    IDEAS IN RAPID TESTING

The Challenge

With 4,500 employees across three hospitals, ProHealth Care is a leading provider of health services in the Greater Waukesha area. ProHealth wanted to take a more patient-centric approach to its care model, and leadership knew that their front-line employees—those interacting with patients on a daily basis—had the insight to help. However, the health system’s previous methods of idea collection, prioritization, and implementation lacked efficiency and transparency, qualities ProHealth knew make for a more engaging and innovative work environment.

The Solution

Since this was the first time ProHealth had engaged employees at scale, it was looking for a partner that would help in each aspect of its program, from strategic planning and promotion to developing a best practice framework to rapidly pilot ideas once selected. Ideawake’s implementation plan accounted for all three stages, from the initial engagement stage to an end-to-end system to validate, prototype, and pilot ideas selected as the most promising.

“The Ideabox Program was a great way to introduce how to take an idea and validate it, whether it will meet the needs of a target market or not.

“Testing assumptions and validating them required a different kind of work effort than many [employees] had done in their day-to-day jobs. A real stretch for some team members, but very worthwhile.”
