WaM Storming

Brainstorming is one of the most commonly used tools for the purpose of idea generation for problem solving, addressing of issues or conceptualizing new products/services. A typical brainstorming sessions is usually conducted by using an internal talent pool of about 20-25 people, either directly or indirectly involved with the problem/issue. Though this technique is very powerful in generating a large quantum of ideas in a short period of time, it suffers from the following

(a) Limited quality of due to ‘similar thinking’ people – most people have had some exposure to the problem/type of solution

(b) Talent pools usually limited because of geographical proximity issues - rarely are people from other locations asked to join a brainstorming session

(c) Outside (the organization) expertise seldom connected

(d) Ideas that are generate are often those that would have been generated in previous sessions, but not captured and recorded

Collaborative Problem Solving

Organizations in todays context have to, one deal with complex problems on and two, develop solutions to the same in the shortest possible time, on the other.  This “double whammy” effect, has multiple implications, especially on those which are having difficulties in talent management process.  The usual consequence of this is that, organizations would either take to semi-optimal solutions or expensive solutions or expend times all of which may lead to other cost and customer related issues.  But many a time, the solutions of these problems – that is optimal, cost effective and efficient solutions have been developed, elsewhere, either by peer groups or by others.  In the absence of a proper information and/or knowledge exchange process, both the organization requiring the solution and the person or group of persons having this knowledge/information cannot exchange the same. EurekaOnDemand is the first global platform that is being created for enabling crowdsourcing across the value chain of organizational problem solving process – from problem definition, to solution finding to implementation support.

EurekaOnDemand has two essential players – one the organizations (or other wise referred to as Opportunity Providers) and solution developers (or Opportunity Seekers). 

Opportunity providers are organizations which belong to various sectors – from aerospace and auto retailing to toys and travel agencies – that is they belong to both the manufacturing and service industries.  And their size also accordingly varies – there are organizations with over US $ 2.5 billion in revenues to those which have just about US $ 5 million. 

These organizations, that is big and small ones, are encountered with issues, in various areas  - manufacturing/operations, Supply Chain, Marketing, Human Resources, Production Planning, and others for which they would like quick, cost effective and also most importantly an innovative solution. It is not that these organizations cannot develop these solutions by themselves, but they would prefer not to reinvent the wheel, many a time and if possible look at solutions which would be unique.

These organizations post their problems on EurekaOnDemand and seek solutions for the same from the Opportunity Seeker. 

Opportunity Seeker are the vast community at large, including, but not limited to, practicing professionals, retired professionals, students, researchers at various institutions, users of products and others.  These are set of people, spread across the globe, who can help the opportunity providers with solutions, based on their experience, knowledge, or simply because of their creativity and originality. Thus, the individual creativity or prior experience or the collected creativity of a group of people, could help organizations in their problem addressing / opportunity exploiting process.
