As a leader, start to prioritize and structure the ideas into actionable steps. As a team member, volunteer your ideas or help to get it moving. Be open to changes along the way.
As a project Manager I help the team get high level scope, schedule, and budget.
Then guide them through ranking and prioritizing.
This helps the team decide what makes sense and can actually be accomplished.
It's not that difficult it's just a matter of alignment with the department's goals.
Pick one idea and just start. Analysis paralysis causes more harm than bad execution. You can always pivot down the road if you have to, but you'll never get down the road if you don't get started.
I agree it’s just starting. If they are all good you can’t go wrong
It could be that a leader steps back and groups ideas around a larger goal/mission. The team could discuss possible prioritization of each idea or possible combination of 2-3 in one. Every team member who presented an idea usually has supporters, which would be helpful to her/him in making a premise and a tentative plan, prospectus. Therefore, a smaller team or pair may make a timetable. Small groups may reconvene in a larger group for sharing their progress and offering moral support and practical resources.
I find that bringing data to support the need for this specific research idea can be helpful. Put numbers in front of their faces to show why it makes sense to pursue the research, especially the financial impact if possible
If you have not done this ,make the principle of each idea make a slide deck like it is being presented to investors or VCs . Then have them present to the overall group ,and vote or rank the ideas. Yowill get buy and motivation to move forward.
The person who documents ideas and shares them has a lot of power. Start writing. Start sharing. Start prioritizing. Start doing. You might not get immediate results, but over the span of a career, you will be surprised at how successful you will become.
Just be sure to edit appropriately: try to limit yourself to just the key points so that they actually get read. If you write something that is too dense or too long, it won't get read, and you won't get very far. You can always follow up with more details in subsequent documents.
