crowdsourcing is the practice of engaging a ‘crowd’ or group for a common goal — often innovation, problem solving, or efficiency. it is powered by new technologies, social media and web 2. 0. crowdsourcing can take place on many different levels and across various industries. thanks to our growing connectivity, it is now easier than ever for individuals to collectively contribute — whether with ideas, time, expertise, or funds — to a project or cause. this collective mobilization is crowdsourcing .
this session will explore everything from how to frame tasks in the briefing stage, get creative professionals on board, and keep them motivated throughout a crowdsourcing project’s lifecycle .
in the september issue of pcma convene magazine. i, of course, love this article because i feature extensively in it. (and, all the photos are mine !) massive kudos to barbara for quoting me accurately and clearly conveying my crowdsourcing philosophy, perhaps the most radical approach described, that of using crowdsourcing to determine sessions
stories of brands, such as deloitte, nestle, and akzo nobel, that have employed crowdsourcing in their core activities and introduced this disruptive model to their company’s dna .
so, there you have a rich variety of the ways in which crowdsourcing is entering and affecting the world of events. which ways, if any, speak to you ?
crowdsourcing touches across all social and business interactions. it is changing the way we work, hire, research, make and market. governments are applying crowdsourcing to empower citizens and give a greater voice to the people. in science and health care, crowdsourcing can democratize problem solving and accelerate innovation. with education, it has the potential to revolutionize the system, just as crowdfunding is currently challenging traditional banking and investing processes. it’s a 21st - century mindset and approach that can be applied in many areas and many ways to :

useum is the first ever crowd - sourced art museum and its mission is to make art accessible and appealing to the average internet user. useum started from foteini’s doctorate studies at ucl and she is now serving as the company’s founder and managing director. during this talk foteini will examine the challenges the company faced utilising crowdsourcing for the arts and the lessons learned from this process, including how the company overcame issues relating to intellectual property in an image - based crowdsourcing project. the second half of the presentation will be dedicated to the combination of crowdsourcing with gamification. defined as “the use of game elements in non - gaming contexts”, gamification can be a powerful tool when applied correctly. foteini will present how gamification is being implemented for the engagement and motivation of volunteers on useum, as well as the lessons learned on how to best combine gamification with crowdsourcing .
the article continues with comments by chris bucchere about using (what he calls) crowdsourcing in a very different way from the above examples. he says “using your community to ‘spec’ work for you is an ‘evil’ way to crowdsource. ” this declaration ignores the common thread in all the above uses of the term: namely that crowdsourcing is also a win for participants because they get the sessions & formats they want. chris’s idea of using crowdsourcing seems to be about building community / brands via contests with incentives for the winners. perhaps this is an effective strategy for “anyone who wants to leverage the power of the social web to build a brand”, but it’s hardly new; advertising contests go back to at least the 1920’s (e. g. ivory soap) and it’s a stretch to relabel them crowdsourcing, even if we’re using a social media platform for them now .
next up is south by southwest’s crowdsourcing of 30% of their conference sessions. i tend to agree with jeff hurt (quoted in the convene article) that for a conference of this size, the process sxsw uses becomes a popularity contest rather than participatory crowdsourcing. this is because there’s no significant pre - selection communication between attendees and / or the folks offering the sessions, so we end up with what is basically online voting on thousands of suggestions .

finally, barbara quotes various meeting professionals’ views on crowdsourcing, around the theme of the role of the expert compared to the role of the crowd. in this section, the viewpoints expressed downplay the value of the crowd’s input. this is the crowdsourcing as a minor fad point of view. the possibility of influencing session topics and content is mentioned, but the description of crowdsourcing’s value for “entry and exit music, entertainment options, ways to green an event, reception themes, and party - venue options” implies relegating its importance to the relatively superficial. and the final two comments—”i suggest that event professionals crowdsource topics, content ideas, and suggestions – and steer clear of crowdsourcing speakers and actual sessions” and “crowds can tell you what they want…but an expert can say, ‘you are going to need to know this' ”—revert to the old worldview of novice attendees being guided by wise non - attendee experts. such a worldview ignores the reality that conference audiences invariably contain a healthy mixture of novices and veterans .
crowdsourced innovation, collective intelligence (ai + hi), and a 10x mindset is needed in order for organizations to become the engine of innovation. csw summit / / washington d. c. will bring crowdsourcing and the crowd economy to center stage .
csw summit washington d. c. will focus on the second wave of the crowd economy. in the world of hi + ai, blockchain and gammification both domestic and international industry leading professionals will share how crowdsourcing is reshaping industries and transforming organizations today .
join international leaders across enterprise, government, finance, marketing and tech at this must - attend event for an unparalleled inside look at the disruptive transformations, technological innovations, growth and market opportunities being driven by crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and the crowd economy .
barbara also interviewed sam smith, who, together with ray hansen, organized last week’s event camp twin cities (at which i ran a couple of sessions). ectc used crowdsourcing very successfully at the session design level by reaching out to the # eventprofs community, asking for suggestions for novel session formats and content, and then creating a conference program that incorporated many cutting edge ideas. one of the refreshing strengths of event camp twin cities was its overt philosophy that “we are trying new stuff here, and probably some of it won’t work. ” the result was a truly innovative conference, full of enlightening experiments (with very few failures, as it turned out) .
lincoln county, tenn. , used its cut of federal race to the top cash to create a new type of staff - development position: a teacher - evaluation director. renee pryor, one of education week ’s 2016 leaders to learn from, works with novice teachers and those who have been flagged for performance in the evaluation system to strengthen their practice. and she uses an array of tools—videos, collaborative conversations, and coaching—to make the process supportive rather than confrontational .

crowdsourcing is often seen as a coming together of large groups of people either in competition or collaboration to collectively find creative solutions to difficult issues. but often there is far more value to be found in crowds that don’t know they are crowds. large groups of people completely acting independently for a whole range [ … ]
on thursday, i presented together with one of our client partners sarah bowker from the nhs about a project called healthworks delivered in partnership with the design agency uscreates. roland and sarah described themselves as the fred astaire and ginger rogers * of crowdsourcing, which i think you’ll find from the pictures below that the resemblance is almost uncanny .
crowdsourcing is an ever evolving organism, and crowds themselves have grown to possess different personalities. some are task driven, simple and quick versus more methodical and guided. others are focused on results such as high in quality and low in fraud. they all serve a purpose, but the right crowd utilized in the right situation [ … ]
how can we engage with large groups of people - often with complex and competing needs - to effect positive change? in this session rob will talk about the barriers to innovation and, by illustrating real life stories from government, health, business and the charitable sectors, will show how these barriers can be overcome by the crowdsourcing of innovation .
adams 50’s steve sandoval—a 2016 education week leader to learn from—created an “interventionist framework” out of frustration that his district’s talented education specialists were isolated by separate certifications, regulations, and funding streams. the framework helps to “cross - pollinate” teachers of special education, english - language learners, and gifted students, to identify common strategies and target interventions for all students. the approach has helped dramatically raise student achievement in the district during a time of demographic change, and has helped make possible adams 50’s switch from traditional grade levels to a competency - based - leveling system .
the future is human - centric, all about participation and the ability to co - create via an increasingly connected world. this new way of doing things – crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, co - creation, collaboration, and open innovation – is challenging business models and workings of organizations across the board, offering an immense opportunity to rethink and reinvent conventional processes .
next, barbara asked elizabeth henderson about her ongoing work on the design of the 2011 green meeting industry council sustainable meetings conference. elizabeth is concentrating on creating crowdsourced event design teams with members drawn from a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints. this is another way to use crowdsourcing at the pre - event level that helps to avoid a groupthink mentality about a conference .
“crowds are a hit. millions of people, connected by the internet, are contributing ideas and information to projects big and small. crowdsourcing, as it is called, is helping to solve tricky problems and providing localized information. and with the right knowledge, contributing to the crowd — and using its wisdom — is easier than ever. ” - the new york times
a story about a survey research uses crowdsourcing method to collect a large amount of reliable and rich data for project prioritisation and implementation in its smart city initiative. the sharing provides you with steps and modifications of the methodology for your own projects that gain lots of rewards. the gains are lower costs, creative, nimble and replicable design, and flexible and collaborative deployment strategies .
so how can this phenomenon work for organizations? crowdsourcing as a work model, financial model, and business model are here to stay. leveraging collaborative practices and tools leads to disruptive business implications and transformative innovations. if existing enterprise are not prepared to adapt and embrace this new opportunity, they will be disrupted. knowledge and understanding of collaborative business practices will be a required skill for c - level suite executives and entrepreneurs .
the last few years have seen an exponential rise in two phenomenon – powered by rapid developments in the ict sphere – gamification and crowdsourcing – so much so that we are today at a convergence point. a critical point, as how these two developments will interact will define the progression curves of the future – will they go hand - in - hand or will they diverge again? can these be split from each other ?
technology is a crucial tool to create new opportunities and a wider perspective for students. online courses bring teachers, subjects, and experts to students who wouldn’t otherwise have access to them. but funding those technologies, determining which digital tools work best for students and how to deploy blended and online courses can be challenging. educators must be creative in their efforts to pay for and build reliable infrastructure, provide home internet access for students, and implement ed - tech programs. in this webinar, matt akin, superintendent of the piedmont city school district in alabama, and a 2016 education week leaders to learn from honoree, shares the strategies he has used to digitize his school system .
as an instructional leadership director in the tulsa, okla. , school district, julio césar contreras is redefining what it means to supervise principals. he eschews micromanaging school leaders and instead works alongside them to help them meet the goals of the district’s long - range plan and to improve teacher performance in their schools. he holds frequent meetings with principals to discuss and improve their work, visits classrooms constantly, and strategically uses data about classroom performance to help school leaders make decisions. in this webinar, contreras, a 2016 education week leaders to learn from honoree, will detail the strategies he uses to partner with principals to help them grow professionally, as well as support their work to improve teaching and learning in their schools .
nasa, netflix, and the new york city school district tackle thorny problems with a philosophy of “user - centered design, ” and a toolbox of strategies that includes crowdsourcing and hackathons. starting with the stakeholders creating an open–minded definition of a problem—like how to solve the wide gap in achievement in a math class—a “provocation” is issued, instead of a “specification. ” software developers and other problem–solvers respond with a broad range of solutions. then, schools and other stakeholders test the most promising ones for themselves. using this model, new york has :
from the trade show news network. michelle starts by saying “event organizations that crowdsource conference content are learning there is a right way and a wrong way to solicit community feedback. ” this formulation is unfortunate for two reasons. first, as we’ve seen above, there are a number of ways to approach crowdsourcing an event, and it’s simplistic to say that any of them are right or wrong. second, the article offers no evidence that any particular approach is better or worse, except for the gut instincts or opinions of the people michelle quotes .
in closing, michelle says “on the other hand, there is such a thing as giving the community so much power that they begin to make specific demands that may or may not be in keeping with the goals of the conference or the organization. ” this brings up the issue of control at events, something that i’ve written about before. in 20 years of using crowdsourcing at events i’ve never experienced a single instance where a majority of participants made unreasonable demands. on the contrary, on every occasion when something unexpected (to me) has emerged from good group process, it’s turned out to be an accurate and useful way to improve the conference .
