About

Crowd Forum is a social network and wiki where people who share an interest in crowdsourcing and open innovation can share ideas and learn about this emerging phenomenon. Crowd Forum was created by the founders of Microengagement, a consulting practice that helps companies leverage the power of their business/brand constituents "the crowd" to develop products, accurately predict environmental, product, and sales outcomes and create new levels of customer intimacy by involving customers in the business processes.

What is Crowdsourcing?

Our view of crowdsourcing is: "A growing phenomon that describes the process of gathering groups of people together and using their untapped knowledge to create something of value."

Crowd Forum Serves Three Primary Audiences:

1. Business leaders who are looking to improve their results through crowdsourcing and share what they have learned with others.

2. Researchers, the media and general public who can use Crowd Forum as an educational tool.

3. Crowdsourcing practitioners and consultants who share tools & techniques and network with each other.
