what do you get when idea generation meets fund raising? Companies don't have ideas. People do.

what do you get when idea generation

meets

fund raising?

"I've created opportunity to generate fresh ideas, develop solutions and fund raise for communities & charities." Brendan O'Keefe (Founder) In the spirit of other sponsored marathon fund raising events such as MS Readathon, Spellathons and Walkathons, the ideathon enables organisations to engage a wider audience in a fund-raising campaign with a twist.

Are you having trouble hatching new ideas?

Are your stuck for new ways to move forward?

Are you tapping into the intellectual capital of your employees and customers ?

The wisdom and imagination of the crowd is easy to source in the digital age... sure go ahead and ask the experts but don't forget to ask the crowd.

Everyone has a good idea, give them an opportunity to shout it out, and tell the world. Their solution could make a real difference .

Don't forget the wisdom of the elders and The naïve experts we often call kids... .

Are you searching for a new donation drive and a point of difference amongst all the other organisations competing for funding?

Is your organisation suffering from innovation apathy ? Do you have a plan?

Do you know Where you need to go? What will get you there? How you will accomplish that?
