Idea management

Many businesses struggle with the same problem: too many ideas and not enough resources to implement them all. This can lead to frustration and a feeling of being overwhelmed. One way to combat this issue is to develop a system for managing ideas. This might involve setting up a dedicated team or department to review and prioritize ideas, or it could simply mean establishing some clear guidelines for how and where ideas should be submitted. By taking the time to develop an idea management system, businesses can ensure that they are making the most of their employees' creativity and come up with a plan for implementation that makes the best use of their resources.
