IDEALYST - An Online Idea Generation and Brainstorming Tool

WHY IS IDEALYST BETTER?

IDEALYST solves many of the most persistent problems with traditional brainstorming techniques, offering a number of key advantages:

Anonymity: The anonymity of the web helps remove politics and personalities from the brainstorming process.
Affordability: You can engage participants without travel and facility requirements.
Convenience: IDEALYST’s asynchronous format means that participants can log into the session at their own convenience, day or night, whenever an idea occurs to them.
Better-Developed Contributions: The extended session period, combined with engaging creativity exercises, encourages participants to approach business problems from new perspectives and collect their thoughts before responding.
Creative Incentive System: IDEALYST’s scoring system grants points commensurate with the number and quality of ideas contributed, thereby solving the "free-rider" problem. Participants receive a portion of the cash or prize pool based on the number of points they’ve earned.
Teamwork: Participants are rewarded not only for the ideas they contribute, but also for providing a springboard for others to build upon. This results in better-developed ideas.
