Working in the crowd
Why Enterprise Crowdsourcing and why now?
Global markets are increasingly disrupted, the pace of change is advancing and there is pressure to do more with less.
This together with other complex factors including connectivity, new attitudes to work and Automation (Robotics, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence) is driving changes to organisational structures, ways of working and talent engagement.
The conclusion? Future workforces will be very different to those of today.
At Deloitte, we believe we can leverage Enterprise Crowdsourcing (the application of crowdsourcing concepts to a business context) and Automation to aid both us and our clients respond positively to disruption and create agile and successful future organisations.
What is it like working with the crowd?
We work in small crowds every day - our teams, where our shared goals make us collaborative and effective. But sometimes we don't have the skills or expertise needed, so we reach out to a larger crowd - our company. Here there are many competing goals and objectives, with some services dealing with high demand. As a result, we're sometimes unable to access the right skills at the right time.
Now consider the 3.4 billion internet connected population. Imagine what can be achieved by tapping in to this vast population in the right way to engage the skills we need when we need them.
Enterprise Crowdsourcing is the solution.
As people self-select into crowd communities, which are incentivised in meaningful ways, they provide a workforce that:
- Is extremely flexible and scalable
- Is available on demand
- Is outcome-focussed and highly motivated
- Has an extremely diverse skills mix
What can the crowd help with?
-
- Knowledge & Expertise
In the Knowledge and Expertise space, we gather customised crowds of experts that have particular and proven knowledge, experience or skills to apply their collective or individual intelligence to complex challenges for example:
- Benchmarking
- Scenario planning
- Expert interviewing / insight
- Country / market analysis
- Customer insight
-
- Ideation & Creativity
In the Ideation and Creativity space, we might need to find the most talented designer to help with a video or illustration, or perhaps ask communities of experts from different fields to problem-solve a complex manufacturing issue. This can be summarised as:
- Idea generation
- Content, image or video curation
- Concept development and testing
-
- People & Process
In the People and Process space, many hands make light work. From simple repetitive tasks to gathering customer experience or market data or helping to train machine learning processes.
- Data collection and enhancement
- Data management and cleanse
- Language translation
- Machine learning
-
- Technology & Data Science
In the Technology and Data Science space, we can access talented designers, developers and data scientists, exactly when we need them. Together, they bring fresh and diverse perspectives to a specific challenge like:
- UI / UX design
- Rapid prototyping
- Functional, UI & security testing
- Algorithm optimisation
- Predictive analytics
How Deloitte can help
Recognising the opportunity offered by Enterprise crowdsourcing we set up opportunities to deliver new and improved outcomes for our clients. Deloitte Pixel understands what it is like to work with the crowd and so opens up opportunities to deliver new and improved outcomes for our clients. There are hundreds of different crowd communities, which we break into four domains, as highlighted above in What can the crowd help with?
The key to success is matching the right communities with the right challenges, whilst remembering that the crowd won’t always be the right answer.
Deloitte Pixel has been running projects to understand:
- which crowd communities can best tackle different types of challenge
- the legal considerations and risks associated with more complex crowd engagements
Deloitte Pixel has also built relationships with the communities to make working with them easy.
Deloitte Pixel offers three services designed to address your different crowd needs
