Question 1

How do I get started with PGI? Does it take long to submit and review ideas?

Accepted Answer

One option is to simply sign up and start with the new idea workflow. This is the fastest way for your employees to get started with PGI. Employees can use the new idea workflow to interact with AI to help quickly define their ideas and submit them to management. Management can review these ideas with the help of AI to help them understand possible issues while helping them prepare for the conversation with the employee about their idea.

Question 2

Do I need to implement peer-group meetings to get value from PGI?

Accepted Answer

PGI meetings are not required. You can implement the new idea workflow without PGI meetings because depending on where your company is with innovation, it is not recommended to start with PGI meetings. You can use the new idea workflow to get your employees started.

Question 3

How do PGI meetings work?

Accepted Answer

PGI meetings are typically every other week sessions where peer groups meet to discuss innovation concepts, share progress, and provide mutual support. Each session follows a simple but powerful framework to ensure productive discussions and actionable outcomes.

Question 4

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Most organizations should see initial positive changes within 3-6 months of implementing the PGI idea review process. Early signs often include increased employee participation and more constructive conversations around new ideas. More substantial results, such as successfully implemented innovations and measurable impact on business outcomes, typically emerge within 9-12 months. While the timeline can be influenced by factors like existing organizational culture and management-employee trust levels, maintaining consistency in both message and process helps accelerate progress. The PGI idea review process provides a structured framework that guides management in fostering innovation and engaging meaningfully with employee contributions.
