Innovation in Reality™

Managing innovation and operational challenges with the power of the entire organization based on the Tieto Innovation in Reality™ solution.

Business development is no longer just a title on a business card. Connecting the corporate talent and inspiration can deliver new momentum to the innovation engine. Beyond innovation, tapping into the creativity and encouraging “we help each other” culture can deliver solutions to business challenges much quicker, simply by changing perspective or combining expertise and experience from multiple business areas and backgrounds.

Eureka! – that is what we call Innovation in Reality™ at Tieto

We at Tieto have established a corporate wide service that helps us to manage the ideas and creativity that over 18.000 employees generate every day. Fully social media inspired, it is crowd-driven with community voting, commenting and networking functions. Everyone is invited, everyone can participate – or simply contribute to the fields that match personal or professional preference expertise.

Backed up by a structured process and corporate commitment to identify, fund and drive promising ideas to market readiness, Eureka! has become one of the most adapted services within the organization. Answering “what’s in it for me” for the colleagues that submit ideas, we are proposing new challenges and responsibilities if an idea turns out to be followed up and funded. It is a potential path to visibility and career within our dynamic organization.

Due to the tremendous success of Eureka! in innovation management, we have added a new twist: activating the “we help each other” attitude within Tieto by posting personal or customer challenges to seek inspiration and support from the global organization. Thereby, our clients can not only count on their core team to deliver excellence but on the entire pool of experts and experience Tieto can offer.

Your benefits of a social media inspired innovation and challenge management service

Speed and quality for internal innovation		Accessing the brain of all employees and enabling them to inspire each other will deliver more ideas in less time; the approach of jointly evaluating the new ideas for business and realization potential quickly narrows the large pool down to the ideas that will make a change and add value.

Increased efficiency in solution development		Activating the entire network of experts has always been a challenge. With Innovation in Reality™, employees that are facing a specific challenge can tap into the resource of the entire company and seek help and inspiration from colleagues they might not have even met yet.

More networked talent across geography and function		The interaction in the context of innovation development and challenge-solving creates new bonds amongst your best asset: your people. They will get to know each other, start to network and maybe form the nucleus of your future business drivers.

Improved corporate culture		With Innovation in Reality™, you deliver the proof that you care and believe. Care for the people in your organization and that you want to give them access to all resources necessary to get their job done. Belief into each individual and the power of the crowd to actively participate in developing the future of your business.
