Social Networking Innovation
We focus on Facebook but there is Flickr, YouTube, blogging and that is just the start of it...it's really up to you. Online communications tools are there to help creativity, then manage the ideas management process. LinkedIn may work best if most of your colleagues use that. However if the firm already has an a more formalised innovation scheme, a combination of social network tools and the scheme can work. There is no rule to this. A facilitator in the middle online or at the end of the phone may be your firm's chosen route for example. Contact us if you'd like some ideas.

Social Media at work in a B2B Environment
Now let's tell you about one particular online solution we recommend that will work with B2B or any work situation Jenni on Facebook.
This is how it works
Jenni on Facebook is very possibly the coolest thing since absolute zero. It's a tool that allows you to show off your incredible imagination and stunning creativity. Simply click on any of the creative challenges on the main page. Read the details of the challenge, browse ideas already there and submit your own ideas. You might win prizes. At the very least, you'll amaze your friends and impress members of whichever sex appeals to you thanks to your superior creative skills!
500 million active users
500 million active Facebook users have a chance to suggest innovative ideas on the hottest networking site on the web. Jenni ideas software management will enable everyone of them to participate in ideas campaigns via their Facebook accounts. And companies, charities, politicians and other organisations can use Jenni ideas management software to draw ideas from the public or anyone using Facebook. That million pound idea, or save the planet suggestion, Jenni and Facebook captures and rewards.
Facebook users can offer their ideas by clicking on a link to the Jenni website, reading the challenge and submitting their views. They can also build on other ideas they discover on Jenni on Facebook.
Examples
Jenni on Facebook is designed according to creative problem solving methodology – or what most of us would call “brainstorming”. There is a back-office, firms (or governments or other organisations) can use to launch Creative Challenges, such as “What improvements would you like to see in our products?”, “In what creative ways do you use our products?”, “In what ways could your local council better serve you?” and so on. Facebook users read the challenges and submit their ideas on Jenni on Facebook.
Traditional suggestion schemes often fail due to lack of focus with the co-coordinator being swamped. Jenni has processes in-built to deal with volume and is concerned with specific challenges set by the organisation.
In order to get people on Facebook to participate in creative challenges,we recommend offering rewards. For more suggestions see our rewards and incentives suggestions.
Jenni on Facebook is in beta testing at the moment. It is expected to be open for public testing in early October and ready for full use before the end of 2007. Jenni on Facebook is based on Jenni idea management software service, version 3.4, a stable and well tested enterprise idea management software product.
