I have to say this about that....there is no substitute for the power of many minds moving toward the same desired outcome. Quite simply, it's called crowd-sourcing. If there is a single business out there that is not thinking about how to use the crowd to reach higher, strive further, get ahead, then, well...you are wasting time and money. It can be a simple concept, or, as I have found trying to find simple articles on crowd-sourcing and their benefits, it can be quite complicated!
All it is, really, is the recognition that there is more than one person who loves the same things that you do and who, working in tandem, could help you get where you want to go faster. If I was a new owner of any business, I would imediately be seeking out others in the same business to work together to solve problems, find solutions and expand that business.
Or, expressed differently, I will ask a question: Faced with a challenge at work, do you try solve the question alone or do you solicit help and input from others you know who have either an interest in these areas or experience in same? That's a form of crowd-sourcing. So is the most amazing up-to-date encyclopedia in the world, Wikipedia.
It simply doesn't make sense not to go out and get input. Tap into people's interests and passions. Use them as a source of insight and inspiration. Build your community.
And, ultimately, get ahead...faster.
Very soon I am going to set up just such a crowd-sourced task force. I can't wait to see the amazing results to build strategies, answer questions, face challenges head on, and achieve incredible results from our efforts. It's energizing and it's fun.
You should try it sometime!
