Boosting participatory innovation: Users discover and enrich the proposed initiatives
Discovery of the proposed initiatives
Users have access to a space that brings together all ideas, good practices and innovative projects. Using search filters, they can efficiently navigate through a multitude of project sheets proposed by other users.
A project catches their attention? They can browse the entire project sheet by viewing a wealth of rich and detailed information associated with the project in question. From detailed descriptions to adding documents, including the benefits or resources needed to complete the project. Indeed, Each sheet offers a complete vision thus facilitating a thorough understanding of its context and objectives.
Interaction around initiatives
Beeshake is not just a showcase. It is a living space where interaction is encouraged and valued. Users have the ability to comment and share project sheets that interest them.
They can respond to surveys directly related to the subject of the project allowing them to actively contribute to collective reflection. But not only that! They can also vote and support the projects that interest them, allowing the projects most popular with the community to emerge.
Additionally, each team can specify skills needed to complete the project. If a member recognizes himself in the required skills, he can express his interest in joining the team.
Boosting participatory innovation: Users propose initiatives
Beeshake allows each user to boost participatory innovation and become a potential contributor to the construction of an innovative ecosystem. Ideas can flourish and thecollaborative innovation then emerges.

Indeed, users have the freedom to submit their ideas directly on the platform, whether these ideas are the result of a sudden inspiration or a response to an irritant encountered.
The process is simple and accessible to everyone. In fact, users fill out different fields on the project sheet, detailing their initiative from every angle. These fields can include information such as the description of the idea, its objective, the resources needed, and much more. This structured approach ensures a clear understanding of each initiative, facilitating the evaluation and collaboration process.
Similarity of projects

100% customization of the project sheet
Flexibility is at the heart of this approach. Indeed, the fields of the project sheet are fully configurable by the platform administrator. This means that Beeshake adapts to the specific needs of each organization, thus allowing optimal personalization of the participatory innovation experience.
A jury can moderate and evaluate ideas, good practices and innovative projects
Beeshake allows you to create synergy between project initiators and the jury group, thus promoting a culture of innovation where every idea is guided, evaluated and refined.
Moderation and evaluation of the Jury group
As soon as an initiative is published on the platform, a jury group receives a notification informing it that a project is ready to be evaluated. This then ensures optimal responsiveness..
Jurors have the opportunity to moderate the project, ensuring that it respects the standards and values of the organization. In this way, they can move the project forward to the next stage if they feel that it is progressing in a positive way, thus encouraging promising initiatives.
The evaluation of the project by the jury is done according to criteria defined in advance, allowing an objective and transparent evaluation. These criteria may include feasibility, originality, potential impact, and other relevant aspects depending on the specific objectives of the organization. Each member of the jury can assign a score to the project and add an explanatory comment for a thorough evaluation.
Viewing the jury's evaluation
The result of the jury's evaluation is not reserved for a restricted circle. The project sheet can display the results, thus providing total transparency. Each member of the platform can thus see the averages of the marks given by the jurors, on each defined criterion.
Ideas, good practices and projects evolve and can be selected
Evolution of initiatives
Innovation is an evolutionary process, initiatives are not fixed once launched. The project team has the freedom to evolve its initiative over time, and to do so, it can create a detailed roadmap.
This roadmap, similar to a strategic to-do list, provides a clear overview of the different stages of the project. Each stage can be associated with a specific document, a responsible person and a due date. This helps the team stay organized, track project progress, and ensure efficient time management.
This dynamic approach reflects the reality of innovation, where adjustments and improvements are commonplace. The project team can thus adapt to challenges and opportunities which emerge as the project progresses.
Selection of the most promising initiatives
In order to encourage the visibility and recognition of exceptional projects, The jury has the opportunity to select initiatives that particularly attract its attention. These selected projects can be found in a dedicated space, thus offering a special showcase to the most promising ideas.
