Product Innovation
As an innovative company, ISDE has been keen to exploit new technologies and apply them to the ideas management process. Indeed, many of the techniques now common to suggestion software systems were pioneered by ISDE, but we always ensure that the technologies are stable, have gained market acceptance with our customer base and most importantly, add value to the process.
In November 2007, our managing director, Robert Wood, received a BAE Systems Chairman’s Innovation Award for the novel reward structure he proposed that underpins the PRIDE suggestion
programme. As a result, PRIDE participation rate moved from 12% to over 50% (the percentage of employees that submitted an idea in one year), with around 3,200 ideas submitted since March 2006 achieving savings of around £18 Million.
Process Driven Tailoring
The philosophy behind our software supply is that the solution must reflect the process used within the particular suggestion scheme. It is remarkable how different the process maps are from one customer to the next, when you get down to the important details that make for a successful implementation. The result of this approach is that most of our customers will describe the resulting system as “intuitive”. The system behaves just as they expect because it is tightly coupled to the process that they want to run.
