Remember the old "Suggestion Box"? Many companies had them available so they could take advantage of their employees' creativity, thoughts, and ideas.
It was a great move for a company to make ... but offered limited ability for its employees to bounce ideas off one another.
Nowdays, many companies allow regular time within their work schedules for brainstorming sessions. The direction and opportunities for creativity to flow within these meetings can be exhilirating to company and employee alike ... the resulting ideas endless.
But ... wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to limit that creativity and flow of ideas to a certain time period of the day or week??? How about having access to that well of ideas every minute your business is open?
A new invention made possible through the brainstorming and entrepreneurial efforts of a group of college students, may make the old-fashioned suggestion box and brainstorming session go the way of the dinosaur.
Once applied, this product makes it possible to never kill a tree or waste paper ever again while in the pursuit of great new ideas for your company. Definitely a "green" way of producing new ideas for your company.
What is this new and exciting invention?
Meet ... IdeaPaint! It's a paint that can turn almost anything into a whiteboard. IdeaPaint literally makes almost any surface a canvas on which new innovative ideas and inspiration can be written or drawn.
Young entrepeneurs from Babson College, CAS-MI Laboratories from Ypsilanti, Michigan, and a group of contributing investors, spent over 4 years looking for the right ingredients and recipe to make this novel groundbreaking idea a reality. IdeaPaint can help provide an inexpensive source of ideas for stagnant companies or those just looking to push their limits... as a can can cover approximately 50 square feet and costs only $199.
Over 20,000 businesses worldwide have already jumped on this idea and have covered their company walls with this new product.
Feedback to IdeaPaint management has related that most companies say their employees are excited by the availability of this open forum for ideas and welcome the opportunity to write something creative almost daily. Some employees have even admitted to being "IdeaPaint junkies".
