Do your ideas have the potential for improvement or new products?

If you want to know whether your generated ideas have a high potential for improvement or new products, you should evaluate the effort to realize the idea and the benefit of the idea. This evaluation method is especially suitable for value analysts, continuous improvement process coordinators, and Agile teams.

The informative results chart enables you to the ideas your team should pursue further at a glance – ideas that can be implemented quickly, bringing great added value.

Speed up your decision-making process
