InnoCentive@Work™ is an internal web-based community, customized by InnoCentive for your organization. InnoCentive@Work™ bridges the silos in disparate R&D organizations — something software models can’t do. It applies your best internal resources to your organization’s hardest problems so they’re solved faster, better, and cheaper. Cross-fertilization of ideas and solutions can accelerate R&D by only “inventing the wheel” once and by accessing the currently untapped value of your institutional experience and knowledge. Employees can see and collaborate on each other’s proposed solutions, so results occur faster and are more optimized — as measured by significant business impact, higher levels of solving activity, and freshness of thinking.
InnoCentive@Work™ isn’t just a tool. It’s a transformation in how organizations practice R&D. More than a web platform, it’s a comprehensive suite of offerings that help you create an internal web-based collaborative community for problem solvers. The technology is easy to use. And your proprietary information stays safe through a secure website.
