Our Company – We’ve walked in
your shoes
Our own experience led us here. Now we lead others.
The Chaordix platform came about during three years of our own crowdsourcing. Our parent company is Cambrian House which was founded in 2005 as a crowdsourcing community to discover ideas for new technology ventures. We tapped our 50,000 member crowd to identify highest-opportunity technology ventures for investment and development.
We gathered more than 7000 ideas and used crowdsourcing techniques like voting, contest, forums and plenty of collaboration between diverse people to filter forward the innovations most worthy of becoming real businesses. We observed how people used the technology and incorporated that insight and reams of feedback to make it better.
Out of our experience came the Chaordix crowdsourcing platform and the knowledge to direct enterprises on effectively tapping their crowd.
What’s in your name? Chaordix – that’s quite the handle!
The founder of VISA Dee Hock wrote a book One from Many: VISA and the Rise of the Chaordic Organization. In the book, Mr. Hock declares that new market winners will synthesize chaos and order. We agree! And we believe that adopting crowdsourcing as a new mode of innovation and production is a core means of becoming a chaordic organization. And so chaos + order is the root of our name.
If you’re looking for another bit of trivia - Mr. Hock came up with the name Visa because he found the term was instantly recognizable in many languages and countries.
How do you say Chaordix? "Kay-or-dix"… now ya know!
