What is Crowdsourcing?
- Crowdsourcing is an invitation to all people in the crowd to create, discuss, refine and rank meaningful solutions, tasks or contributions on line
- In reality there is no crowd doing the work, rather a variety of individuals
- The aim is to get away from small group of decision makers and to be diverse and inclusive.
Why use Crowdsourcing?
- Employee Engagement: Foster a culture of innovation by implementing an employee facing idea platform.
- Open Innovation & crowdsourcing: Capture solutions and insights from an external crowd.
- Co-creation: Collaborate on solutions with suppliers, partners and customers.
