Let employees submit ideas with category, impact and effort fields, and give every suggestion a routed owner and a visible answer — with an anonymous option.
Quick answer
Good ideas usually die from no owner, not no value — tag ideas by category, impact and effort, route them to named owners and require a written reply, so the pipeline stays visible to everyone.
Paper suggestion boxes die between the wall and the shredder. This one keeps every idea as a trackable entry — categorized, tagged for impact and effort, routed to an owner and answered — so staff watch suggestions turn into decisions instead of silence, and good fixes never depend on who remembered to empty the box.
