Montreal, Quebec — Planbox, the pioneering agile innovation management platform, has been selected by CAE, a global leader in simulation training and critical operations support solutions, to support CAE’s CAEimagine innovation program.
As part of its high-tech cultural evolution, CAE looks to further push an innovation mindset across the company by empowering its employees to participate in value-creation activities. Planbox’s comprehensive, flexible, and scalable platform was deployed in June 2022 to enable all CAE employees to submit their ideas through an innovation contest, and it will continue to be made accessible to CAE’s departments through various innovation challenges.
“At CAE, we want to empower our people to think differently, to envision and create alternate futures that everyone can benefit from,” said Carter Copeland, CAE’s Senior Vice President, Global Strategy. “Planbox is a tool that can support CAE’s journey towards tech empowerment, ecosystem enablement, and cultural transformation.”
Planbox offers support in English and in French, a feature which CAE found essential. Using Planbox’s top-ranked platform for innovation management, CAE departments will develop a calendar of innovation events related to their business needs, enabling program leaders from all areas of the company to create challenges thanks to Planbox’s out-of-the-box templates for zero-delay launches.
As a company that has been at the forefront of innovation for 75 years, CAE also expects to use Planbox to launch challenges that address the technological opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the goals of which are to bring the digital and physical worlds closer together and to continue delivering the highest fidelity flight and mission simulators, surgical manikins and personalized training programs powered by AI.
