Online crowdsourcing is the new democracy. Everybody can have their say and all opinions and ideas are considered on their own merits - regardless of seniority, country, gender or department.

5. Some guidelines for being a great participant
© 2013 Neil Gaught & Associates Ltd
• SINGLE IDEAS: If you combine two
thoughts then the others won’t be
sure how to score what you have said
so it’s best to express yourself one
idea at a time.
• EASY DOES IT. There’s no rush - the
average participant only makes a
comment once every 5 minutes
• SPEAK FREELY: Avoid offensive
remarks but please speak your mind.
The more honest you are, the more
valuable your input.
• YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT:
There are no right and wrong
answers. Your opinion is valid as
your opinion.
• CRAZY? Likewise there are no crazy
ideas. If you are in a co-creation
discussion your “crazy” idea might
just prompt someone else to think of
something brilliant. You set up the
goal and that’s an important
contribution.
• FEEDBACK: Remember to score the
other comments on your screen. If it
doesn’t make sense to you or seems
irrelevant you can score it in the
middle, otherwise feel free to score
as harshly or as generously as you
see fit.
