Innovation Idea Submission Experience Survey

Thanks for submitting an idea to (Replace with your innovation program name)! We'd love to hear how the submission process went for you — this takes about 5 minutes and helps us make it easier for the next person with a good idea. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized.

Overall, how easy was it to actually submit your idea (finding the form, understanding what to fill in, completing it)?

How clear were the instructions on what makes a strong submission (what to include, level of detail expected)?

How much do you agree with each statement about your submission experience?

Reconstruct the specific problem or opportunity behind this respondent's idea — what triggered it and who else it affects — and identify the single biggest moment of friction or hesitation during submission (a confusing field, uncertainty about ownership/credit, fear of a bad reaction, technical glitch, etc.). If they say the process was smooth, probe whether they almost didn't submit at all and what changed their mind. If they mention a past idea that went nowhere, ask what feedback loop they expected but didn't get.
