To all those following and supporting us at Chaordix – thank you for a great year! In just a short period of time we’ve emerged as the market leader in crowdsourcing thought leadership, proven methodologies and enabling technology! The conversations and projects we’ve had an opportunity to work on have been rewarding and inspiring to all of us here on the Chaordix team.
We continue to innovate in fostering crowd contribution of collective intelligence (wisdom) and crowd production (tasks performed by your crowd) by providing technology, crowd recruitment, moderation and crowdsourcing planning know how to clients. We’ve heard repeatedly that our vision for Crowdsourcing for the organization - whether an enterprise, non-profit, government or academic – is the right one, we believe it too. We are excited to be living out this vision with each of you.
The foundation of our belief system and what crowdsourcing affords each organization - distributed power, diversity and ingenuity – comes from the visionary founder of Visa, Dee Hock. He imagined & built an organization that could find the right balance of chaos and order.
What’s on our roadmap for 2010:
- Crowdsourcing gone multi – equipping organizations for multiple outputs (ideas, R&D answers, visuals and video) via multiple crowdsourcing models (contest, collaborative, panel led) will remain core to the value of Chaordix™ products
- The future is mobile – watch for news on our strategy in 2010
- Localization – with our recent partner announcements in the Netherlands, France, Italy – we recognize that crowdsourcing in each of these markets requires specific cultural and language knowledge. Be watching for more announcements coming in the new year including South America, Asia and Europe.
- Our very own crowdsourcing – yep, we’ve done lots of it with our inaugural community cambrianhouse.com and others, we’ll be starting more crowdsourcing communities in 2010, including our own.
What are we most proud of? The opportunity to change the world for the better – from inventive and collaborative enterprise or community, to a non-profit making an impact locally or globally, governments that are accountable & transparent with their citizens, to academic institutions that invest in new solutions for a sustainable, safe planet. All of these are examples of successful crowdsourcing and we believe every worthy organization is or will be building their very own crowdsourcing strategy in the very near future.
From all of us at Chaordix - best wishes for the holiday season!
We look forward to an exciting 2010 with all of you – our customers, partners, collaborators and followers.
Team Chaordix
