Use This Template as a Calendar for Innovation

Innovators often struggle to gather, process, select and implement ideas on a continuous basis. However, some successful innovation programs adopt a format that has some ongoing and short-term categories for ideation. This helps them to keep engagement with their crowd high and their implementation rate as an organization improved. Seasonal interests or thematic trends can be used as a template for shorter term innovation campaigns. For example, some businesses run a March Madness tournament for promising ideas, while others run a cost savings campaign in honor of tax season or ask their crowd where they should direct charitable giving during the holiday season.
