Pitch Night Engages Employees to Create New Connectivity and Infotainment Ideas Borrowing from a familiar television show format, FCA’s innovation teams hosted the first Pitch Night program in June, engaging employees in creating, developing and presenting new ideas for connectivity and infotainment. More than 500 ideas were submitted with sky-is-the-limit creativity. Online voting allowed employees to whittle down the original 500 ideas to 50 for advancement to the next round. Topic-focused leadership then picked the top 14 ideas from the remaining 50. Coaches and executive sponsors were assigned to the finalists to help guide prototype development and fine-tune the “pitch” as they prepared to present their ideas to a panel of judges, including FCA’s Chief Executive Officer Mike Manley, Chief Operating Officer Mark Stewart and several members of the executive leadership team. Ultimately, the Know & Go mobile app was selected as the top winner for its originality, feasibility, viability and desirability. Since that time, Harris and Nguyen have worked with the cross-fuctional teams to bring their idea from concept to reality.
