Your employees know where AI can help. Give them a simple way to suggest improvements and watch innovation flow from the front lines.
An ideas portal is a simple platform where anyone in your organization can submit suggestions for AI improvements, automation opportunities, or process innovations. Think of it as a suggestion box, but with transparency, feedback, and follow-through.
The best ideas for AI adoption don't always come from leadership or IT. They come from people doing the work who see repetitive tasks, bottlenecks, and opportunities every day. An ideas portal captures that knowledge and turns it into action.
Mature ideas portals include voting, commenting, status tracking, and clear processes for evaluation and implementation. Employees see their ideas get reviewed, understand why some are prioritized over others, and get recognized when their suggestions drive value.
