Dear Sushil,
If I reply to whatever you have written in your latest, it may possibly turn into a squabble. I do not wish for that. Despite your track record of working abroad in MNCs or running start-ups for the last 14 years, you seem to have failed to read between the lines of my past posts. Quite unfortunate!
I did not pitch for my services. If at all I were to do so, why would I do it for a start-up? I have provided a specific example of a session on idea generation when an external facilitator comes on board. When an internal facilitator conducts the session, regular employees tend to treat it as "पत्नी की सौंदर्यता अब मूल्यहीन है!" (the loose English translation is "wife's beauty is no longer valued!") and do not open up themselves. Moreover, this reply was addressed to Mr. Saswata Banerjee and not to you!
Mr. Nathrao: The poster did not ask for the benefits of employee suggestions but the challenges faced in the implementation of a suggestion scheme, and that too in big companies.
Thanks,

Shri Dinesh,
Further to my above post, my post about benefits brings out problem areas.
"If response time to implement employee suggestions is quick, then more suggestions will come up."
If responses by management and practical implementation are delayed, then workers or people who give ideas become demotivated. Would a financial reward be a good idea for ideas or non-financial recognition?
Making a decision on how to record ideators is also a problem area - some suggest cash, while others suggest recognition.
I hope this clarifies.

Dear Mr. Nathrao,
I agree, I should have been quite elaborate in my background. But on second thought, if you might agree, I was just opening up a discussion specific to the challenges faced by HR in the implementation process. Me or my background was quite irrelevant, I guess, for this discussion.
Dear Mr. Dinesh,
The beauty of the internet is that you never get to appreciate the beauty of the people who post things or, rather, must say appreciate the context that is clearly presented. I think the discussion got quite diverted in a different direction.
Agreed, you have a strong point about having external/3rd party consultants come and train people. It would be nice to hear from other experts who have a different opinion on this and how they have succeeded.
