speed ideation - I like that :-)

@sorenhelsted we do this in a small club I am a member of - one meeting, everybody can throw in ideas and we vote directly after a 5-10 minute discussion - usually works out

I like ideation process - however the key is execution! There needs to be close business interlink..

often the best ideas come quickly - and the best results from combining them afterwards

@sorenhelsted ...and then comes executing on those....the real fun part :-)

@singhvivek73 ah - two minds one thought...

Great idea!!

really cool idea

OK - there seems to be a lot of acceptance of that - I'm in for setting this up if guys here assist

should be used instead of "brainstorming" in a closed room

lets institutionalise

@sorenhelsted No - let's just do it :-)

Vivek - see the thread below

Information about how to engage can be found in C3: "Ingenuity Worx Pilot"

and of course - if you want to get involved, just get involved -)

and the two challenges already posted are "real world" problems - but I guess that depends on your definition!

Vivek, there are two specific challenges we are asking you to provide solutions for. The Ingenuity Worx portal is open to all CSC employees. All you need to do is engage. Simple as that.

On the C3 page you'll see the link to Idea Central where Ingenuity Worx is housed (behind global pass): https://csc.idea-cen...

Thank you for your feedback, I did review the two specific challenges posted on the portal and I think its too broad a challenge to evaluate and action in my humble opinion. My suggestion would be to drill down and perhaps that may be the plan..

First, go to the Idea Central platform to see the ideas submitted so far...

There are lots of ways to participate: submit an idea, join forces with someone's idea, or just put in your 2 cents.

Participation has been very good so far, but I'd like to encourage more collaboration...

For many of the ideas, I posted comments on how to improve the ideas by collaborating with others. I hope the innovators take it to heart.

OK - I need to admit I still owe my two cents - but promise to do better next week (or this weekend after #fifa2014 is over)

@JerryAOverton Agree, synergistic building off other people's ideas should outperform individual's working on their own

Awesome. Looking forward to it. It doesn't have to be elaborate, just what ever you care to contribute.

Jerry has given lots of suggestions in the comments on Idea Central for how folks might combine their ideas with others submissions--deeper collaboration. So that's another way to participate: review and comment and build on others' ideas.

Finally, I recommend helping current innovators make connections with others that might be able to help their idea. If you know someone who might be interested in enhancing the idea, let 'em know.

one interesting dilema is managing an "idea competition" vs a collaborative ideation platform - we need to figure how to balance the best of both

@phowarth001 Well said Paul...we seem focused on competition but there's a lot of support for a hybrid approach

@JerryAOverton Yes... better yet, if you know someone who *should* be helping to enhance the idea, encourage them to participate.

In general people with opinions and people who know the technology and the business domain. And then we should have the odd ones who can give the wild comments.

It would be good to have a representation of Clients in this, to encourage participation, but also develop ideas that will impact the client.

everybody - there's no perspective we should miss - everybody can add value if willing to do so

@ckinson and in next step have the clients evaluate ideas we have for their business

Who evaluates may need to vary by challenge. The more general the problem "pattern", the broader the pool of stakeholders obviously

seems to me a key step is to combine and synthesize multiple ideas not just evaluate them individually – so it is important to cast the widely for people to participate in the process, including people outside of CSC

@ChrisFangmann agree, the value here to me is driving innovation with our clients, and giving them a mechanism to develop their ideas through a technology partner like CSC/

@gblnetwkr maybe we need to figure out the team that will synthesize multiple ideas

@gblnetwkr agree. We need to open the conversation.

@ckinson ...maybe we should run an ideation event to find out whom to include in future ideations....

and even an ideation event to help shape the challenges we need to tackle and prioritise (including clients as appropriate)

Clients, partners, competitors, open innovation = anybody with a voice

absolutely - some of our partners already run external challenge events - we could co-host something, invite them into an internal challenge etc

@sorenhelsted Thank you - I know we're always on the same page :-)

:-)

@phowarth001 Yes!

Only if the Offering Management or OM (aka The CSC Design Framework) can engulf these - otherwise we may have to challenge OM.

@rosenbrot Peter - then we challenge OM - we need to engage with customers & partners on every single layer

in our work on co-creation a big theme is the creation of engagement platforms, especially ones that take advantage of digital – duplication at no cost, shareable globally in an instant, and scalable to billions

Imagine the day when multiple clients, partners and CSC come together around idea, which not only solves the client problem, improves product development in our partners and increases sales and puts CSC on the Innovative map.

We actually had this (f2f meetings) with one large client already - client presenting business issues to a group of selected partners (all competitive) - not sending out RfPs also helps our clients

we think the new generation of virtual reality tech will let us create engagement platforms that gives a feel of real making prototyping much faster. Facebook's purchase of Oculus for $2 billion & Google's cardboard are just the start
