What's Your Bright Idea?
Great ideas and innovative solutions will move our company from good to great. Bright Ideas is an MEI program where employees can share their innovative ideas and solutions and help drive our company forward.
If you have an idea about how to improve a McDougall Energy process, customer service or ways to save the company time or money but have been too shy to share it, this is your chance. We want to hear from you! Every idea submitted will be reviewed and while they can not all be implemented, they are all valued.
What does “improve our business” mean?
As a fast-moving and innovative company, we are always looking for ways to become more efficient and effective in serving our customers. Ideas that are practical and actionable have the most potential to affect change.
Submission Tips
Here are some tips to help you structure your idea to ensure you are presenting it in a way that makes good business sense:
- Provide a short descriptive title;
- Provide an elevator pitch. This is one or two lines that create interest and help sell your idea;
- Describe who will benefit from your idea. Is it customers? Is it employees?
- Describe the benefit to the company. Will it save money? Will it make things easier for our customers? Will it help us operate more efficiently? Will it generate new revenue for the company?
- Outline any processes or procedures you’ve thought about as a means to execute your idea;
- Provide any background information or research to support your idea.
