What Idea Management Software Does

Idea management software gives an organization one place to collect ideas, evaluate them on the same criteria, develop the promising ones and track their results.

KWOKKA by UBT™ builds the Unbounded Thinking innovation process into that record. Each idea moves from the problem it addresses to a decision, and from implementation to a measured result.

From suggestion box to idea process

An Alternative to the Suggestion Box

Most organizations have no shortage of ideas. A suggestion box, a shared inbox or a spreadsheet collects them; what happens next is harder to see.

A suggestion box or spreadsheet

Ideas arrive without the problem they solve.

No one is named to follow up.

Decisions rest on opinion rather than evidence.

Contributors rarely learn what happened to their idea.

Results are not recorded, so the return is unknown.

Employees can submit from any device through a link or QR code, without signing in, so the familiar suggestion box becomes the first step of a managed process.

Every Idea Follows the Same Four Stages

Ideas arrive through a submission form or a QR code, and your team reviews each one. Selected ideas then move through the four stages of the Unbounded Thinking innovation process, which your teams can learn in the Innovation Process Certification.

Qualify

Build the business case and check readiness before work begins.

Clarify

Find the underlying problem behind the symptom and frame it as a “How might we” question.

Ideate

Generate a wide range of possible solutions.

Explore

Validate the problem and the solution, then implement with an action plan.

What the Platform Does

Contributors, reviewers and leaders work from the same record, from the first submission to the final result.

Employee contribution

Ideas From Every Part of the Organization

Employees submit ideas through a form set up for each idea list, or through a link or QR code that works without signing in. Ideas stay visible on a shared board, where colleagues comment and vote.

Structured evaluation

Decide Which Ideas Are Worth Pursuing

Your innovation or continuous improvement team reviews each idea, builds the business case and completes a readiness evaluation before work begins, so decisions rest on evidence.

Progress and ownership

See What Is Moving and Who Is Responsible

Each idea has a named owner and moves through defined stages. A board view shows where work is progressing or stalled, and action plans give each task an owner and a date.
