IDEATION is a key component to any successful business. Companies such as Google allow employees to spend as much as 20% of their work hours thinking and coming up with new ideas that excite them and also solve a very real problem. This focus on IDEATION allows companies to become or remain innovative, increasing the chances for new products, customer acquisition and increased financial performance.

About PRESTO
PRESTO's original prototype was first launched as a stand-alone tool
by a group of Italian business professionals in collaboration with a
local university within a multinational financial organisation who had
acquired the complete back-office depository bank servicing arm of
an Italian industry leader. The opportunity to build PRESTO presented
itself during the restructuring phase of the two organisations when the
vast differences between their managerial cultures, operational
know-how, language barriers and their business operating models
indicated a strong need to implement Lean methodologies into the
DNA of the new organisation.
While using PRESTO, the integration team together with Human
Resources, Risk and IT were able to successfully map customer and
client journeys, catalogue, measure and benchmark business
processes, standardise best practices and its terminology, become
more transparent and communicate change more effectively to
their supporting global shared service centres of excellence.
Since its launch, PRESTO has been further developed to include
additional idea cultivation features offered at a corporate-wide level
and has become a true instrument of organic innovation
