The issue is a common one: the organization is large, the business complex, people aren’t always connected or connecting. How do you find those innovative ideas, easily surface them, and then how do you share that information with leaders and across the organization?

For Sun Life Financial, a leading international financial services organization, they’ve chosen Planbox to help with their global innovation management platform.

Sun Life selected Planbox Innovate after evaluating various alternatives. The key criteria during the selection process included a cloud-based innovation management solution with an intuitive user interface, process automation capabilities, and flexibility to support the different needs of various business areas.

The ‘plan’ is to use the Planbox System to:

  • Collect, track and prioritize feedback, suggestions and ideas from across the organization
  • Create a collaboration platform to foster development of innovation
  • Easily generate progress reports and dashboards for senior management

Sun Life intends to knit together innovation response teams in all its business lines to accelerate insurance innovation.
