Ryan Companies Case Study: Building Innovation Culture with Ideation Platform
Ryan Companies deployed Planview Spigit to run six ideation challenges, achieving 60% employee participation and external customer co-creation.
Ryan Companies created an Insights and Innovation department to formalize ideation across 1,500 employees in construction management and real estate. The team selected Planview Spigit for its ease of use and expert implementation support. Within one year, six challenges were launched, three internally focused on process improvement and three externally focused on solving strategic customer problems. Over 60% of employees participated, and top contributors presented ideas directly to clients in a Shark Tank-style format.
