This presentation focused on the the basics of crowdsourcing as a civic engagement platform to give citizens an opportunity to be part of the change they want to see and open government.
Updated workshop presentation as presented in Ottawa, ON on April 19th. This presentation is a guide to crowdsourcing and citizen engagement for organizations from a variety of types. Also presented was the Ideavibes Crowd Engagement Platform.
Crowdfunding is a new opportunity to engage donors and fund arts projects. It works by building a crowd on social media to support specific projects. Successful crowdfunding requires actively promoting sharable projects and building an online brand. While it takes effort to integrate into an organization, crowdfunding can tap into new donors and crowds beyond traditional supporters. Fundchange is a Canadian crowdfunding site focused on arts and cultural projects.
This presentation was from the webinar "Crowdsourcing for Product Managers" held on May 31/11. It looks at crowdsourcing as an option for product managers to help build better products, stay in tune with the market, and create stickiness with prospects and customers.
Crowdsourcing involves using an open call to a crowd of people either internal or external to an organization to provide ideas, solutions or support. It can be a viable research methodology when looking for expertise from diverse sources with limited funds or time. Examples show how companies like Dell, Quirky, Threadless, and Fiat have successfully used crowdsourcing for product development, idea generation, and research. Best practices include choosing the right crowd and incentive, monitoring content, keeping questions clear and simple, and providing follow up on crowd contributions.
This document discusses the importance of imagery and multimedia in nonprofit websites. It states that images and multimedia can stir people to action according to experts. It provides examples of nonprofit websites like World Vision that use images and videos effectively to promote donations and showcase their work. The document emphasizes that for nonprofits focused on social change, multimedia content like videos and images can make a big impact and help drive people to support and engage with the organization.

Crowdsourcing involves outsourcing tasks to a large, undefined group of people via the internet. It has existed for years in various forms like software testing but the term was coined in 2006. Common types of crowdsourcing include crowdfunding, crowdsourced designs, and crowdwisdom. The pros are that it provides a large, diverse pool of talent and knowledge at low cost. However, managing large crowds and ensuring quality can be challenges. Popular crowdsourcing sites include Freelancer, 99designs, and InnoCentive for various tasks like design, testing, and problem-solving.
Stichting Doen seeks to scale their social impact through labour (re)integration projects. A social safari team conducted research and interventions with Doen to develop a vision. They propose Doen take an active role in becoming the most inspiring foundation by launching an annual incentive-based competition called "The Doen Challenge" to spur social innovation. Doen would also adopt a social media strategy, create a knowledge sharing hub called "Doen Labs", and empower community involvement to spread their mission.

Turning Empathy into Action _ Stanford Social Innovation ReviewKate Hanisian
The Greater Cincinnati Foundation implemented design thinking to help community organizations tackle social challenges through collective impact. Design thinking focuses on developing empathy for users and engaging community members in developing solutions. The foundation partnered with Design Impact to provide training to seven community organizations. This helped groups like Partners for a Competitive Workforce understand perceptions around manufacturing and develop new strategies to engage more people in these careers. Participating organizations said design thinking improved how they develop messaging and engage partners through practices like empathic interviewing and persona development. They credit design thinking with transforming how they approach their work and make progress on social issues.
Crowdsourcing is a process that involves outsourcing tasks to a distributed group of people. This process can occur both online and offline, and the difference between crowdsourcing and ordinary outsourcing is that a task or problem is outsourced to an undefined public rather than a specific body, such as paid employees. Crowdsourcing is distributed problem solving. Your most complex business problems are broken down into microtasks and completed efficiently by an on-demand, scalable workforce. Coining the term of "crowdsourcing", Jeff Howe has also indicated some common categories of crowdsourcing that can be used effectively in the commercial world. Some of these web-based crowdsourcing efforts include crowdvoting, wisdom of the crowd, crowdfunding, microwork, and inducement prize contests. Crowd is an umbrella term for people who contribute to crowdsourcing efforts.
Crowdsourcing can be looked at as an application of the wisdom of crowds concept, in which the knowledge and talents of a group of people is leveraged to create content and solve problems.
Crowdsourcing markets are not a first-in-first-out queue. Tasks that are not completed quickly may be forgotten, buried by filters and search procedures so that workers do not see them
Some popular uses of implicit crowdsourcing are Captcha codes and ESP Game. Crowdsourcing has the potential to be a problem-solving mechanism for government and nonprofit use.

Social innovation - global shaper of the digital civil societySteliana Moraru
The discussion about social innovation is not new, but in the last few years, fueled by the development of digital tools, social media, the rise of the crowdfunding etc. it has gained broader recognition and importance, becoming an instrument of national growth and development of the civil society initiatives, in each corner of the world. The more companies, governments and nonprofits understand their role in tackling global issues, with a local impact and the importance of solving social problems, such as poverty, climate change, emissions etc., the more the relationship between these three sectors is strengthened and brings into discussion new solutions to old issues, as well as an ambitious social entrepreneurial class coupled with the emergence of high class technology and mobile technology.
The document discusses how social media is changing structures and how companies are increasingly using social media. It notes that 65% of companies plan to increase investments in social media and that 79% use social media with customers, 66% use it internally with employees, and 44% use it with suppliers and partners. The presentation emphasizes embracing change and thinking bigger with social media, that tactics follow strategy, and that everyone can be an ambassador through social media. The overall message is that social media is transforming companies and how they operate.
The document discusses eight uses of outward-facing social media for organizations: the corporate voice, targeted campaigns, engaging enthusiasts, leveraging groups and communities, rewarding loyal users, idea-sourcing from crowds, getting help from knowledgeable users, and driving traffic to events. It provides examples for each use and notes that social media focuses on enabling product co-creation, mass customer self-service, and customer communities rather than technology. It recommends starting small, dramatically lowering experience barriers, collecting user contributions, enabling community formation as an open platform, and adopting new thinking rather than old management methods for social media strategies.
Strategic planning. You know you should be doing more of it. But the way you normally do it requires lots of up-front time to do and lots of follow-up time to get buy-in. And frankly, you have trouble with the buy-in part. All that trouble, minimal follow-through.
Great strategic planning processes are lightweight and participatory. This is nice-to-have for organizations, and it's critical for networks, where you don't have the benefit of hierarchy to influence its behavior. Networks will do what they do.
In this Leadership Learning Community webinar, I describe how to do strategic planning for networks. I draw heavily from my experience leading the open strategic planning process for the Wikimedia movement, which drew over 1,000 participants and led to a movement-wide shift in focus on increasing reach and participation in developing countries. I share how you can leverage these types of processes for both your network and your organization
An association of unemployed immigrant women in Malmö, Sweden started activities in cooking, crafts, and social/health issues to help feel included. They investigated developing these activities into a business and services. A collaborative design process was used with stakeholders to build relationships and prototype early ideas through tools and processes to support developing the local project.
This document outlines a presentation on reimagining collaboration through virtual means. It discusses how today's issues require collaboration on a larger scale. It also explores how the internet and technology have enabled more open and widespread collaboration. The presentation advocates for establishing common frameworks, building trust through processes, and taking advantage of the unique aspects of virtual collaboration in order to achieve levels of collaboration previously not possible.

When citizens get involved : the power of online communities and crowdsourcingJorieke Vyncke
Thanks to our growing connectivity, it is now easier than ever for citizens to collectively contribute to a project or cause. From microtasking, over collective intelligence, to implicit crowdsourcing; the now widely available technologies and worldwide social networks have allowed for individuals to contribute their own knowledge and skills to a larger whole. But what is crowdsourcing exactly? What drives people to do it? And how is this collaboration exactly coordinated? During this talk all these points will be addressed, a lot of examples will be given, and of course we’ll discuss possible ways that crowdsourcing can be used in development and humanitarian aid.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

22. Make no mistake – your citizens want to be involved in transforming the City of today to City 2.0.
23. Where is the engagement? Where is the innovation happening?2
24. Wrap-up Quote Our commitment to openness means more than simply informing the citizens of [Ottawa] about how and what decisions are made. It means recognizing that government does not have all the answers and that public officials need to draw on what citizens know from the diversity of experiences they have had, to move our communities forward. We believe that after all, the crowd will take care of the crowd. 2
27. Crowdsourcing Defined Crowdsourcing is an engagement process whereby organizations seek input from either open or closed communities of people, either homogenous or not, to contribute ideas, solutions, or support in an open process whereby the elements of creativity, competition and campaigning are reinforced through social media to come up with more powerful ideas or solutions than could be obtained through other means. Why Bother? Organizations have a difficult time engaging with their communities to strengthen their relationship and be citizen focused. Internal or external, the community has ideas that can be harnessed that come from diverse backgrounds, experiences and education. 2
29. The Appeal 4 Crowdsourcing surfaces new perspectives Invites participation from nontraditional sources Infuses real energy into the process of generating ideas and content Empowers people when they feel their voice is being heard Technology can enable participation by disenfranchised (ie. PCs in libraries/shelters with citizen engagement campaigns) Builds engagement and relationships with new audiences
35. Example 3 – Product Development - Branded IdeaStorm was created to give a direct voice to Dell’s customers and an avenue to have online “brainstorm” sessions to allow them to share ideas and collaborate with one another and Dell. Their goal through IdeaStorm is to hear what new products or services you’d like to see Dell develop. In almost three years, IdeaStorm has crossed the 10,000 idea mark and implemented nearly 400 ideas! 6
36. Example 4: Product Development - Inventions Quirky is an all in one product development shop for inventors. 6
37. Example 5: Conference Agenda Ignite uses crowdsourcing for the source and crowd directed agenda at an upcoming event. 6
46. How Does Ideavibes Compare? Enterprise Collaboration or Idea Management Large – multi-functioning platforms for Idea Management Integrated into change management and process improvement lifecycles Middle-tier Focused Crowdsourcing Apps Purpose-built customizable apps focused on crowdsourcingand crowdfunding Departmental employee corporations Multiple crowdsourcing and crowdfunding campaigns Ad-hoc website or Social Media widgets Developed by web teams with basic functionality Functionality as opposed to business process driven 4
48. It all starts with a Question or Problem 4 Needs to be: Clear and compelling Not leading Allow for open innovation Encourage participation Allow for outliers to feel comfortable
