Many innovation systems fail because they are heavy. People avoid forms, and ideas die in email. A usable system starts where people already are — their inbox and files — and reduces the effort to the minimum viable.
Principles of a usable innovation system
- Zero-friction intake: anyone can forward an email or drop a doc; done!
- Visual collaboration: boards make themes obvious and discussions fast.
- Fast feedback: Give people a clear signal when their idea is taken forward.
- Export, don't recreate the same items: As soon as an innovation idea is ready to be taken forward, seamlessly transform the item to your task management system instead of manually managing the items again.
Droplyn embraces these principles. By making intake the path of least resistance, you get more signal and less admin — and a repository of searchable knowledge instead of forgotten attachments. Droplyn's AI will also identify any possible duplicates, in case similar ideas come up again. In case you use another system for following up the implementation work, Droplyn hosts a number of direct integrations to task-management systems.
