When you’re done, we transform your mindmap into a document, where you will concept and assign tasks that can be easily monitored until completion. When success is reach you then have the option to hand out virtual “thank you notes” to your collaborators.

What you can use it for

Governments, Municipalities & Community Groups

Our Solution

The scope for crowdsourcing in the community is huge! From budget allocation to reducing waste, and community recreation programmes to stimulating the local economy; there’s a great number of topics that can be tackled with the help of the openideas crowdsourcing platform.

Who is using it?

  • openideas offers you a personalised platform, whereby you can communicate your campaign and then directly interact with the community. Depending on your needs, your space can be set up like a public noticeboard for ideas or even a competition. The community can vote on proposals, answer questions and post ideas and comments.
  • It’s great because the community can bounce ideas off each other and develop them easily. At the same time you can opt for a system whereby the public submits ideas, which you evaluate and work on from the inside.
  • Ideas can be harvested from any web browser, Facebook, Twitter and email and then developed using tools like WIKIs and mindmapping. Plus you can spread some positivity by awarding individual appreciations!
  • Additionally, openideas can be used internally to share ideas and improve processes. Ideas never happen in the wrong place and all your data is securely stored. What’s more, the unique ideaflow has been developed to naturally push ideas towards solutions.

NGOs, Non-Profits & Organizations

NGOs and non-profits face a great many challenges! But how to communicate to the public and to keep them engaged, has to be among the top. Also, NGOs face the same challenges as other businesses, like nurturing the latent potential within their internal talent-base. NGOs can have multi-tiered communication structures, in which it can be easy for ideas to get lost or happen in the wrong place or at the wrong time.

Our Solution

Use openideas crowdsourcing to engage the public and keep them switched on to your issues. Let openideas help you manage the wealth of ideas and information that can be generated both from within and from the outside world. It can be easily used from any browser, so it’s accessible to everyone wherever they are around the world.

Because openideas allows you to easily interact with regional campaigns, it also means it can be set up as a tool to communicate the thoughts and feedback from the people who benefit from the work your organisation does.

  • Alert and engage the public to your issues Use openideas crowdsourcing to interactively communicate. Keep people engaged by being in a constant dialogue with them, where they can share their thoughts and feel like they are making a contribution. So many people already use the most popular social media platforms, so it’s convenient because they can login into openideas via them. This means you can incorporate openideas crowdsourcing into your online social media campaigns.
  • Empower employees and tap into great ideas NGOs and non-profits are full of interested and engaged employees that have intelligent insights into the organisation. openideas gives employees space to develop, and the organisation a platform to tap into these ideas and evaluate them in a straight forward way.
  • Flattern hierarchy and simplify communication openideas can be customised to fit your organisations specific needs. So for example, it can be used as both an internal and external idea management and communication system at the same time. For instance, if your headquarters are in London, but you have projects all around the world, openideas is a perfect way to develop concepts and ideas that are used in one region and then can be adapted to others. The administration couldn’t be easier, so it’s possible to limit contributors on a project depending on relevance. And the unique ideaflow naturally pushes ideas towards solutions.
