4. BANK OF IDEAS
For the purpose of a more transparent and unbiased assessment of innovative idea there was created the automated data base, unified for the KMG-R&M Group, covering all innovative offers, operating under direct access the so called «Bank of Ideas». It allows collecting, registration and assessing useful innovative offers of any nature, scale and complexity not only from internal employees but also from external ones: students, scientists etc. Each idea will be subject to a detailed expert assessment and will be checked for the compliance with the company’s interests. Authors of offers, which were acknowledged as innovatory and suitable for introduction, will be rewarded by one-off payment, the rate of which will correspond to calculated degree of usefulness and efficiency. You can make an application to “Bank of Ideas” .
