As ever more companies encourage employees to innovate, a surplus of ideas has become reality in many organizations – often exceeding the available resources to execute them. Building on insights from a literature review and a 3-year collaboration with a banking software provider, the paper suggests a Digital Idea Screening Cockpit (DISC) to address this challenge. Following a design science research approach, it suggests a prescriptive design theory that provides practitioner-oriented guidance for implementing a DISC. The study shows that, in order to facilitate the assessment, selection, and tracking of ideas for different stakeholders, such a system needs to play a dual role: It needs to structure decision criteria and at the same be flexible to allow for creative expression. Moreover, the paper makes a case for scenario-based design theorizing by developing design knowledge via scenarios.

基于场景的设计理论

随着越来越多的公司鼓励员工创新，在许多组织中，想法过剩已成为现实——往往超出了执行它们的可用资源。基于文献综述和与银行软件提供商 3 年合作的见解，该论文建议使用数字创意筛选驾驶舱 (DISC) 来应对这一挑战。遵循设计科学研究方法，它提出了一种规范性设计理论，为实施 DISC 提供面向实践者的指导。研究表明，为了便于不同利益相关者对想法进行评估、选择和跟踪，这样的系统需要发挥双重作用：既要构建决策标准，又要灵活以允许创造性表达。而且，
