Employees submit ideas through email, Slack, or spreadsheets, but without a structured evaluation process, ideas stall with no owner, no timeline, and no budget commitment, and participation quietly dies once people notice nothing happens with what they submit. Reviewing every idea manually creates evaluation bottlenecks and lets the loudest voice win instead of the best idea. Cross-functional ideas get lost in departmental silos because there's no way to route them to the people with relevant expertise. And when leadership asks which innovation investments actually paid off, most programs can't answer, because there's no structured data connecting ideas to outcomes. Planview IdeaPlace is innovation management software built to solve these problems directly. It runs structured, time-bound challenges to capture, evaluate, and prioritize ideas from employees, partners, or external audiences, applying natural language processing, crowd-based ranking, and expert review to narrow large idea volumes to those with the highest implementation potential. Challenge management replaces ad hoc idea collection with a repeatable pro... cess: configurable templates, an admin panel with customizable idea capture forms, layouts, widgets, and workflow stages, and TeamTap, which lets users create and run challenges without admin access or templates. Challenges support mobile participation and can extend to external audiences through social media credential access, so programs aren't limited to whoever happens to be in the room. Evaluation solves the bottleneck-and-bias problem directly. Smart idea consolidation uses natural language processing to remove duplicate submissions and narrow large idea pools automatically. Pairwise idea ranking uses a bias-free branching algorithm so the best idea wins on merit rather than visibility, crowd predictions estimate revenue, cost, and delivery time, and structured expert review adds quantitative and qualitative scoring at the end. Idea workflow automation advances ideas based on configurable scoring thresholds, so program teams aren't manually reviewing every submission. Collaboration features address the cross-functional silo problem: commenting, voting, moderator roles built around focus, catalyst, and connector functions, and @ mentions route strong ideas to the people with relevant expertise before expert review even begins. Engagement gamification, including badges, points, and reputation scores, along with user skill and interest profiles for targeting challenges by expertise, help sustain participation once a program is running. Guides and tutorials, including in-app help, videos, and walkthroughs, help new participants and program teams get oriented without a separate training exercise. Innovation analytics solve the ROI-measurement problem: embedded Microsoft Power BI dashboards track idea progress, cost to impact, speed to market, and employee engagement, with OData connectivity extending data into Tableau, Excel, and other BI tools, so leadership gets a real answer when asked what the program delivered. Native connectors, Idea to Portfolio, Idea to Project, and Idea to Delivery Teams, close the execution gap by moving selected ideas directly into Planview Portfolios, Planview AdaptiveWork, and Planview ProjectPlace as structured records ready for funding, resourcing, or delivery, without manual re-entry, so a selected idea doesn't quietly disappear the moment someone has to type it into a different system.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I value the transparency, ease of use and gamification. It make innovation easy to facilitate and track from an end to end process. #### Cons the current functionality of running a challenge in different languages. we need to run all challenges in English and French. I want to be able to have French users log into a French experience aka wording, on the same platform as English users would see in English. SSO preferences should be able to get them the language they need. We would then let all users enter ideas in their language of choice and not worry about translating that piece. Our main challenge is having all users on the same platform sharing ideas, but seeing the tool itself display in their language of choice in terms of the fields. It doesn't 't currently perform to our needs and French regulations we need to adhere too. --- ### We have been using Spigit for years to help us crowdsource the best ideas for our organization. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lauren P. - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Pros: - Easy to use for end user. - Idea management via graduation thresholds - Gamification settings - points - A platform for understanding the business - ideas are often posted that are relevant to the situation our front line staff are experiencing and want to improve or change. - Easy for admin to review ideas in each stage/ manage their progress appropriately - Reporting is easy to use (the upgrade was a positive and needed change!) Cons: - Managing ideas that have been "accepted/ implemented". Typically have to do this offline. Perhaps need a `investigating further` option. - Driving user engagement - could the platform have tools to support with this more? #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 #### Vendor response Mark, thank you for your well structured response. Feedback from a long time customer such as Ingeus is extremely valuable. We're reviewing your insights with our Product team as we speak.
