Case Study: Nestlé boosts employee innovation with Sideways 6

The story of Nestlé’s inspirational investment in innovation

Nestlé, a global FMCG company, faced the challenge of fostering internal innovation and discovering intrapreneurs among its 300,000+ employees. The company wanted to create a scalable process to capture and develop ideas from its vast, digitally-connected workforce. To address this, Nestlé partnered with vendor Sideways 6 and utilized its idea management platform.

By integrating the Sideways 6 platform with Microsoft Teams, Nestlé created a highly effective system for launching innovation campaigns and collecting employee ideas. This solution from Sideways 6 led to over 4,800 ideas submitted, 67 projects funded, and engagement from 63,000 employees. The initiative also fostered a strong culture of collaboration and is estimated to have saved the company multiple millions of dollars.
