Business research conducted has thrown light on employee idea programmes. Idea generation is an art that gets better with practice. Success begets success and those only ideas that have survived the test of time provoke employee learning, not those that have failed. The front facing employees can provide actual information on what happens and their ideas are usually more practicable than others’. Certain organizations have in built brick walls which fail the stem the flow of ideas. Central review groups’ presence is often the main reason for the shortage of ideas. Sometimes such programmes fail due to lack of timely feedback. This is particularly common at large organizations with complicated communication lines. Rejection of ideas do not always discourage the people concerned from coming up with others. They realize that such programmes do not succeed right from the word go, but need patience. Ideation does not necessarily improve with increased monetary rewards. Good ideas are often a reflection of positive work goals set by the organization.
