Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing work environments, human resources personnel or managers face the burden of manually reminding employees to provide feedback, often sending repeated emails regardless of whether recipients have already given feedback, and struggle to create aesthetically appealing feedback messages without excessive effort.
Innovation Solution
A computer-based system that tracks messages within a channel, generates reminders for users to send feedback, suggests message templates, and allows users to customize and send feedback messages, including options for virtual currency rewards, while computing statistics and displaying leaderboards to encourage participation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If managers manually send repeated emails to remind employees to provide feedback, then feedback reminders are delivered, but the workload and time consumption for managers increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically tracking which employees have received feedback and which have not, then autonomously sending targeted reminders without requiring manager intervention. The system serves itself by managing the entire reminder workflow, from tracking feedback status to delivering personalized reminders, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual email process while ensuring reliable reminder delivery.
2Measurement precision
If managers track which employees have already provided feedback, then reminder accuracy improves, but the complexity of the tracking process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements continuous feedback loops by automatically monitoring feedback submission status and using this information to dynamically adjust reminder sending. The tracking mechanism is simplified through automated data capture from the feedback platform itself, which provides real-time status updates on who has given and received feedback. This feedback-driven approach ensures high targeting accuracy while keeping the tracking process simple and automatic.
3Adaptability or versatility
If employees create feedback messages from scratch, then message personalization is achieved, but the effort and time required to create feedback increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by providing pre-crafted feedback message templates that employees can select and customize. These templates are prepared in advance with appropriate structures and language, allowing employees to quickly personalize feedback by simply filling in specific details rather than creating messages from scratch. This approach maintains high personalization quality while dramatically reducing the effort and time required for feedback creation.
4Ease of operation
If simple text feedback messages are used, then ease of creation is maintained, but aesthetic appeal and engagement are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves multi-functionality by combining simple text templates with enhanced formatting options, emojis, and visual elements within a unified feedback message structure. Employees can start with simple text templates for ease of creation, then optionally enhance their messages with additional elements to improve aesthetic appeal and engagement. This universal approach allows the same platform to accommodate both simple and enhanced feedback messages, maintaining simplicity while enabling engagement enhancement when desired.

AI summary
A system or method for implementing a computer-based channel for messaging feedback among users of the channel. The system tracks messages sent to and from the users of the channel, and generates and displays to a first user of the channel a reminder to send feedback to a second user of the channel based on the messages tracked between users of the channel. Responsive to the first user activating an interactive element of the reminder, the system suggests and displays a plurality of message templates for the feedback. Responsive to receiving from the first user a selection of one of the message templates and a text entry for the selected message template, the system generates a feedback message based on the selected message template and the text entered by the first user, and sends the feedback message from the first user to the second user.
