San Francisco, CA July 1, 2015 – IdeaScale, the California-based innovation management solution, today announced an exclusive partnership with Innovationmanagement.se (IM), the world’s leading platform for cutting-edge innovation management content, best practices and online training programs. This announcement is part of IdeaScale’s and IM´s continued global expansion.
Both companies have long supported cities, brands, and organizations in building impactful innovation programs that foster meaningful and profitable change.

As part of this partnership, IdeaScale will now offer IM training programs to their existing or future customers and partners.
“Innovation management is an evolving practice,” says Rob Hoehn, CEO of IdeaScale. “Organizing an innovation group’s process and goals can be difficult and we’re glad to supplement our product offering with the expertise of innovation practitioners who can give custom-made structure to what is sometimes thought of as a plastic or unrigorous process.”
“IdeaScale’s platform is one of the most customizable on the market, “says Lars Percy Andersson, Founding Partner at IM “and we want to help practitioners build innovation skills that suit their goals across disciplines, whether it’s regarding brainstorming, prototyping, product lifecycle management, portfolio management, or otherwise.”
Although IdeaScale is a global company that has long-served numerous clients in Europe, it will now also have a permanent presence in Sweden through IM. IM will continue to serve clients worldwide.
