Your teams see every day what could work better. With CoLab, you launch a consultation on a real business challenge, and Amélio rallies the right teams around the question. Ideas are refined, sorted, and become decisions. Your people go from spectators to owners.
The ideas that change a company come from the people doing the work. But a suggestion box open to everything fills up with good intentions that evaporate for lack of direction and follow-through. True collective intelligence isn't about gathering everything, it's about asking the right question, at the right time, to the right people, and then seeing it through.
You open an innovation cycle on a specific challenge. CoLab brings it to the teams concerned, and those who live the problem propose what no one else can see.
A raw idea becomes a solid proposal when the team comments on it, enriches it, and champions it.
In a management committee, you can come together to select the best ideas. When they are team ideas, project leads can find the hidden gem and organize the ideas so as to bring forward those that will propel the organization or the teams.
Imagine the pride and the powerful impact on the sense of belonging for an employee who sees their idea selected and put into place.
We'll bet they'll picture a long-term future within your organization!
Bring your business needs to your employees and let their expertise come to you.
Like, comment, refine. Let employees reveal the best strategies to you and take them even further.
Rank ideas by your criteria: impact potential, sustainability, popularity, available resources, organizational goals, and more.
Select the best ideas in perfect alignment with your strategic plan, identify volunteers, and get started!
"You have to set boundaries around the sandbox of a creative brief. You can't just say 'be creative.' Instead, you have to be precise about the brief you're giving people."
CoLab doesn't stand alone. It's part of an organizational intelligence system that measures the climate, shows where to act, and supports the move to action.
Your ideas build on what your teams truly experience, thanks to a system that links engagement and innovation.
Your people feel recognized when their ideas move forward, thanks to the natural link with recognition.
Your ideas advance on the issues that really matter, because CoLab starts from a business need and is sorted according to your goals.
Yes, and it goes much further. CoLab creates true innovation sprints to generate ideas: employees turn it into an event, and ideas are voted on, commented on, and followed through to the decision.
Yes. The space can be open to the whole organization or targeted: the employer is free to launch a challenge to everyone or only to certain groups of employees. Each person can then submit, vote, and comment.
No, and that's the whole point. A CoLab is a project that runs on its own: once the space is open, the team leads it autonomously, moves its ideas forward, and keeps control of its own process, without depending on central coordination. It doesn't have to be organization-wide initiatives: each team can launch its own challenge, rally its people, and run its project at its own pace. The tool structures the collaboration, surfaces the best ideas, and keeps everyone aligned, while leaders keep time for what matters most. The involvement required is minimal: you open the field, and the momentum comes from the teams.
It comes into its own within an organizational intelligence system, connected to engagement and recognition.
A few minutes: you open the space, and your teams start submitting ideas the same day.
