Customer Feedback on IDEASCANNER

IDEASCANNER is a must havein all phases from idea to growth. I am thrilled with the way the tool is easy to use, but deeply maps the many different aspects of a company’s development, stimulates discussion and even encourages team building. It’s a lot of fun to think outside the box and, most importantly, it encourages you to identify innovations.

(Finance-FEM-Lab | jumpp & JPMorgan Chase Foundation)

robust, very fast to results and yet profound, helps massively, makes ideas comparable, creates a standard

(SIEMENS)

The questions that are asked by IDEASCANNER bring more to think about for both someone starting a business and for someone already running the business on how to scan, score and scale.
