Sideways 6 stands out by empowering every employee to become an innovator, drawing on valuable insights from those on the front lines. Unlike traditional suggestion boxes, it ensures that ideas are not only collected but also thoroughly reviewed, developed, and put into action. This approach fosters a strong culture of continuous improvement and greatly enhances employee engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One possible drawback is that the platform's effectiveness relies greatly on the company's willingness to follow through on the ideas submitted. If there aren't sufficient resources allocated to assess and put these suggestions into practice, the platform could end up functioning like a digital suggestion box where employee input is overlooked. This, in turn, might harm morale if employees begin to feel that their contributions are not being taken seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the outset, the team at S6 have been invested in our journey and need - collaborating to ensure we get maximum value about outcome from the S6 platform.

We love the integration with Teams and ease of use, both as a front end user for submitting an Idea, but the a backend as an Administrator of the pipeline.

We've largely been able to customise the forms, flow and user experience to meet our diverse business needs, and periodically work with S6 to ensure we have an effective tool to support our cultural and performance objectives. They're always eager to collaborate and understand how they can evolve and adapt the tool to drive value and engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much...

There have been some limitations in the ease of search in the pipeline of submissions, which as we migrated a significant volume of submissions from prior platforms, has made for a slightly poorer UX.

The back end is a little "onerous" for an infrequent user / administrator of the pipeline (part of our model to have decentralised Champions manage their bucket of work), but a small challenge to navigate.

We'd love to have our hands on our engagement data (our core success measure) a bit more real-time/self-led, but the team are always timely and generous with sharing this data to support our monthly reporting, so again, a manageable "issue". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The comprehensiveness of the platform allows me as an idea manager to track the entire journey of a project. The interface is largely user-friendly, allowing for easy monitoring of data, and pulls in information from the Ignite platform seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filtering options could be improved on the platform which would be helpful where we have multiple ideas managers, or several ideas at various stages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
