Weber Shandwick’s Social Impact Team Introduces Conscious Crowdsourcing

Weber Shandwick’s Social Impact practice continues its deep dive into trends shaping how people and organisations affect positive social change; introducing its new Conscious Crowdsourcing report.

The Conscious Crowdsourcing report 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 mobilised global citizens into organized, efficient and transparent multi-sector efforts that advance social progress.

The fourth report in the five-part Innovation Trends Report series, Conscious Crowdsourcing illuminates how organisations 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 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.
