Crowdsourcing is defined as gathering insights from a large number of people outside an organization’s network to solve problems or explore new opportunities. By leveraging the power of crowdsourcing, businesses can turn the world into their R&D lab and deliver innovation in a more streamlined, effective, and efficient way.

However, simply posing a question to the crowd is not enough. Without a proven, repeatable process that converts crowdsourced ideas into implementable solutions, the key benefits of crowdsourcing – cheaper, faster, better innovation – are dramatically reduced or non-existent. That’s where Wazoku’s Challenge Driven Innovation® methodology shines. By providing a solid framework for crowdsourcing, the risks associated with this approach are significantly reduced.

5 Key Benefits

In our guide, you’ll discover the five key benefits of crowdsourcing that enable companies to solve problems and create awareness simultaneously, including:

1. Sourcing novel solutions from unexpected fields/people
2. Maximizing ROI while reducing risk
3. Discovering new approaches and tools to aid complex problem-solving
4. Building a community to research and promote a cause
5. Demonstrating thought leadership credentials

The guide also highlights potential barriers to crowdsourcing and provides tips on how to overcome these obstacles, such as gaining senior leadership buy-in and allocating adequate resources.

To further demonstrate the power of crowdsourcing, our guide shares real-world success stories from organizations that have utilized Wazoku’s crowdsourcing capabilities to solve long-standing problems and drive innovation:
