Case Study: Aristocrat achieves enterprise-wide, employee-driven innovation with Planview IdeaPlace

Aristocrat Changes the Game by Giving Every Employee the Opportunity to Solve Challenges

Aristocrat, a global leader in gaming with about 7,000 employees, faced the challenge of harnessing creativity across a rapidly growing, diverse workforce to meet varied customer needs and anticipate future trends. The company needed a way to give every employee—regardless of role, location, or language—a voice to identify, ideate, and prototype high‑impact solutions.

Aristocrat launched the thinkBIGGER accelerator using the Planview Spigit innovation platform, creating an interactive, transparent hub for global collaboration, multilingual challenges, and measurable progress. In the first three months the program generated thousands of ideas from five challenges, produced multiple prototypes, and quickly surfaced top concepts—empowering employees and focusing the company on innovations that could transform its business and the industry.
