Background

Helping large companies innovate isn’t easy, but it is vital. Vital to creating new jobs. Vital to igniting growth. Vital to ensuring a safe, healthy and prosperous future of billions around the globe. 

But, Innovation at large companies is a mess. Employees often have lots of ideas to improve the business, but with no formal process, their ideas go unheard and they eventually give up trying to make a difference. Corporate innovation teams are expected to support a growing list of activities but have historically lacked strong tools designed for the job. Executives, despite having millions to invest, live in fear of disruption, and still have no idea where their “next big idea” will come from, or if it will come at all.

Our Company & Culture

We’re a tight-knit, entrepreneurial minded, team of self-starters who show up every day with a singular mission: to transform the way the world innovates. Our primary focus this year is to continue to add exceptionally talented and motivated individuals to the Brightidea team. We are: ambitious, bold, highly-collaborative, focused and we aim to win. We take a humble approach to changing the way corporate R&D teams run innovation challenges.

Anyone joining our company will have the opportunity to shape the culture and be an integral part of setting it up for long term success. If you can identify with being humble, T-shaped, and relentlessly resourceful than this could be the perfect team for you to add your contributions to and shine in.

We pursue excellence in every aspect of our work and don’t just have a passion for innovation but have tangible experiences that have proven that innovation is deeply rooted in our personal and professional DNA. We’re pioneers in our space seeking to amplify humanity’s capacity to innovate. We don’t think that as a whole we’re innovating as much as we could or should be and have set up a belief system to guide us through the next wave of innovating within the innovation management space.

Brightidea believes that everyone has the ability to make a difference and that a diverse team generates more innovation and bigger ideas. Just as our product invites organizations to crowd source innovation across their workforce, Brightidea is inclusive and does not discriminate. We accept everybody.
