3. “Ask yourself not what the crowd can do for you,
but what you can do for the Crowd.”
4. According to Wikipedia
"Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks,
traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an
undefined, large group of people or community (a crowd),
through an open call."
5. Open call

Forms of crowdsourcing

6. Crowd Wisdom
“Given the right set of conditions the crowd will almost always
outperform any number of employees"
10. Crowd pleasers
Give them a platform on which they can show their expertise.
Are you a crowd pleaser?
How do you please your crowd?
How does your crowd work for you?
