Crowdsourcing Ideas with a Virtual Workforce

Organizations are shifting to remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making traditional in-person ways of crowdsourcing ideas no longer an option and forcing companies to find new ways of engaging and connecting with their employees. Even though remote work looks and feels different from working in a traditional office, employees still have invaluable knowledge about the problems in their organization that can help shape company strategy. To capture this knowledge, organizations need to find a purpose-built tool that facilitates capturing, evaluating, prioritizing, and collaborating on ideas. This article showcases how customers of Planview are using their tool, PlanviewSpigit, to engage and connect with remote employees while solving real customer problems, including empowering employees at Premera Blue Cross, scaling globally at Aristocrat, and engaging customers at Ryan Companies.
