How to work effectively with an idea

THE INNOTOOLBOX PROGRAMME HELPS EMPLOYEES TO PUSH ANY POTENTIAL INNOVATIONS FORWARD

aving an interesting idea does not mean that it will result in a successful innovation. But employees can use a new programme that will provide them with the know-how to work with their idea and advise them on the methods and tools that can help them. ŠKODA AUTO was inspired by Kickbox, the programme that Adobe had developed and released for other companies. The InnoToolbox concept was adapted to the carmaker’s needs, as verified during a pilot operation at the beginning of the year that was attended by 30 employees across multiple departments. They learned to use specific techniques relevant to each innovation phase. Eleven of the participants in the pilot run went further with their idea to the phase of conducting experiments in order to verify the hypotheses on which their ideas were based. From the pilot run, for example, a manual for dealers on using WhatsApp to communicate with customers and a programme for micro-traineeships between Purchasing and Technical Development were successfully implemented. “According to feedback from the participants, we’ve updated the programme’s concept and will invite other participants from November 2020”, says Petr Holeček from InnoTeam and the GGS – Corporate Strategy and Innovation Management department.
