When running an internal crowdsourcing campaign, how do you know when you’ve hit “enough” ideas? I guess, is there a good metric to use to gauge when you should start evaluating the ideas?
Internal crowdsourcing campaign refers to any campaign that take place within the internal dimensions of the organisation where the creation of various ideas are being asked by the employees to present their innovative creations and idealtic ideas which firm can use to produce.
Basically, a research analysis is done in the organisation where more often a survey or questionnaire is provided to be filled by the employees of the organisation regarding the generation of the ideas. After the papers have been submitted, a team of reviewers or the the smart managerial softwares are used to check those generation of ideas. An organisation get to knows that the ideas collected by it is enough when it finds a suitable solution for the problem he was looking for in 5-6 alternatives. When these alternatives are effectively found, the task of generating more ideas is usually stopped and the evaluation among these alternatives starts. Too much ideas could create a problem and not too much could create a one! Thus, an optimal number of ideas should be generated within the internal crowdsourcing session.
