Case Study: OSRAM achieves 34% increase in cost savings and boosts employee engagement with HYPE Innovation's Idea Works 2.0

Boosting Engagement and Morale With an Idea Management Platform

OSRAM, a global lighting manufacturer with a long tradition of employee-driven improvement, found its home‑grown idea system lacked transparency, collaboration and speed, which limited participation and slowed review of cost‑saving ideas. To meet corporate goals for greater engagement and faster, measurable savings, OSRAM sought a modern, company‑wide platform.

They implemented HYPE’s Idea Works 2.0 for 6,200 employees, supported by workshops, KPI reporting, information terminals and incentive programs to drive adoption. Within five months review time fell 17%, ideas with direct cost impact rose 76% and realized savings grew 34%, while participation and non‑tangible improvements also increased, making the platform central to ongoing innovation.
