Founded in 1999, BrainBank started as an online suggestion box, later morphed into an idea management system, and then into a full-scale innovation management platform. BrainBank’s Idealink technology has been used by over 30 companies worldwide.  BrainBank, privately held, is headquartered in Dorval, Canada.

IdeaLink Sequential

It is an off-the-shelf configurable solution for organizations with a linear idea submission and collaboration workflow. Sequential offers many embedded tools for idea development, collaboration, knowledge sharing, access to expertise, and cost justification.

IdeaLink Open

It is a configurable solution for organizations that want to take advantage of an open innovation workflow. It has many of the same robust idea processing features found in Idealink Sequential, but with the added benefit of including more people in the development of the idea's front end - as well as its validation process.

IdeaLink Custom

It is a custom programming solution that is tailored to meet the global organizations demand.  It is typically opted for by larger clients that have complex and large-scale operations that span geographies, nationalities, cultures, business units, international time zones, international currencies and international languages.

Ideablitz

BrainBank provides organizations with a short-term episodic idea & innovation campaign. It is an initiative with a compressed time span that creates a sense of urgency for idea submission and collaboration. This is followed by an equally brief idea processing and implementation schedule, to enable organizations to run with only those proposals that pack the right value.

Ideaswarm

BrainBank organizes idea scrums that leverage group dynamics, cross-functional expertise, and the intensity of immediacy to generate, collaborate, and accelerate ideas through the innovation process.
