Abstract
How to get ideas from your employee and how the employee shares those with his/ her employer are questions that always come up in many businesses around the world. Getting ideas from your employees is one of the strongest power and differentiation factors for a company/plant/factory. The employees are dealing day by day with your production machines, processes, and procedures, as well as they have a frequent contact toward the customers. They know after some time what the problems are. How to gain the benefit is depending on how the idea management is structured and organised.
The case study will compare two different ways of idea management; one way as a standalone idea management concept and another way as an integrated approach, which is included in the day to day work. It will be shown how to get from a bureaucratic, highly administrative way of idea evaluation and implementation to a teamwork approach with better employee engagement and transparent evaluation process of an idea.
