Your Participation Journey:
Let’s collaborate and play as one PepsiCo
In 2019, PepsiCo launched the “Next Big Idea Challenge”, an open innovation challenge. The goal: to promote team cohesion around the world and detect Talent inside of the company.
All employees were able to propose innovative and disruptive ideas, and participate as intrapreneur, expert or investor.
Though this challenge, PepsiCo proved that it was possible to bring together all the employees of a global group, and to create frugal innovation while limiting risks in the aftermath of a major global crisis.
The Next Big Idea Challenge was a real success and enabled the group to launch a new product on the market in the aftermath of the coronavirus crisis! It reduced costs and risks while bringing teams together around a challenge.
Next Big Idea (NBI) enabled us to identify so many stars across the organization and provided these cross-functional, cross- geographical teams to innovate for PepsiCo’s future. Each team innovated by Living The PepsiCo Way and had ideas to make PepsiCo faster, stronger & better. Driftwell was the winning idea in 2019, and it was brought to market in around nine months vs an average 24 months cycle, thereby making us agile.
