As more and more company becomes more reliant on the public information to contribute ideas, crowdsourcing has become a very real and important business idea. The basic idea of crowdsourcing is to tap into the collective intelligence of the public at large to complete business-related tasks that a company would normally either perform itself or outsource to a third-party provider. Whether it is to get ideas for a new business idea, a new product or the design of the next laptop memory, crowdsourcing has become a source of innovation.
Consider Cambrian House, an organization that focuses on developing companies that emerged from their crowdsourced discoveries. Their portfolio includes Gwabs™, Greedy or Needy™, FilmRiot™ and the Chaordix™ crowdsourcing platform. So the next time you hit a road block, try crowdsourcing.
