1. A manager uses Jenni's "Idea Manager" module to set up an ideas campaign. She sets the innovation challenge, special rewards for the campaign, attaches any relevant documents, images, videos or links and specifies who may participate. It's as easy as pie. (Actually, it's easier! Have you ever made a pie from scratch?)

In the Idea Manager module, your managers can also....

• promote their ideas campaigns
• check the status on other ideas campaigns
• monitor reports
• monitor participation
• manage teams
• use the blog to report on the progress of an ideas campaign (requires optional SocNet module)

2. Participants can submit ideas as well as collaborate on ideas by filling out a simple on-line form.

With Jenni's optional Multiple Ideas Campaigns module, you can choose between three different types of ideas campaigns: traditional, IdeaWiki and competitions. Learn more.

In addition to browsing, submitting and collaborating on ideas, participants can...

• monitor their own performance
• update their personal profiles
• look up their colleagues

and, with the optional SocNet module, participants can also...

• build networks
• tag colleagues
• write mini blogs

3. The manager sends ideas to an expert evaluation team. Using Jenni's evaluation matrix tool, they compare the idea to strategic criteria and add their comments. Jenni compiles their results into an overall scorecard and an evaluation report for each idea. Result: you can quickly see which ideas offer the greatest value potential according to your strategic needs!

Jenni's evaluation suite also includes

• a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) Analyses tool.
• Elimination Rounds to focus on the most promising potential innovations.
• an ideas clustering tool that enables the manager to combine similar ideas into one big idea for streamlined evaluation.
• An idea development tool (see below).
• Implementation tagging for rewards and statistics

4. Jenni's highly flexible development tool lets your managers assign the development of ideas into concepts, projects or other tasks with a few simple clicks.

Jenni's development tool is an open tool that allows you to upload any kind of file, such as a business case template in Word, a cash-flow forecaster in Excel or a project management file in any format. Jenni then turns the file into a template for idea development.

As a result, Jenni's development tool is ideal from migrating powerful ideas out of Jenni and into your firm's existing tool-set for project development.

5. Thanks to Jenni's innovation process management method, ideas generated and developed by you and your colleagues in Jenni are very likely to succeed as innovations. This means more profits for your firm. And that's what corporate innovation is all about!
