Leaders in Innovation and Idea Management

ideas equal unlimited competitive advantage With a proven track record and over 650,000 licensed users, Imaginatik is by far the top vendor of Idea and Innovation Management software and solutions. Our clients demonstrate the benefits that they have reaped through their implementations in press articles, analyst reports and at conferences. Idea Central is the top selling software package, and the winner of the prestigious Basex Award for Excellence.

Delivering ROI - fast

Working with top companies around the world, Imaginatik has established a reputation for practical solutions that deliver quick and significant return on investment. The implementation of our solutions is based on the principle of 'Massive Incremental Change', developed through doctoral research at the Cass Business School, London. Our objective is to provide tangible benefits to our clients from the moment the project begins, and the impressive results from Idea Central implementations have certainly achieved that goal.

Ideas = unlimited competitive advantage

A company that is able to take advantage of the ideas from its employees, customers and partners and turn them into valuable business opportunities, is a company that is built to survive and thrive. Ideas, embedded in an organization that encourages innovation and risk taking, become a source of unlimited competitive advantage.

Real benefits from Knowledge Management

Imaginatik's approach to Knowledge Management focuses on the creation of 'dynamic' knowledge, the creation of new insight and ideas, as opposed to the 'static' knowledge contained in most corporate knowledge repositories and portals. Our methods, encapsulated in software, help companies capture tacit and explicit knowledge from people across the organization, and apply it to current and future business issues.

Leadership, people and the best Innovation Management process

The research shows that there are three things that are critical for innovation success: leadership, climate and culture, and the process to manage ideas. We understand that software is therefore only a part of the solution, and we have invested considerable effort in developing a flexible methodology to help companies get the most from their Idea Management initiatives.

We are Innovators

We draw on our strong academic background and a program of ongoing research with thought leaders and leading edge companies to continually enhance and expand our offerings. Our ultimate goal is to help companies innovate better across the entire enterprise, and we are committed to developing methods, processes and software tools to achieve this.
