Case Study: Polaris Industries achieves 80% faster ideation-to-market and multimillion-dollar new products with Planview IdeaPlace

Driving Breakthrough Innovation Through Crowdsourcing

Polaris Industries, the Minnesota-based manufacturer of motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATVs, wanted to harness employee creativity to drive new products but was held back by a fully manual, fragmented innovation process that limited visibility, slowed execution, and made it hard to secure executive sponsorship and funding.

By adopting Planview Spigit to automate its Ideate crowdsourcing program, Polaris cut time-to-analyze and implement ideas by 80%, generated 175 unique ideas in a recent challenge, and turned crowd-sourced concepts into four bestselling, award-winning vehicles (including the Slingshot), delivering millions in incremental revenue and much faster time-to-market.
