Create and share ideas, discuss and vote on them. Encourage participants to improve ideas.
Evaluate ideas against specific criteria. Develop and elaborate a short list of ideas.
Choose the best ideas to implement to achieve desired outcomes.
How do we build the Innovative Organisation?

“Good programming ideas need development, feedback and discussion. Employee
engagement is a key part of how the BBC operates and we believe there is a wealth
of untapped creative talent which, using Wazoku’s platform customised to our
specific needs, can be used to generate some fantastic TV shows.”
