the power of the crowd

some facts  crowd (people) has power and wisdom  70% of a decision for a product or procedure is made from what others are saying (so we must get involved)  participatory governance is an emerging method in public and private sector  crowdsourcing techniques is a distributed problem- solving and production model  these methods can solve problems and promote solutions

scope  we use internet technologies to get the crowd involved  study the problem, design the procedure, implement the solution, educate people and involvers  design new implementations and scenarios  two sectors for application  public governance: check parties, formulate policies, non- government actions, monitor governments work  private sector: problem solving, corporate governance, new products, company ethics code etc

public governance  restore the relationship between people and power  participation of the crowd to shape policies  control the implementation of the mandate  governments, local authorities, municipalities, special state services etc

private sector  proposals, comments, remarks etc for the corporate governance and the internal procedures of an organization / company  new products and services  feedback for products and services  build audience – we listen to our clients, we pay attention on their remarks, we improve our products  get involved in the discussions for products and services
