Thanks to a dedicated team of almost two dozen IUG volunteers serving as Moderators and Experts, each challenge has produced actionable ideas and clear priorities.\u00a0 Innovative is incorporating the input into the development planning process immediately.<\/p>\n<p>We also want a way to capture ideas from our customers that might not match an open challenge.\u00a0 The new Always Open Space ensures that ideas always have a place to land. \u201cWe want to focus development resources on the areas that will deliver the greatest value to our customers,\u201d says Kathryn Harnish, SVP of Product Strategy at Innovative. \u201cIdea Lab gives us an opportunity to hear directly from our customers about their priorities, and to quantify the impact of proceeding with a new development or enhancement. Challenges are one way to ask for that input, and the new Always Open Space is another way we can always be listening for what our libraries need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the addition of the Always Open Space, customers can enter ideas about any current product at any time into Idea Lab.\u00a0 Even better, the Always Open Space is organized so customers can submit ideas for new solutions completely unrelated to current ILS offerings, opening the door to some truly Innovative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/idealab.iii.com\/alwaysopen\/Page\/HowItWorks\">learn more<\/a> about how ideas graduate in the Always Open Space.\u00a0 We invite all Innovative customers to <a href=\"https:\/\/idealab.iii.com\/main\/User\/Login?\">create an account<\/a> on Idea Lab and join the discussion.\u00a0 Please spread the word to colleagues at your own institutions and beyond to get involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Innovating!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>View other articles about Idea Lab here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iii.com\/tag\/idea-lab\/\">https:\/\/www.iii.com\/tag\/idea-lab\/\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less than a year after the initial launch of Idea Lab, Innovative is pleased to expand our customer-driven innovation program with a new opportunity for collaboration.
