Case Study: Healthcare Corporation engages nearly 60,000 employees and generates 5,600 ideas with Planview IdeaPlace

Healthcare Corporation Innovates by Engaging Nearly 60,000 Employees in Idea Challenges

This diversified, multinational Fortune 50 healthcare corporation — serving more than 24 million members with government-sponsored programs and operating across the US, UK, Spain and Slovakia — needed a way to tap the knowledge of a 69,000-employee workforce. With employees dispersed and no enterprise crowdsourcing process in place, the organization struggled to engage staff broadly and surface ideas to solve real business and clinical challenges.

The company implemented Planview Spigit™ as a unified innovation management platform and launched enterprise-wide and local idea challenges guided by a formal playbook and executive sponsorship. The program has engaged nearly 60,000 employees, generated about 5,600 ideas, and moved 15 winning concepts into active implementation; a rapid COVID challenge drew ~10,000 participants and 1,000 ideas, producing two fast-tracked solutions now being rolled out.
