Improvement Plan
The best ideas come from the front line. Now they reach the plan.
The Improvement Plan in Empiraa GPS collects ideas from across the business on a shared board. People vote and comment, leaders move ideas from review to implemented, and the best become part of the strategy.
- Set up with your plan
- Unlimited users
- 30-day pilot
Why ideas get lost
Good ideas die in inboxes and corridor chats.
What gets in the way
Nowhere to put them
Ideas come up in passing and are never written down.
No way to choose
Leaders can’t see which ideas have support across the business.
No link to the plan
Approved ideas run on the side, instead of as part of the strategy.
How it works
From a passing thought to part of the plan.
How ideas move
Capture ideas in seconds
Anyone can add an idea from their home screen, with a short title and description. Set up a board for each team, site or theme.
