The first step to submitting an idea is to log in to your company’s innovation environment using the credentials that were shared with you. Once logged in, you’ll land on the platform’s home page.
There, you’ll find the ranking of the most innovative users, a timeline featuring ideas submitted by you and your colleagues and the open challenges where you can contribute with your own ideas.
Depending on your company’s gamification setup, as you interact with the platform—by submitting ideas to open challenges or engaging with your colleagues’ ideas—you can earn points that boost your position in the ranking, helping you stand out as one of the top innovators. Be sure to check your company’s program guidelines to understand exactly how gamification works. 😉
There are several ways to submit ideas through the platform. Below, we’ll walk through how to submit an idea via:
-
The campaign description page
-
The platform’s home page
-
Other sections of the platform
-
Using AI to assist with your submission
Campaign Description Page
If the challenge is new and you haven’t submitted any ideas for it yet, simply click on the banner image for that challenge on the home page.
This will take you to the challenge description, which will help guide your thought process and inspire more targeted ideas.
After reading the description, just click the Submit button to open the form and let your creativity flow.
Platform Home Page
If you’re already familiar with the challenge objectives, you can click directly on the Submit button located at the bottom-right corner of the challenge banner on the home page.
Once you click the button, you’ll be taken straight to the idea submission form.
Other Sections of the Platform
You’ll also find the idea submission icon on various other pages throughout the platform. By default, it appears in the top-right corner of your screen.
You can find it, for example, on the My Ideas and All Ideas pages:
Clicking the icon will also take you to the idea submission form.
Use AI to Submit Your Idea! 🤖
To support you in the idea submission process, the platform currently offers Artificial Intelligence in two areas:
-
Similar Idea Suggestions
-
Help with Generative AI
Since Generative AI Help is a newer feature, it has its own dedicated article 🤩 Check it out: Generative AI in Idea Submission: Learn How to Set Up This Feature in Your Idea Program
Now let’s focus on how similar ideas are suggested 😉
As you fill in the Description field of your idea form, our AI scans previously submitted ideas within your company’s program to identify potential matches.
The more detail you provide in the description field, the more accurate the suggestions will be.
By clicking on the AI’s suggestions, you can expand and view all similar ideas identified based on the content you entered in the form.
If no similar ideas are found—or if you entered very little information—the AI will let you know:
If you don’t yet have all the details to finalize your idea, just click Save as Draft to keep it as a draft and come back to edit it later.
But if your idea is ready to go, hit the Send Idea button, and it will follow the approval flow set up for that challenge.
Both buttons are located at the bottom of the idea submission form.
That’s it! You’re done! Now just keep an eye on the platform and your email—you’ll receive notifications whenever there are updates to your idea. 🚀
