According to a study, one in four employees in Germany provides ideas for improving the business. That way per 100 employees 70 proposals are made – in the automotive industry even 182 proposals. Not only the enterprise benefits from the proposals, but also the employees. On average 190€ are rewarded for a proposal. World-wide Toyota is leading with 1100 proposals per 100 employees.
Every proposal starts with “I have an idea”. How often do we hear this sentence and express the fact that we have a more or less prepared idea in our mind. The image is, however, not yet clear for other people. Whether a thought is feasible, will be clear after the idea is discussed and simulated.
The idea becomes interesting, if it contains certain elements.
- Determine the topic of your idea!
- Describe the pre-requisites for the idea!
- Imagine the realized idea!
- Clarify expectations of the involved people!
- Define specific measures for the next steps!
The result is the idea with the specified details. It becomes increasingly tangible. In the next step the criteria are described that will foster the familiarity for the target group.
