Idea management

is a term from the fields of personnel and quality management which is often used synonymously for the company suggestion scheme.

Idea management is an umbrella term covering the two participatory optimization systems that aim to utilize the idea potential of all the employees in an organization, and not just that of managers and experts.
The following terms are used in practice in both of these complementary systems:
  • Company suggestion scheme with ideas coming spontaneously to mind, and centralized or decentralized processing.
  • Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) with guided brainstorming in chaired groups.
  • In the expansion of knowledge management, the software and further training are integrated into a single concept. Properly used, idea management is a means of stimulating innovation, saving money and motivating employees in equal measure.
  • Idea management is intended to mobilize performance reserves and promote a creative working atmosphere.

Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) is the term for the approach developed from the Japanese "Kaizen" management principle. This brings about positive changes in a company by means of many small improvement steps rather than great leaps forward. The focus of attention is placed upon improving the quality of the product and process. Especial emphasis is placed here on encouraging employees to submit suggestions . The focus is however placed on developing group and team suggestions rather than on suggestions from individual employees. One can clearly see here the connection between CIP and group work / teamwork. CIP is implemented as a standardized procedure. Whereas the implementation formerly only affected the direct areas of a company (production and assembly areas), nowadays CIP is also implemented in indirect areas (sales and marketing / order processing; purchasing / procurement; development / design etc.). There is a holistic CIP approach throughout a company's entire processes.
