Your Innovation Project Manager

Jenni innovation process management is a remarkably easy to use software, particularly for the brainstormers who submit ideas. Nevertheless, we can almost certainly help the managers who will act as "Idea Managers" run more effective massive on-line brainstorms. This is why we will assign an innovation project manager to support you as you get started with Jenni.

Depending on your needs, your innovation project manager can...

• Review your innovation strategy (or help you formulate strategy) and prepare a plan for using Jenni to follow that strategy. (For more on formulating and implementing an innovation plan, read Jeffrey Baumgartner's book, The Way of the Innovation Master).

• Provide your managers with an initial walk-through of Jenni, explaining functionality and providing tips.

• Help your managers learn to formulate effective brainstorm challenges.

• Advise on structuring brainstorms.

• Help you devise a promotional strategy and rewards scheme (be careful, there are a lot of false assumptions about rewards as motivation, watch this video to learn more).

• Help you prepare evaluation criteria sets for different kinds of massive on-line brainstorms.

• Help you organise suitable teams.

• Advise you whenever you need it during the preparation, management and review of your first massive on-line brainstorms.

• Review initial results and help you identify how to improve those results.

Your project manager is available by telephone and e-mail throughout the project management period. On-site visits can also be arranged (however, there may be a surcharge for this).
