ideoinnille

Ideoinnille is a Finnish term used in business, design and innovation contexts to refer to the process, space, or time dedicated to generating new ideas. The allative form ideoinnille literally means "for ideation" and is used to indicate proposals or resources intended to support ideation activities, such as workshops, sessions, or dedicated time in a project schedule.

Linguistically, ideoinnille derives from ideointi (ideation) with the allative suffix -lle, common in Finnish to describe purpose or destination. In practice it appears in phrases like "ideoinnille varattu aika" (time allocated for ideation) and "ideointiprosessi" (ideation process).

In professional practice, ideoinnille is associated with collaborative creativity methods such as brainstorming, mind mapping, rapid sketching, and co-creation sessions. It serves as a planning construct to separate idea generation from evaluation and selection phases, often preceding concept development and prototyping.

Outputs from ideoinnille activities typically include a backlog of ideas, sketches or concept notes, and prioritized concepts for further development. It is used across sectors including product design, software development, marketing, and education to structure creative work.
