    Shock Tank is a new competition inspired by ‘Shark Tank’, which encourages employees to come up with bold

    solutions to complex challenges facing our students, employees & organization, or community. We welcome all
    employees to partner with our long-time dedication to innovation and driving change.

    JUDGING RUBRIC

    Application Process:

    All WSU Tech employees have been invited to submit their bold solutions through an initial application
    process. These ideas then swim through the Shock Tank in a multi-round selection process:

    Round 1 | Open Application Process | The Shock Tank team will judge all submitted ideas and will select the
    top ideas (up to 10) to move to Round Two.

    Round 2 | Top Ten | The top ten groups will work alongside the Shock Tank team to polish their ideas in
    preparation to present to the WSU Tech leadership team. The WSU Tech leadership team will select (up to 5)
    and advance to the third and final selection round.

    Final Round | Final Selection | Finalists will be assigned to a Shock Tank mentor to prepare for their final idea
    pitch. The finalists will present to a group of community and industry partners. One idea will be selected as
    the winner.

    Action Round | Implementation | Congratulations Shock Tank winner! Now the real work starts as you
    transform your ideas into reality. This phase could last up to two years with regular progress meetings.

    Competencies & Eligibility:

    • Does it align with the WSU Tech strategic plan?


    • Is it innovative and forward-thinking?
    • Is it student success and retention driven?
    • Does it offer improvement to these 3 main groups: our students, our employees & organization, & our
    community?
    • Will it be financially feasible and do you have the ability to show detail on cost (as close as
    • possible)?
    • Does it benefit the college as a whole? (It can be an idea that benefits one department directly but
    must show how it indirectly helps other departments or individuals.)
    • Are you able to lead implementation and provide follow-up? (You don’t have to do it alone but can
    • you or your submitting team own the idea?)
    • Are you able to identify the champions and stakeholders?
    • Can you identify what possible challenges there are and how to overcome them?
    • After the initial 2 years of funding can you show how it can fund itself beyond that?
    Shock Tank Project Method of Evaluation: Rubric & Categories Defined

    Scoring categories:

    Financial Feasibility:
