The BOGI provides a minimal set of tools and routines for the collection, introduction, selection and assessment of ideas. The BOGI is not limited to particular domains, such as IT, and can be integrated with other methodologies or existing best practices.
In many environments and teams, the wisdom and creative potential of the group is not used systematically to generate ideas on a regular basis. But the openness towards new ideas and the increase of attention towards good ideas are key ingredients for continuous progress and adaption. That's why the BOGI shall solve some issues connected to the innovation and ideation progress by providing a slim toolset to start with. The focus is led on the group's internal capabilities which needs to be unleashed.
With the help of the BOGI, teams or companies shall be empowered to start working with and on ideas in a very practical way. The BOGI provides a toolset, which furthermore can be hacked or adapted to the needs of a team / company. So there's no dogmatic view on the world behind the BOGI.
