14. iDEA WONKs Can Help YOU
Leverage the Power of the Crowd:
 Crowdsourcing strategy: Not all tools are created equally. Often organizations choose a tool
based on the features and the sales pitch only to find out later they didn’t need them,
overpaid or their community requires a simpler approach. We help you select the best
platform that fits your corporate culture, strategy, challenge and the requirements of your
teams implementing great ideas.
 Awareness and Engagement: Crowdsourcing is great in theory but not always in practice
when the crowd is invisible. We target and create practical public or employee outreach
campaigns with the right tools and tactics your communities care about.
 Virtual Leadership and Expert Roundtable Events: Sometimes the crowd is burned out or the
same ideas are on repeat! We help build and sustain critical mass engagement by integrating
virtual leadership and expert roundtables that re-energize crowd participation and refresh the
ideation process.
