Cloudsourcing Brings Next Generation Crowdsourcing to Outsourcing
Great proponents of crowd sourcing such as Clay Shirky author of the book “Here comes everybody”, believe that diversity of team background results in greater creativity and better products as attested by development of products like Mozilla (Fire Fox browser) who has give MS IE a nice run.
The hesitation around more companies adopting crowd sourcing is primarily driven around lack of accountability when it comes to project deadline. That¹s why Cloudsourcing can address those concerns. Cloudsourcing or next generation crowdsourcing is to leverage a diverse team of people with the right expertise to work on projects, but with two elements added:
- A team lead that has overall accountability for the quality of the work and the delivery timeline
- A time commitment from the crowdsource team to each deliver their piece of the task in a specific time frame
