Smart Decisions

Accelerating growth and improving profitability begins with good ideas and ends with solid execution. Minitab Engage is the only solution specifically designed to help organizations build improvement and innovation programs, execute them with the help of problem-solving tools and proven project management methodologies, then track key performance metrics in real-time to demonstrate ROI. Foster the best ideas and encourage workforce engagement by inviting everyone in your organization to submit their ideas wherever and whenever they arise, using the fully customizable idea form. Idea forms prompt submitters to score their ideas according to criteria important to your organization, including alignment with critical business initiatives, before automatically calculating weighted benefit, effort, and risk ratings for you, giving you everything you need to evaluate and prioritize emerging innovation and improvement opportunities.

Evaluator helps you to make a structured decision when considering a variety of options against a common set of criteria. For example, selecting a vendor’s product or service based on features, cost, supply, etc. Each option is scored against the criteria, and the results for all the options can then be compared. Each criterion can be weighted based on its relative importance, to adjust its influence on the overall score. Evaluator enables a group of people to participate in the evaluation by recording their individual scores, which are consolidated into an overall scorecard for the group. The results can be viewed in various formats and presented in a report. At any point in time, a baseline can be taken of the scorecard for audit purposes. Scorecard templates can be created from existing evaluation criteria in order to quickly create a new scorecard for evaluating a new set of options based on the same criteria. Specify a weight for each criteria based on their relative importance.
