre-implementation of ideas. Jenni lets you set up implementations of ideas and assign colleagues to oversee the implementations. Implementation managers use Jenni to submit progress reports and complete implementations. Meanwhile, colleagues can provide advice and feedback via Jenni's implementation manger tool.

  • Genius directory. This is a list of all users of Jenni, complete with contact information, introduction - and now pictures (see above). Users can look up colleagues, learn about people who submit ideas and building blocks and search users. The Genius directory facilitates developing internal innovation and support networks. Staff are no longer limited to working with a small circle of local colleagues - now that can network with anyone anywhere in your company quickly and easily.

  • Idea Master/Manager component. The Idea Manager component provides idea managers with all the tools they need to manage their ideas campaigns:
    - Evaluation tool: send ideas to experts for evaluation.
    - Implementation tool: collaboratively implement ideas (see above).
    - Points management: grant points to users to reward them for innovation.
    - Participation: find out who is participating in your campaigns.
    - (new) Promotion: promote your campaigns.
    - (new) Admin: modify your campaigns.
    In addition, the IdeaMaster component allows you to manager users, adjust user access levels and edit content on the homepage - in real time.
