We provide everything you need to capture, evaluate and implement great ideas. 

The world is changing rapidly as we face increasingly complex challenges. In these uncertain times, innovation has never been more important. We will not solve these complex challenges with the same approaches as before.

This is where we come in. At SimplyDo, we bring people together to solve the biggest challenges facing us today. We are unlocking transformational change through new ideas across sectors including health, housing, defence and education.

1. Create Innovation Challenges

The most impactful innovation solves a real-world problem. Our challenge-led process does exactly this. It is customisable to unlock innovation from both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Deliver continuous improvement powered by the people that know the organisation best i.e. your employees.
  • Manage R&D open innovation funding awards with increased reach whilst reducing the admin burden of applications.
  • Solve supply chain challenges by accessing products & services from global, national or local suppliers.

2. Engage Targeted Audiences

Innovation is powered by people. Ensuring that the internal or external target audiences are identified and engaged is key to accessing the best ideas and solutions.
  • Our series of guided ‘hack’ sessions ensures challenges are engaging and aligned to strategic objectives.
  • Customise challenge web pages and response formats with automated engagement and reports to track activity.
  • In-product AI-powered tools enable identification & recruitment of pre-qualified innovators to the process (external only).

3. Capture Great Ideas

Submitting an idea is intuitive, secure and straightforward with responses structured to meet challenge requirements. The product is customised so that ideas can be 100% private or shared.
  • Accessible via multiple product routes such as our web browser application, mobile apps or Microsoft Teams.
  • Enable real-time user collaboration and saving of progress for more complex challenge idea submissions.
  • View the progress of ideas including completion stage to predict the number of submissions.

4. Evaluate & Manage Ideas

The assessment and management of ideas can become a complex and lengthy process if not managed effectively. In-product tools remove the admin burden for you, significantly saving time. 
  • Use a range of smart in-product tools to filter and sort submitted ideas all at a click of a button.
  • Allocate and track virtual assessments based on your own customisable scoring framework.
  • Deploy Kanban-inspired project management boards to assign owners while tracking progress of ideas.

5. Measure Activity & Impact

Innovation activity is nothing without understanding the impact. We’ll provide everything needed to measure activities with metrics including ROI trackers to understand impact.
  • At-a-glance and detailed reporting including customisable dashboards with downloadable PDFs and CSV exports.
  • ROI tools to measure the potential impact including revenue growth, efficiency savings and other metrics. 
  • Integrations directly with the tools you already use such as Office365, PowerBI and more.
