Our Story
The Origin of Ideas-Shared
A Journey from Real-World Success to Scalable Innovation
We know. We’ve been there. Having an idea is one thing—turning it into reality is another. Without the right structure, network, or execution process, ideas remain just that—ideas. Ideas-Shared was born to change that.
Ivar Ingimarsson
Ideas-Shared was not born from abstract theory or academic speculation. It emerged from a lifetime of practical experience, hard-won lessons, and the conviction that collaboration and structured action can transform ideas into real-world outcomes.
The story begins with a simple yet profound moment: a man named Ivar Ingimarsson shared an idea with me, Bob Thompson.
He knew he couldn’t act on it himself, but he recognised its potential. He trusted me with his idea, even though we barely knew each other.
That single act of trust sparked a journey that ultimately led to the creation of Ideas-Shared.
Today, we’ve scaled that simple model of trust and collaboration for individuals and organisations worldwide.

Practical Foundations: Lessons from Real-World Success
The roots of Ideas-Shared run deep into my personal and professional journey. Before building this platform, I was deeply involved in delivering high-impact, complex solutions that brought tangible results:
The 7-Step Process: Turning Ideas into Outcomes
Drawing from these experiences, I developed Ideas-Shared, the platform, and our 7-Step Process—a structured, repeatable methodology designed to guide individuals and organisations from idea or activity inception to tangible outcomes. This process isn’t theoretical; it’s rooted in real-world practices that have delivered millions in value across sectors.
That’s why Ideas-Shared comprises a suite of tools that simplify collaboration, streamline progress, and ensure that ideas don’t just remain ideas—they evolve into actionable projects, successful initiatives, and meaningful achievements.
Scaling the Model: From One Idea to Global Impact
The simplicity of Ivar’s vision is now a scalable, universal model for anyone, anywhere, with any ambition. We’ve built a platform that enables people with ideas to find the right collaborators, apply proven methodologies, and achieve results together.
Our 12 core ambition types offer a clear, practical path for every step of the journey—from initial ideation to successful implementation. And our community is united by a shared mindset: the belief that ideas, when nurtured through trust, structure, and action, can change the world.
A Universal Solution for Every Situation
Originally, we created Ideas-Shared as a global platform for developing ideas. But as we grew, we recognised a broader need: people everywhere face frustrations, problems, and challenges they need help overcoming. So we expanded our vision to build a universal solution—a one-stop shop for every eventuality and situation where people need help.
Whether it’s developing a new idea, overcoming a frustration, or solving a complex problem, Ideas-Shared provides the tools and methodologies to ask for help, get help, and take structured activity that leads to desired outcomes. Our standard operating model is proven and now available for pennies on the pound—an accessible, scalable platform for billions of people to benefit from, across countless millions of activities.
Looking Ahead: Your Story, Our Story, A Shared Mission
Ideas-Shared is more than a platform; it’s a foundation movement fuelled by collaboration, trust, and the pursuit of meaningful outcomes to change and improve our world.
