Weber Shandwick’s Social Impact Team Introduces Fourth Innovation Trends Report on Conscious Crowdsourcing
Weber Shandwick’s Social Impact practice, an award-winning global team that builds engagement strategies for purpose-driven organizations, continues its deep dive into trends that are shaping how people and organizations affect positive social change, introducing its new Conscious Crowdsourcing report.
This fourth report in the five-part Innovation Trends Report series illuminates how organizations can strategically engage, equip and empower change-makers, researchers, policymakers and global citizens to raise awareness of and co-create solutions to pressing issues from climate change to poverty to global health and beyond.
In addition to analysis and insights, the report provides a roadmap and action plan to guide Conscious Crowdsourcing efforts.
The Conscious Crowdsourcing report also explores recent social movements – from the Arab Spring to the global Women’s March – and offers perspective on the opportunity to channel the passion, ideas and actions of mobilized global citizens into organized, efficient and transparent multi-sector efforts that advance social progress.
The team created the Innovation Trends Report resource to build awareness and fuel dialogue around the fast growing Solution Economy – multi-disciplinary and collaborative efforts by companies,foundations, nonprofits, governments and individuals to solve complex social problems.
