SocNet : the Simple Social Networking Module
SocNet is the ideal complement to innovation process management. It facilitates
networking within your firm, helps people find experts for specific tasks
and enables individuals and teams to communicate. Jenni SocNet includes:
-
Blogs - Jenni's custom built saboutme blogs allow individuals
to write their own blogs; teams to write collaborative blogs and managers
to write ideas campaign blogs that update participants on ideas campaign
action
-
Networking - Just like Facebook and LinkedIn enable people
to forge links and build networks, SocNet also enables your employees
to build networks of colleagues and to communicate with them.
-
Tagging - Employees can tag themselves and their colleagues
with key words. Over time, this creates a skill map of your organisation.
People can find others with expertise in all kinds of areas.
-
User profiles - The standard Jenni includes basic user profiles.
People can upload images, write profiles and include links to personal
web sites. User profiles allow people to learn more about idea submitters
and colleagues. Jenni SocNet integrates seamlessly with user profiles.
If your firm does not already have social networking tools, then you
should seriously consider including SocNet with your implementation of
Jenni! |
Jenni SocNet provides the best features of popular social networking
sites, but it is easier to use and does not include productivity draining
distractions.

Multiple Ideas Campaign Types (MICT) Module
If you want to control how people collaborate in idea management, then
you will love the Multiple Ideas Campaign Types (MICT) module. At present,
MICT includes three different ideas campaign types -- which differ according
to how people collaborate -- and we have some more options on the drawing
board!
Traditional Ideas Campaigns -- In a traditional ideas campaign,
the Idea Manager launches an ideas campaign with an innovation challenge.
Participants can submit ideas and collaborate on each others' ideas by
adding building blocks to existing ideas. This is similar to adding comments
to a blog or a discussion board post. Traditional Ideas campaigns are
the only type available on the standard Jenni implementation.
IdeaWiki Campaigns -- The Idea Manager launches an IdeaWiki campaign
with an innovation challenge. Participants can submit their ideas or they
can collaborate on each others' ideas by editing the original idea in
a wiki-like environment. As a result, each idea becomes a document with
multiple authors. No other idea management tool offers IdeaWikis and their
depth of collaboration. Indeed, inside JPB, we use IdeaWiki's to develop
our own ideas!
Competitions -- Unlike IdeaWikis and traditional ideas campaigns,
competitions are not collaborative or even transparent. An idea manager
launches an ideas campaign as a competition. Individuals or teams submit
their confidential proposals. Only at the closing date of the competition,
do submissions become visible. Competitions are great for, well, for competitions! |
Multiple Ideas Campaign Types (MICT) is a great option for controlling
the level of collaboration in your firm.
