Submitting an Employee-driven Idea

The Employee-driven idea option is available for users with a limited amount of information related to the process/task they are describing, and are not so familiar with RPA.

To start the process click the Submit new button available on the top, right-hand side of the page.



On the selection screen, select Idea, then select the category that applies to your idea.

As per your current permissions, you are now asked to select a Business Area for your automation. From the dropdown list, choose one that applies. Continue with a Category, Sub-Category, if the case. Based on the selection and according to your permissions, the system loads the list with available idea flows (e.g. Employee-driven idea, CoE-driven idea, Citizen Developer automation, Change request) that can be selected in Idea type.

If you're not sure that the chosen task/process is suitable, follow the submission process as it's created to help you decide, and, at the same time, you will become more familiar with the criteria used for assessing a task/process. To test an idea, it first needs to be shared.

As soon as you shared an idea the below flow is initiated:

  1. The platform automatically calculates the Idea Score.
  2. An Idea Profile is created. Check it to follow its evolution and updates.
  3. The idea undergoes several reviews and updates. Check out the Idea Review Phases for more information.
Below you can find a graphic display of the Employee-driven idea flow:
