If what you are interested in doing is finding a mechanism by which to gather, sort, and rank innovations or ideas, there are a number of software vendors that can be useful. One of my personal favorites is CrowdSound, which offers an embeddable widget for doing just that. There are many, many players in this space, and you can find a short list at: http://blogs.forrester.com/vendor_strategy/2008/12/innovation-vend.html
I work at a company called Xpree, which specializes in tapping the wisdom of the corporate crowd a little later in the game. We provide collective forecasting (prediction markets) from scenario planning onwards to demand planning, supply chain pricing, product quality, and other metrics. We use a well-incented and anonymous gamelike structure, and allow your company's employees to provide agile truth-without-consequences forecasts.
