Connect Your Ideas with Results

For innovation, it’s the results that matter; ideas are just the starting points. Most innovation leaders know this intuitively, yet they struggle with follow-through. Innovation thus remains a speculative, “fuzzy” art.

Results Engine by Imaginatik gives you control over innovation results. Core software functionality helps leaders manage, track, and measure all aspects of the innovation funnel – powerfully integrating the “front-end” of idea collection with the “back-end” of innovation development.

Manage

Results Engine allows your organization to coordinate follow-through across the innovation portfolio. Once selected by the review team, promising ideas become projects for development. With Results Engine, you can tailor stage-gate workflows for each innovation project, and customize project team composition, actions, deadlines, and next steps. Process designs can also be saved as templates for future projects.

Track

In most innovation programs, the input (ideas) and the output (innovations) are easy to spot. But the connections between them are often blurry. Results Engine sheds light on this nether world – with software features that allow ideas to be attached to projects, either singly or in clusters. The resulting concepts can then be modified, enhanced, or re-worked as development efforts progress.

Measure

Ascribing quantifiable value to ideas is a thorny problem for innovation leaders. Metrics are fuzzy at best, or force-fit at worst, and measurements are either post-hoc or nonexistent. Results Engine enables both precision and comparability, while ensuring transparency and accountability. Each innovation project can be valued according to the “right” metrics for its aims, while still rolling up into aggregate measurements across the innovation portfolio.

Innovation leaders often struggle to tame the development funnel, especially within large, complex innovation programs. Imaginatik has 15 years’ experience building sustainable innovation capacity at the world’s best companies. It’s time to take control over your innovation program, with Results Engine.
