Through their Ideate Innovation program, which the team uses to surface and develop ideas and turn them into award-winning products. When the program started back in 2004, the goal was to bring employees from all over the company together to present game-changing ideas, solve business challenges, and introduce exciting new offerings to market.<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, an industrial designer and vehicle dynamics engineer conceptualized the Polaris Slingshot, a new form of three-wheel motorcycle that would shatter preconceptions about hybrid or trike-style bikes and attract an entirely new buyer segment. Since its release, the Slingshot has been compared to the Batmobile, a Star Wars pod racer, and something a Marvel Superhero would drive. Today, it\u2019s a runaway bestseller in its vehicle class.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/crowdsourcing-case-study-polaris-industries\/#Tapping_the_Crowd\" >Tapping the Crowd<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/crowdsourcing-case-study-polaris-industries\/#Why_Polaris_Needed_a_New_Approach_to_Innovation%E2%80%94Challenges_Roadblocks\" >Why Polaris Needed a New Approach to Innovation\u2014Challenges &amp; Roadblocks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/crowdsourcing-case-study-polaris-industries\/#Making_the_Case_for_Planview_IdeaPlace%E2%80%94Crowdsourcing_breakthrough_innovation_at_Polaris\" >Making the Case for Planview IdeaPlace\u2014Crowdsourcing breakthrough innovation at Polaris<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/crowdsourcing-case-study-polaris-industries\/#Results_Returns_Repetition%E2%80%94Innovating_to_Compete\" >Results, Returns, &amp; Repetition\u2014Innovating to Compete<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/crowdsourcing-case-study-polaris-industries\/#Your_next_eureka_moment_is_waiting\" >Your next eureka moment is waiting.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"header2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tapping_the_Crowd\"><\/span><strong>Tapping the Crowd<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It was always obvious to leaders at Polaris that there were untapped opportunities to crowdsource groundbreaking ideas from employees across the company. But the company\u2019s existing \u201cinnovation\u201d process was entirely manual, making progress fragmented, expensive, time-consuming, and siloed. They needed a way to access greater idea diversity, streamline the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/solutions\/im-innovation-management\/\"> innovation management<\/a> process, drive implementation, and knock down bureaucracies.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Planview IdeaPlace\u2019s innovation management software came in.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"header2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Polaris_Needed_a_New_Approach_to_Innovation%E2%80%94Challenges_Roadblocks\"><\/span><strong>Why Polaris Needed a New Approach to Innovation\u2014Challenges &amp; Roadblocks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"header3\"><strong>Manual Transmissions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Polaris Visioneering pilot innovation program was 100% manual. Great ideas had limited exposure\u2014and, even when surfaced, moved very slowly towards execution. Without predictability of risk, value, or viability for an idea, executive sponsorship and budget allocation was extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header3\"><strong>Low Visibility, Missed Connections<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With a fully manual system, it was challenging to provide feedback on all ideas or implement new processes. Without greater transparency, Polaris might miss key market opportunities repeat concepts, failure to connect ideas with appropriate business units, and hamper their ability to keep up with competitors.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header3\"><strong>Reimagining Older Models<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because it wasn\u2019t always clear how or why to explore new concepts, Polaris manually tracked potential inventions, process revisions, and other ideas. But bringing old ideas into the future was difficult without a tool to help understand when an idea would be applicable under new business conditions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cPlanview IdeaPlace closely mirrored our existing innovation efforts but allowed us to scale.
