4. Challenge
• •Increasing the pace of innovation is
a strategic priority of ING's Think
Forward strategy. We need to get faster and
better at innovating so we can stay abreast of
the pace of change around us.
• •One of the ways to make this happen is
by stimulating a constant flow of ideas,
choosing the best ones and implementing
them well.

5. Challenge
• Provide a platform for innovation
– Track-keeping of ideas & idea-owners
– Collaborative improvement of ideas
 How to make it possible for 53.000
employees worldwide?

6. Approach
• Platform selection via Forrester Report
• A history of innovation that thrives in a
proven framework
• A platform that shares the ING innovation
perspective

7. Approach
• 2 challenges:
– How to mature ideas, link experts and prepare
selected ideas for implementation?
– How to channel/filter ideas from 69.000
employees?
• Through a combination of:
– Cognistreamer XL: Ideation, voting & first
feedback  Massively engage FTE’s
– Cognistreamer IP: Enrichment, review &
selection

8. Cognistreamer XL
• Media campaign ‘tap into knowledge of
employees’
• 4h/employee to think on ideas and to
submit
• 3 weeks to work on ideas with colleagues
• Input: 774 ideas to filter & evaluate

9. Cognistreamer IP
• Selection of 50 best ideas
• 30 ideas continued, 20 didn’t survive or
were merged
• Support by ‘Innovation drivers’ = mentors
for the inventors to mature ideas
• Support by the platform functionalities
(review, swot, expert connecting, …)

10. Cognistreamer IP
• Idea evaluation in sprints:
30 > 20 > 11 > 7
• 7 projects for pitch: final lion’s den

platform flow

14. Addressing the Lack of Resources
(Innovation is about more than the great idea)
What if we thought of each employee like
a neuron in a human brain?
We would perhaps map the connections
in that brain.

15. …and then perhaps we could determine where
certain competencies existed.
We would then create an ordered system by
which to leverage those competencies and
optimize connectivity…
