When establishing an innovation program, business leaders often struggle with forecasting the potential economic impact. To address this, Planview IdeaPlace commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct an independent study examining the value customers receive from implementing an innovation program that leverages Planview IdeaPlace’s enterprise innovation management software.
To quantify the complete value of innovation program that leverages Planview IdeaPlace’s
ideation management software, Forrester analysts conducted in-depth interviews with business leaders from five long-time customers in order to measure the total economic impact over four years. They then used the characteristics and experiences of those interviewed companies to develop a composite organization and associated financial model. This was used as the foundation of the Total Economic Impact (TEI) model.
In The Total Economic Impact™ Of An Innovation Program Driven By Planview IdeaPlace, which is a May 2017 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Planview IdeaPlace, Forrester reveals their findings. Here are some highlights.
Monetary benefits of building an innovation program that leverages Planview IdeaPlace
How does an innovation program driven by Planview IdeaPlace impact a company’s bottom and top line? Based on Forrester’s financial model, due diligence, and customer interviews they found the following:
$105 million (factors in the cost to develop ideas once they’re selected) in incremental revenue from new products
From a manufacturer accelerating and bringing an idea for a three-wheeled motorcycle to market to a major telecommunications company turning an idea from a Call Center employee into a viral campaign, Planview IdeaPlace has been instrumental in enabling customers to identify new products to take to market.
$19 million in process improvement cost savings
Identifying opportunities to make processes more efficient and cut costs is also an important goal for our customers. By leveraging the collective intelligence of their employees, customers, and partners, customers they put themselves in a position to uncover areas where costs can be cut significantly.
