The Crowd’s Reach: Unlocking the Power of Open Innovation with Steve Rader
Descripción del Episodio
Today, we sit down with Steve Rader, who leads NASA’s efforts to leverage crowd-based platforms for open innovation and bring value to NASA’s programs, as well as innovation efforts in the U.S. government.
Steve is also the Founder and CEO of Crowd Resources Consulting, where he speaks and consults on innovation, crowdsourcing, and the future of work.
Listen in as Steve explains how open innovation at NASA around mitigating human risks in space “came out of necessity” a little over a decade ago due to budget cuts. He speaks in particular about the often underestimated value of tapping into the power of a crowd rather than relying only on deep expertise.
Emphasizing that open innovation is “totally voluntary,” Steve shares how to best incentivize a diverse range of enthusiasts to offer their best ideas and solutions to your organization's problems when crowdsourcing challenges.
Finally, Steve discusses how future technology can leverage the power of bringing together teams of people to solve virtually any problem.
