Within the ideablender™ platform there are various types of challenges: one-stage, 'Rapid Design' challenges for quick ideation; Complex 'Multistage' challenges to flush out comprehensive strategies; 'Concept' challenges open to the public; by-invitation-only 'Private' challenges; and about a dozen other variations in-between. Organizations have particular needs so we avoid a one-size-fits-all model and add flexibility into the platform by including custom scoring, real-time feedback on responses, team rooms, and even project-specific forums.

Challenges can be used to find new ideas, search for a trusted advisor, and/or validate a direction or strategy. The ideablender™ challenge platform truly changes how organizations cultivate ideas and has proven to be a powerful tool for organizations understanding the global marketplace of tomorrow's business.
