ARENA™: Tap into the uncommon wisdom of your most passionate advocates
SocialSphere's ARENA™ is a collaborative platform inspired by the lessons of crowd sourcing, “Wikinomics,” and the messy, yet effective, republican form of government. First, we solicit ideas from the "many" -- depending upon the project, this phase can involve large or small groups, but everyone registers on our custom-built platform and offers up their name, address and some information about their background -- and begins to focus on one central question.
After a few weeks of robust, facilitated discussion, we review the contributions and analytics and hand-select a working Task Force who we empower by asking them to prepare a final report and recommendations for the senior management team of our client's organization.
During the third and final phase of our work, we connect the Task Force directly with our client, the decision maker in a seat of authority, to allow them to hear suggestions for improvements or innovations from their new community of advisors.
From CEOs to Governors to U.S. Cabinet Secretaries -- every one of these meetings has been an eye-opening and profitable experience for both sides at the table.
