+IdeaBox aims to further the innovative and collaborative culture within the
+Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by harnessing the intellect and
+creativity of employees stationed across the country.
+It provides an online platform for all agency employees,
+regardless of level or geography,
+to share and build ideas on how to further the agency’s mission of
+improving the financial lives of consumers,
+as well as enhance the Bureau’s operations.
+The staff leading IdeaBox reviews the ideas for impact and feasibility,
+incubates the best ones into action plans,
+and navigates them through decision-making channels for possible implementation.
+
+IdeaBox was developed by the CFPB and is integrated into
+its open source intranet platform, Collab.
+Similar to other ideation platforms, IdeaBox allows users to
+share, like, tag, and comment on ideas.
+Users can also sort ideas by most liked, recently added, and trending,
+which is determined by recent likes or comments.
+Since launching nine months ago, the program has crowdsourced over 100 diverse
+ideas and incubated a range of solutions at varying levels of complexity.
+
