New business ideas and opportunities are major drivers of growth. Every organisation needs a system of idea management to source, capture and refine the best new ideas. That’s because any one of those ideas could end up defining the next few decades for your industry. Even modest product and process improvements generate considerable gains and savings. So, whether new concepts come from owners, managers, workers, or any other organisational stakeholder, every idea should be investigated thoroughly.

The management of new concepts and ideas is exactly what Concept/Idea Governance delivers. It provides a consistent framework to triage and categorise each new proposal, and helps manage the evaluation, selection, and execution of ideas right through to project approval. With this workflow you can be sure each proposal is carefully interrogated for value, and prioritised in accordance with projected costs, benefits, and alignment to organisational goals. 

Streamline Your Concept Idea Governance with pmo365

With Concept/Idea Governance, all project management ideas, regardless of their origin, are placed in one of three concept categories: Enterprise, Strategic or Operational.

  • The ‘Enterprise’ category refers to ideas with the potential to have a high impact on the organisation’s project portfolio.
  • ‘Strategic’ ideas are those which will further align with the long-term vision of the organisation and could be of direct benefit in terms of increased revenue, enhanced customer experience, or improved operational efficiency.
  • ‘Operational’ ideas are those deemed to have a limited impact on current projects, but which may significantly impact the day-to-day operations of the organisation. These kinds of ideas might, for example, relate to the streamlining of processes and systems, perhaps improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Concept/Idea governance ensures that the process by which ideas are submitted, triaged, optimised, or rejected is consistent and rigorously followed. It also facilitates the seamless integration of successful ideas into the project delivery phase. This minimises the time and effort involved in developing new projects whilst maximising their potential benefit.
