Case Study: Banca Mediolanum accelerates innovation and boosts idea outcomes with Viima

How Viima is used in a financial services institution to systematically collect and manage ideas to turn them into innovations

Banca Mediolanum, a leading Italian financial services institution, sought to overcome a cumbersome and bottlenecked process for its annual Bonus Pool idea challenge. Their previous system for collecting and managing ideas from hundreds of employees was complex and failed to facilitate collaboration. The challenge was to find an engaging solution, integrated with Microsoft 365, that would streamline ideation from start to finish for Viima's product, HYPE Boards.

Viima provided HYPE Boards, a user-friendly idea management platform that integrated natively with Microsoft Teams. This solution enabled effortless idea collection, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. The results included a higher number of implemented ideas with better-than-expected financial results, including specific projects projected to reduce costs by 47% and attract new customer segments. Viima's tool also significantly increased employee engagement and helped shape a stronger innovation culture.
