Polaris Industries: Crowdsourcing Innovation with Spigit
Case study showing how Polaris automated innovation management to surface employee ideas and accelerate product development.
Polaris Industries replaced a manual innovation process with Spigit crowdsourcing software. The platform enabled structured idea collection, evaluation, and implementation across the enterprise. Results include an 80% reduction in time from ideation to execution and four bestselling vehicles including the Slingshot three-wheel motorcycle.
Manual innovation processes created silos, slow evaluation, and limited visibility into idea value.
Spigit automated idea capture, scoring, and workflow to increase participation and speed decisions.
Polaris generated 175 ideas in one challenge, producing multiple award-winning vehicles and incremental revenue.
Executive engagement improved through transparent dashboards and comment features on submitted ideas.
Four best-selling vehicles originated from the Ideate program after Spigit deployment.
