USE CASE

Corporate Innovation & Internal Awards

A multinational company runs a quarterly innovation challenge, inviting teams across regions to submit project proposals. Regional managers do initial screening, then a central panel selects winners. Results feed into the company's internal comms and recognition programme.

THE CHALLENGE

Innovation programmes at scale are hard to manage fairly.

Large enterprises face unique challenges when running internal innovation challenges and recognition programmes across distributed teams and regions.

Distributed submission collection

Collecting submissions from teams across multiple offices and regions without a centralised system leads to inconsistent formats and lost entries.

Layered review process

Regional screening followed by a central panel requires a structured workflow that most tools cannot support without manual coordination.

Team confidentiality

Competing teams should not see each other's submissions. Maintaining confidentiality across a shared platform requires robust data isolation.

Integration with existing workflows

Results need to feed into HR systems, internal communications, and recognition programmes — not sit in a standalone tool.
