Why have I joined forces with ID8Systems?

To answer this question, first I have to tell you about ID8Systems.

Who isID8Systems?

ID8Systems is a premier provider of Enterprise Idea Management solutions, helping organizations to find the NEXT BIG IDEA from within their own staff.

Why would you want to use ID8Systems?

Three of the many reasons why you would want to use ID8Systems:

  • If you had a significant problem and wanted to encourage an adequate description of the options to attack the problem and wanted to engage a wide range of experts in evaluating the options, then you would want to use ID8Systems.
  • If you were trying to engage a large number of your employees from all parts of the company to be constantly on the look out for new product ideas or process improvements and needed a simple way to capture and evaluate the ideas, then you would want to use ID8Systems.
  • If you were faced with a strategic decision and wanted to engage your best thinkers from across your global enterprise in a real time dialogue that senior managers could listen in on, then you would want to use ID8Systems.
How Does ID8SystemsWork?

ID8Systems provides a real-time, issue specific “Stock Market” that you can easily set up to address an issue you and your organization are facing. Those selected to participate in the market whether they be a large group of hi-potential employees, a set of very specific experts from inside the company, or another set of people can publish their ideas as “stocks” in the “market.”

Within ID8Systems are tools that allow the person(s) proposing an idea to describe the idea in accordance with guidelines set up by the issue owners. The tools enable key information to be displayed on the “stock’s” page and large quantities of supporting information to be attached to this page. Other tools enable real time dialogue between “market” participants on the merits or issues involved with the idea.

Once the “market” is set up, each employee is given a secure password and an amount of virtual money. When addressing the issue at hand, the employee can invest in the ideas he or she believes will add the most value.

ID8Systems and academic research on these “markets” has shown that the ideas that are deemed most valuable will achieve the highest “share price.” Management can quickly see out of hundreds or possibly thousands of ideas which ones are deemed most valuable and why.

Why I Joined Forces:

I had the opportunity to use ID8Systems with a senior team of experts working on a major issue facing a Fortune 20 company. That company, a long-term client, had encouraged the founders of ID8Systems to develop this Web-based approach. The process worked wonderfully. Over a month, an experienced and skeptical team was fully engaged. I did an evaluation of the system’s value after we used it and received an overwhelmingly positive response to its use and for recommending that the system continue to be used on similar significant issues.

As an individual who has focused on change and innovation throughout my career, I approached ID8Systems. I thought my expertise in consulting and change-management would be an excellent complement to their product. We agreed and have joined forces.
