Almost every business realizes the importance of innovation, but few take active steps to incorporate it in their business strategy. They might think that having a few employees in the R&D department is enough to stir up new ideas and give something new to the target market on a regular basis. Let us break the news to you; they are not enough. That handful of employees can only come up with a handful of ideas, and a point will come when they will be saturated.

In a world of such widely distributed knowledge and expertise, businesses cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research. Employing tools and resources to extract ideas from external sources such as other employees, customers, vendors, partners, and industry experts spread out around the world is nowadays a more reliable alternative.

Have you ever thought about the ideas that employees in other departments of your organization might have? Or even better, have you thought about what ideas an expert sitting across the world might have for your business? And have you ever considered soliciting ideas from your target market – after all they are the ones who use your product or service and they can tell you best what they want. If you haven’t, now is the perfect time to do so.

Innovative ideas are the fuel that ignites the success of a business. And those ideas coming from people of diverse backgrounds, experiences and skills add unimaginable strength and power to a project. Enterprise software such as WE THINQ enables businesses to gather creative ideas from internal as well as external sources, so that a project can be executed based on contributions from the brightest minds. The ideas gathered through WE THINQ are contributed by millions of people from different corners of the world. They give their input about the best industry practices and tried and tested ideas, which dramatically increases the chances of success of a project.
