How to Keep Good Ideas Alive

Does your company have a graveyard of good ideas? Fresh ideas keep businesses afloat and competitive in today’s market and shouldn’t be overlooked.

Here are a few suggestions for creating and implementing good ideas.

Survey key players – Ask the most creative members of your team their ideas for improvement or expansion. Also, ask if anything is holding them back from suggesting new ideas, then work to remove these barriers.

Determine its scope – What kind of idea are you planning to implement? Is it something that tweaks your existing systems? Or is it an innovative change that will turn your industry upside-down? You must acknowledge the resources needed to implement your idea, like staff, money, and technology requirements.

Seek outside validation –
