This document compares crowdsourcing and experience co-creation as two emerging concepts for sustainable innovation processes.

CHANGES IN REGULATION A. AND THE CROWD FUNDING BILL
The 3606 bill included the crowd funding bill by Senator McHenry, the 500 rule amendment on company ownership to now allow
1000 owners, Regulation A that allows you to test the waters through marketing if a business plan has legs but now you can do Reg
A for up to $50 million instead of the previous $5 million. One of the most significant changes is the Regulation D non-solicitation
removal which allows companies and entrepreneurs to advertise their need for capital against equity ownership online and via TV,
radio and other medium. Their amendment also outlines that you can only invest 5% of your revenue if you earn less than $100,000
per year versus the $10,000 max you can invest in the previous bill.

4. AMP | CRM Financial Advisor Database
In order to run smoothly, organizations often standardize processes across the organization and encourage users to adopt them.
Unfortunately, each business unit has a unique set of business processes. Employees are often unaware of these processes,
depend on co-workers for information, or are unaware that the completion of certain tasks are dependent on another employee’s
completion of the previous tasks. With a CRM technology in place these issues are solved.
Define workflow rules or create rules for automated business processes, including lead count and broker notifications, new
opportunity and Broker contact pipeline management, sales processes, management, and data transfer to news and updates.
