Very often problem solving in a company remains among those who are working on the subject. My idea is to have A Virtual Creative Board shared across the company. It has two parts : the Problem Resolution Board and the What If board. The Problem Resolution Board: anyone having a problem to solve can post it. Every employee interested in brainstorming to solve that problem can manifest his interest. Then a virtual or physical brainstorming takes place. I think that bringing together people from outside the circle can boost the solutions for the problem and also create a positive energy of collaboration between employees. For example, product development post a resolution about finding a new product to target a specific segment of customers. The accountant, the Vr specialist, the HR intern and few others manifest they interest to participate in the challenge. They can participate in as many challenge as they want, this is part of the work. The Virtual Creative Board has also a "What if" board. In this part every employee can post an idea that they have about anything. Employees can vote about these ideas and if they are selected the ideator will be working on the project. Example : What if we develop a new packaging format dedicated to big families. Best contributors are rewarded in some ways.
