The principle goal of IdeaStream is to collect ideas from communities. In IdeaStream innovators can use a web form to submit ideas structured into various description parts (e.g. idea title, problem description, solution etc.) and attach any desirable content (e.g. images).
Depending on the audience type, the structure and submission methods can be customized to request various additional details of ideas or simplify the input.
Idea Management Systems are based on notion of open innovation. IdeaStream implements this by sharing all ideas to public and allowing to comment on them and vote to express support or discontent.
Additionally, IdeaStream delivers privilege system that can be customized to allow sharing ideas only among certain innovator groups (for example run public innovation contests and private ones in parallel).
IdeaStream allows to categorize ideas in predefined Idea Categories as well as let community shape the organization of knowledge by using tags and keywords.
The amount of categorizations can be extended in many ways to create more sophisticated hierarchies.
A common practice in open innovation is to stimulate feedback by encouraging competition between innovators.
IdeaStream shows a number of idea and innovator rankings visible for all users that promote the most popular ideas and advertise most active members of the community.
