Crowdsourcing allows organizations to find and work with self-selected volunteers to accomplish tasks, gather information, or gain new ideas. The end result is not just the work and insight of one person, but of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. However, project managers might wonder exactly who these “crowd workers” are. Because they choose to participate, rather than being selected by the organization, it’s easy to wonder if crowd workers are truly as qualified to weigh in on the future of

As we leave the COVID lockdown and the economy picks up steam again, I think many businesses will recognize a need for more generalists on their team. That could pose a problem since so many people have structured themselves and their careers as specialists.

Introduction. Innovation and creativity are two things that are necessary in order for teams to operate well in the workspace. Especially, when they are involved in collaboration, brainstorming, and ideation, innovation is critical to your success. You would think that innovation would falter when people transitioned to working online, and sometimes while working remotely people can feel disinterested or uninvolved in their workplace.

A camel is a horse designed by a committee. This is one of my favourite expressions about the danger of innovation in large organisations. It speaks to the sad truth that often, members of innovation teams in large organisations don’t want to shoulder the responsibility of an innovation or new idea not working out. So when discussing new ideas, everyone’s input is treated with equal importance, as is the desire to come to consensus.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
