Each user's role

Three actors participate in Ideasmine: the admnistrator, the manager and the author.

Ideasmine has integrated features of friendliness, tasks relief in order to insert it  naturally in the daily activities of the main actors.

THE ADMINISTRATOR

  • Ensures the whole IdeasMine system is working properly.
  • It ensures the natural involvement from a maximum number of authors ideas by exmination of submitted ideas, recording links with similar ideas or in synergy.
  • Ideasmine helps the administrator by reminder and an automatic linking of the ideas issuers. Much of the animation is done automatically by regular customised information for authors on the status of their ideas, their synergy with others. At the end of the process, individual ideas may eventually come together to be taken over by the issuers or actors concerned.
  • Has no hierarchical position in any specific sector.
  • Is the interface between employees and support functions to facilitate the communication between the different actors and enhance the dynamics of the system.The reports available on Ideasmine help him in this process. This approach allows him to validate the ideas and group of ideas selected.
  • Defines and validates the monthly report that is transmitted to the HR Department, to the site responsibles and the supervisors.
  • Organizes the communication all around the IdeasMine system in connection with the communication service.

THE MANAGER

  • It supports the dynamics evolution around an idea or a group of validated ideas and records each stage reached to implementation. Ideasmine helps him by automatic information about the stage reached.
  • Helps the authors if they ask for it, to write their ideas.
  • Values the work of his entire team with comments about the indicators at meetings.These indicators are provided by Ideasmine.

THE AUTHOR

  • Participates in the system posting ideas regularly.Ideasmine provides to the administrator automatic features to involve authors and give them the status of their ideas, the ideas in synergy and others. This allows the author to interact naturally with others.
  • Brings his support to the manager associated to his idea, in order to facilitate the implementation.
  • Ideasmine informs him regularly of the progress of his ideas.

THE IDEAS

The lifecycle of an Idea for improvement follows 4 steps :

  • Submitted Idea.
  • Idea in study.
  • Idea on implementation.
  • Idea implemented.

In case of impossibility, the idea could eventually be classified as "discarded".

  1. The Idea is posted with the "POST IDEA" form in the system.
  2. The Idea is studied by other authors and by the administrator. If the decision « retained / discarded » requires a deeper study, the author must obtain a 1st response within 8 days. The idea changes its state to "on study".The author is automatically being informed of this evolution.
  3. The Idea is implementable. The manager and the implementation deadline are defined. The Idea changes state to "on Implementation" for a maximum of 3 months. If this deadline is not respected, the idea  returns to the manager who has to give an answer within 4 days.
  4. The Idea is implemented.The author is being informed about the fact that the Idea reaches the state "Implemented". After that it will be archived.
  5. If the idea is not implementable, the administrator will explain the reasons to the author and will classify the idea as "ideas not retained". Then it will  be archived. The administrator  thanks the author and encourages him to continue his participation in the collective process.
