Can Contribution360 support multiple languages?
Yes, Contribution360 supports multiple languages on contribution sites. Contribution sites can be launched in any natural language, allowing users to post ideas in their own language. The AI engine in Transformation360 automatically translates these ideas and identifies key words for analysis. This ensures that all contributions are understood and analyzed, regardless of the language used. In many cases, it is recommended to allow contributions in several languages to ensure inclusivity and diverse input (one site per language). If this feature is not used, it is at least recommended to clearly state on the contribution site that people can post ideas in their own language.
Can I access the contribution site on any browser?
Yes, Transformation360 is compatible with most modern web browsers.
Can I have multiple contribution sites on one landing page?
Yes, Transformation360 allows you to have multiple contribution sites accessible from one landing page. This feature is particularly useful for internal use within an organization, where different teams or departments may have their own dedicated contribution sites. Additionally, you can set up an open contribution page that is not time-bound and allows for all kinds of input. This open page can be a valuable resource for collecting ongoing feedback, ideas, and suggestions from employees, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
Can I provide further input on clustered ideas?
Yes, you can continue to comment or refine your idea by editing it.
Can I withdraw an engagement request?
Yes, navigate to the engagement requests section and cancel your submission.
How can I customize the appearance and settings of a contribution page?
To finalize a contribution page, you should add all relevant campaign information, ensure proper formatting for readability, select and upload appropriate background images and logos, and thoroughly review the page before saving the settings. This preparation ensures that the page is ready for contributors to access and participate, with all necessary details clearly presented and easy to understand.
How can I ensure effective collaboration and contribution within a campaign?
Ensuring effective collaboration and contribution within a campaign involves several key strategies. First, it is essential to clearly define the campaign’s objectives and provide detailed instructions and guidelines. This helps contributors understand what is expected and how they can best contribute.
To stimulate ideation and participation, consider organizing Crazy 8s sessions, either through video meetings or physical workshops. In a Crazy 8s session, participants are asked to sketch eight quick ideas in eight minutes based on a specific campaign. This rapid ideation technique encourages creativity and helps generate a broad range of ideas quickly. After the session, ask participants to add their ideas to the contribution site and start commenting and ranking the ideas. This interactive approach not only engages contributors but also helps in refining and prioritizing ideas.
Regularly monitoring progress and providing feedback is crucial. Acknowledge contributions and provide constructive feedback to keep contributors motivated. Utilize platform features to cluster ideas and extract valuable insights, which helps in keeping everyone informed and engaged. By fostering a collaborative environment where contributors feel valued and motivated, you can ensure effective collaboration and meaningful contributions within the campaign.
It is strongly recommended that one campaign leader be hired per campaign and have a defined time period, like 2-4 weeks.
How can I manage contributions and track progress?
Managing contributions and tracking progress can be efficiently done using the "ideation progress dashboard" in Transformation360. This progress dashboard provides an overview of all ongoing activities and can be sorted by time, ideation and campaign.
How can I view my comments?
Go to "My Comments" in the menu on the contribution site to see and manage your comments.
How can I view my submitted ideas?
Navigate to "My Ideas" on the menu of the contribution site to view your submitted ideas.
How do I create a contribution page for a campaign in Transformation360?
To create a contribution site within Transformation360, you must be a Process Owner. Begin by navigating to the "Ideation" menu and selecting the "Contribution Site" option. Only Process Owners have the necessary permissions to perform this action.
Before setting up a contribution site, ensure that you have already created the campaigns you want to feature on the site. These campaigns are essential as they will be linked from the contribution site. Campaigns are created from an ideation site, and while they are linked to the contribution site, you do not need to have an ideation work in place to create and run contribution sites.
By carefully preparing your campaigns and understanding the linkage between ideation sites and contribution sites, you can effectively gather and manage contributions. This setup allows for a streamlined process where participants can easily submit ideas, comment, and rank contributions related to your organization’s initiatives.
How do I handle contributor management during an open registration period?
During an open registration period, it is important to monitor the contributors who register within the timeframe, send reminder emails to encourage timely registration, and manually add any remaining contributors if necessary. This approach ensures that all contributors are properly registered and have access to the campaign, reducing the workload for admins and maintaining an organized registration process.
How do I log into the contribution site?
Use the link provided by your Client Admin or Process Owner and log in with your email and password.
How do I navigate the contribution site?
Use the menu, which typically includes sections like "Submit Idea," "Campaigns," "My Ideas," and "My Comments."
How do I submit an engagement request?
Use the "Engage" button on the contribution site or linked to specific ideas.
How many campaigns should I manage per contribution site?
It is recommended to manage 3-4 campaigns per contribution site. Starting with a broad focus in the beginning can help gather a wide range of ideas. As ideas are submitted, you can refine the campaigns based on the incoming content. It is also possible to move ideas between campaigns if you decide to merge two campaigns or start a new one based on several others. This ensures that contributors do not feel their ideas are lost and helps maintain engagement and satisfaction by keeping the contribution site organized and relevant.
How should I handle copyrights and media used to create contribution sites?
When creating contribution sites, it is important to respect copyrights and ensure that any images or media used are either owned by your organization, licensed for use, or sourced from websites that offer free images, such as Unsplash (https://unsplash.com). Using high-quality, properly licensed images helps maintain the integrity of your contribution sites and avoids any legal issues related to copyright infringement. Always ensure that the media used aligns with the visual and thematic goals of your campaign.
How will I know if my engagement request is approved?
You will be notified through the contribution site or via email.
Is there a limit to the number of ideas I can submit?
No, there is no limit to the number of ideas you can submit to campaigns.
What are the registration options for contributors?
Contributors can register using several methods in Transformation360. These include self-registration at the contribution site created if the option is enabled, pre-registration by process owners, or domain-based registration using approved domains. All registrations are confirmed via email to verify authenticity and ensure secure access. These options provide flexibility while maintaining security and control over who can participate in the campaign.
What features are available for customizing a contribution page?
There are several features available for customizing a contribution page in Transformation360. You can add titles, descriptions, headers, bullet lists, background images, and logos to enhance the visual appeal and structure of the page. You can also enable or disable features such as ideation help and set the page's visibility on the landing page. Using high-quality images is essential to ensure clarity and attractiveness.
Websites like Unsplash (https://unsplash.com) offer a wide range of free images that can be used effectively, and no licence fee is needed. It is also important to consider the size and resolution of the images used, with a recommended maximum width of 1200 pixels, to ensure the page loads quickly and does not hinder user experience. These customization options help create an engaging and informative page tailored to the needs of your campaign.
What happens after I submit an engagement request?
The Client Admin or Process Owner will review and decide how to involve you further.
What happens if my idea is clustered?
It means the Process Owner or Admin has grouped your idea with similar ideas based on themes.
What is the importance of confirming registrations via email?
Confirming registrations via email is crucial for maintaining the security and authenticity of the platform. It ensures that only verified users can access and participate in campaigns, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. This step also builds trust among contributors, as they know their participation is secure and validated.
What should I do if I can’t log into the contribution site?
