Crowdsourcing involves leveraging a group of individuals to complete tasks or solve problems. It allows organizations to access talent and resources outside their walls. The crowd is made up of a variety of individuals who voluntarily perform work with little expected compensation. Crowdsourcing provides benefits like reduced costs, increased innovation, and engagement of human stakeholders. Successful crowdsourcing requires understanding who comprises the crowd, why they participate, and how tasks or contributions will be completed.
