Notes Telligent, a recent Boston Consulting Senior Executive Innovation Survey found that approximately three-fourths of survey respondents stated that innovation is one of their company’s top three priorities. Through InnovationCast and its enhancements, Telligent customers are able to conquer the entire cycle, from the start of idea to full execution, including production of social media applications and structures, implementation of business values, and addition of management tools to preserve upkeep.

The new software comes in two stages: InnovationCast Ideation and InnovationCast Suite. The first enables an organization’s team to strategically construct ideas for their enterprise and determine the best means for social engagement within internal structures. The secondtakes what foundation has been laid in Ideation, and helps to build upon it with further projects and opportunities, fostering ideas into action. Think of it like: plant the seed in Ideation; water and fertilize in Suite.

Rob Howard, Telligent Founder and Chief Technology Officer, says,

Organizations require end-to-end tools to enable them to harness collaborative ideation and innovation with customers, partners and employees. Built on top of Telligent’s enterprise social collaboration platform, InnovationCast leverages the social collaboration platform to help organizations take advantage of this untapped customer and employee knowledge and enable them to sell more products or reduce expenses."

Along with the new additions, both packages are equipped with InnovationCast Analytics and Rewards & Recognition to help monitor and evaluate results.
