Introducing the Crowd Innovation Journey: Six Phases of Collaborative Economy Program Development

The Collaborative Economy is moving fast. How can you keep up and find your path?

Catalyst Companies members are consistently working to understand the disruption of the Collaborative Economy to their business models, and how their organizations can best take advantage of the surrounding opportunities. It’s tough to digest all of the information out there on sharing, crowdsourcing, on-demand services, and related start-ups, and it’s even more difficult to choose a place to begin program development!

That’s where the Crowd Innovation Journey comes in. Catalyst Companies has developed a framework, and complementary resources, for its members to utilize as they mature in their Collaborative Economy involvement:

Maturing through the journey is an iterative and often cyclical process. Within our “Resource Vault,” members also have exclusive access to data, step-by-step case examples, expert presentations, frameworks, and more, to assist them in making the case internally, planning initiatives, testing prototypes, and running programs. We pose key questions to answer in each phase, as well as provide completion criteria to advance in the journey.

Our goal with unveiling the Crowd Innovation Journey and resources to members is to help them clarify their path in order to more efficiently harness the right market opportunities.
