Customer Stories
Fujitsu
€25M+ in New Revenue
Technology
ConocoPhillips needed a better way to capture, manage, and scale improvement ideas across office and field teams. Ideas were spread across fragmented tools, making it difficult to run targeted campaigns, track progress, and connect improvements to measurable business value.
With HYPE, the team created one structured system for employee-driven innovation — launching targeted campaigns, managing thousands of initiatives, and giving teams a clear process to move ideas into action.
