Employee Ideas Platform

A Power Apps innovation scheme that takes a staff suggestion through to a decision.

The challenge

Staff suggestion schemes usually die in an inbox. Ideas arrive by email, nobody can see what has already been proposed, there is no consistent way to judge them, and contributors never learn what happened to theirs—so after the first round, people stop bothering.

What I built

A Power Apps platform where every idea is submitted against a live campaign, scored on the same questions, and visibly tracked to a decision. Colleagues can back an idea, sponsors can take one on, and a leaderboard keeps the scheme visible. Taken from BRD through to delivery.

Capabilities

Campaigns for each theme—work optimisation, innovation, operational efficiency, safety and sustainability—each with its own closing date
Ideas submitted against a campaign, so every suggestion arrives in a context that can be judged
A consistent evaluation form: ease of implementation and resource availability, answered the same way every time
Colleagues back ideas with likes, and a Top Ideas board keeps the best ones visible
Sponsorship, so an idea gets an owner rather than sitting unassigned
A personal view of your own submissions and the ideas you sponsor
A contributors leaderboard and wishlist to keep the scheme alive after launch
