Pitch
Employees share a problem and how AI could help. A short written pitch is enough. Video is optional.
AI Opportunity
Sprint.
Turn employee ideas into a ranked list of AI use cases.
Your colleagues know where AI could help.
People adopt what they choose.
Format
It fits around your team’s regular work.
- Runs virtually over 2–4 weeks
- Facilitated sessions, with flexible work in between
- You finish with a ranked list of AI use cases
From ideas to priorities
How the sprint works.
A popular idea advances to the next round. Then a cross-functional team develops it in detail. Does it deliver value? Is it feasible? Will it drive AI adoption? Your executives make the final call.
Select
The community discusses and votes on ideas, choosing which deserve a closer look.
Develop
Cross-functional teams form around the selected ideas, investigate them, and use a shared scorecard to assess value, feasibility, scalability, and desirability.
Rank
Teams present their findings. The community votes, and executives select priorities for implementation.
Two ways to run it
Your tools or ours.
Methodology + Facilitation + Your tools
We help you frame the challenge, invite contributions, and run each stage. You get templates, scorecards, and facilitated sessions through the final ranking. Your team manages submissions and collaboration in the tools you already use.
Methodology + Facilitation + IdeaMentor
The same process, with our software built to support it. We set up your IdeaMentor workspace and help participants get started. Tools and agents support contributions, voting, team formation, and evaluation between sessions.
Less coordination. More participation.
IdeaMentor.
Ideas from across the business.
Collect contributions across time zones, locations, and departments. People participate when they can. Mentoring agents help them sharpen their pitches.
Connect people across the organization.
AI suggests cross-functional teams based on participant preferences. People work with colleagues they don’t already know, and every idea gets diverse perspectives.
A consistent idea scorecard.
An approved scorecard helps teams review each opportunity and document their evidence. Your executives compare proposals on the same basis.
Keep all ideas after the sprint. Revisit them as priorities change.
