Research and Development (R&D)
Idea Management
Jenni innovation process management
software is especially suited for research and development teams in
manufacturing firms of all kinds.
If you are nibbling on a package of snack food, it is possible
that the idea behind that product, and even the packaging itself, started
life as an idea on Jenni. That's because the research and development
unit of a global snack food manufacturer has used Jenni to develop new
product and packaging ideas.
But they are not alone. Other food manufacturers, chemical
manufacturers and heavy machinery makers have used Jenni to devise new
products, new packaging and new process ideas in order to keep give their
products and services an unfair innovation advantage over the competition.
Unlike suggestion box tools, Jenni uses a defined process
based on creative problem solving (CPS) to focus creative idea generation
on specific problems or goals. So, for example, if you need healthy food
product ideas, suggestions on improving manufacturing processes or ideas
about how better to package perishable products, Jenni allows you to challenge
colleagues to suggest relevant ideas in a collaborative environment. Moreover,
Jenni's clustering and evaluation tools allow you to combine similar ideas
and rate them according to business criteria, ensuring you identify the
ideas with the greatest commercial potential.
Moreover, you do not need to limit idea generation, collaboration
and evaluation to employees in your firm. Because Jenni is web based,
you can invite business partners, suppliers and even customers to participate
in your idea management initiative. Indeed, our clients often do!
R&D people tell us they really like Jenni's logical
approach to innovation (which reflects their own scientific approach)
and the simplicity with which Jenni enables them to call for ideas, build
them collaboratively and evaluate them.
What about your firm? Do you have a structured approach
to innovation? If not, contact
us right away to discuss how Jenni and our consultants can provide you
with a logical innovation process, an easy to use tool and an expert coach
to get you started.
