Bigger companies are forced to do such programmes. I was working on a software tool for managing these ideas.

The problem I see here, is the software was boring, the project was boring and the users in charge are bored, too. There is hardly anyone who takes the process serious.

I'm not surprised, by IBM's decision. However, I think they waste a lot of potential by not listening properly to their employers.
