Our time line to finish the project with 6 months  only (so we had to find the supplier, the one who will help us to crate the system with a budget that  not exceed 150K AED.    The project scope includes:

1- Scope of work :

Selection    My team has already gone through several design thinking activities/tools after choosing of the  system through the supplier, so we are ready to have the new System.

A- Release area of focus/ challenges to guide idea submission  B- Receive submitted ideas and keep them identified and categorized  C- Study ideas from required contributors and approve them   D- Ensure smooth handover to Project Management post final approval and resource allocation   E- Send notifications for contributors to ensure on time action  F- Report idea status accurately and up to date, along with data extraction feature for decision

making and auditing purposes

2- Technical Requirements:

A- User friendly interface.  B- Support configurable Dashboards  C- Support configurable Workflow (Approval/Rejection with feedback) by system admin

without customizations.

D- Support Microsoft Power Platform (Power App, Automate etc).  E- Ability to have additional users as system authentication for external parties.  F- System Availability and support should be 24/7.  G- Support Mobile devices.

3- Project Delivery:

Application      We focused on the structure/execution of our goal on having a new system. In particular, we  wanted to see if we could structure our project (e.g., time line, specific meetings, reviews, etc.) in an  effort to become more agile. We went through workshops with the supplier for how we can use the  system and teach the staff to make the process of submitting the idea so easy.      Insight    By applying the learning launch tool, our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to  test these assumptions. Additionally, we expected to more approach would improve our workflow in  encouraging the staff to think more and more of creating an innovative ideas by giving them awards  and apprecitation certificates.          Approach     Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities/tools and are at this  stage in the timeline, the learning launch is the appropriate tool.
