Orange
has been rewarded for the mobilization of its employees and the simplicity of
its innovation scheme at Carrefour 2007, the participative innovation event, sponsored
this year by the French Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Employment.
The trophy highlights the successful relaunch of
Orange
's participative innovation scheme at the beginning of 2007, aimed at 85,000
employees in
France
.
Between February and December 2007, 10,000 employees logged more than 23,000
ideas, compared with 600 for 2006; and close to a thousand ideas are currently
being tested.
In particular, the jury praised an Internet tool called idClic, which
Orange
developed to make it easier both to enter ideas (with authors posting with a
single click) and ensure their evaluation and their development by
Orange
's expert network.
