The WebSmartIdeas aims to promote and disseminate good creative ideas to improve society.

They are your eyes and ears, you don't see or hear everything that occurs in your organisation. Assuming the lines of communication are open and employees don't feel at risk of reprisal, they will talk to you about your business.

Suggestions should never be ignored; they may not be appropriate now, but in the future? Ask them where costs appear high, what expense areas could be trimmed? How much would their area of responsibility suffer if their expenses budget was cut by 10%?

You will have to see through some emotions, people will resist changes that are going to make their life a little harder. Get to the facts.

Changes that are in some way initiated by the recipient of the change, will be more readily accepted and promoted by that recipient to his/her staff.
