My stakeholders want to create a Sharepoint-based suggestion box where employees submit a idea and once it is considered as having merit, a discussion board is set up to allow others to contribute their own ideas etc.
I understand how to set up the form on Sharepoint and route it through the approvals. It’s this second part that I’m not clear on how to do. I’ve never seen a Suggestion box or Idea box set up this way (and not sure it’s an ideal solution!) Any thoughts on the implementation or if there is a better way?
You can use the SharePoint 2013 Community Site Template, a Blog Template and create some workflows to replicate (for the most part) the functionality of the popular Starbucks Ideation solution at http://mystarbucksidea.force.com/.
I built out this type of solution in our Office 365 site to demo for clients and prospects. It’s not that complicated, and provides a great way to capture and comment on Ideas, and then drive a business process to implement the idea and share feedback on that process.
