The document discusses using ideas from crowdsourcing to inform work. It recommends absorbing ideas without judgment and mapping them to find a core foundation. This mindmap can then be used to create a product that demonstrates the ideas. Crowdsourcing can gather broad information, so rules are needed to focus it for a goal, but the rules should not limit conclusions. The work and crowdsourcing blocks should blend complementarily to produce a cohesive result.
3. Further Explanation
• Absorb ideas like a sponge, meaning no
rejection, prejudice, or questioning. Just open
yourself and let the ideas flow into you
• Mindmap is a way to crop out the
commonness of the ideas received so that we
have a foundation to implement through
work. This could function like the game,
specifically the selecting, limiting, and
blending the ideas into a concrete core.
4. Further Explanation #2
• Use work as a vehicle to implement the ideas
means to create a product that demonstrate
and fulfill the intent, specification, and the
meaning of the mindmap. This is similar to the
user interface and its background problem.
• When the product is finished, start new or
keep refining the existing product.
7. Further Explanation
• The tool to gather information can be
anything though an obvious choice would be a
computer as it has the existing connection to
get the data.
• The word “Crowdsourcing” in this case, could
view as a giant brainstorming web, where
people in such a network works
independently but all are somehow working
towards the same goal.
8. Further Explanation #2
• There must be rules, parameters, or
conditions be set for the crowdsourcing
engine, otherwise, the data that we gather is
too broad/abstract for our own use.
• However, such rules should not limit the
results/conclusion anyway.
• That also applies to the blending process
between the work block and the
crowdsourcing result block.
9. Further Explanation #3
• The work block describes the real world
scenario, or the situation where the results
from the crowdsourcing applies.
• The product is the results of such blending
process.
• The aim of the blending process is to allow
both blocks to complement and support each
other in a cohesive manner.
