Right team, right problem

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

‘Wildcard’ is a novel algorithm that identifies and connects individuals who show a high probability of meaningfully contributing to unrelated problems. By considering discussion input and interactions that facilitate and seed further conversation, an environment will exist that allows Wildcard to predict groups of individuals (teams) whose synergistic interactions are likely to lead to better insight generation. The algorithm is scalable and applicable to other matchmaking industries where the alignment of unconnected pairings provides a competitive advantage.


Surface sentiment

Sentiment analysis (or opinion mining) is a natural language processing technique used to determine whether data is positive, negative or neutral. Sentiment analysis is often performed on textual data to help businesses monitor brand and product sentiment in customer feedback, and understand customer needs.

1/ Be curious

Ask

It all begins with ‘why’.

Perhaps you want to launch a business, a public policy or a rocket to Mars.

Perhaps you’re looking for a new perspective in your field of expertise, or maybe you’re a pillar of wisdom looking to give back to society.

Whatever it is, tapping into you team and/or broader community can help you see the bigger picture or raise an important detail – it may even surface a surprising idea.

1.1 Ask your question

Keep it interesting and succinct – make it catchy for those who only read headlines.

You can also add another sentence (or two) to clarify your question.

1.2 Tell your story

Why is this important to you?
What outcomes are you hoping for?

A community rallies around a cause – give them something to care about.

1.3 Provide context

Bring everyone up to speed – set the scene, provide the focus and lay down the rules.

Some questions require more information to frame the discussion’s scope, help clarify expectations and set the rules of engagement.

This step is optional.

2/ Be brave

Discuss

It takes courage to give your thoughts a voice.

The quickened news cycle and the roar of social media does little to foster discussion, let alone nuanced conversations fill with greys and blurred moral boundaries.

The world needs spaces where considered reasoning is the expectation while also allowing for a breadth of voices to be heard.

It may take a village to raise a child, but it only takes one screaming child to wake a village.

A single voice has power. A chorus brings change.

What is collective intelligence?

2.1 Add your voice

A topic is the start – it’s a point to be made, a new perspective, or an emphasized detail.

The title is the essence of the point you are making.

From there, argue for your point of view, provide detail and give it context.

2.2 Your reply

Express your point of view through a comment or show your support with a like.

Discussions are a series of topics.

Each topic is a list of comments.

2.3 Incognito

For discussions where the host allows*, topics and comments can be made without revealing your identity.

The Incogntio mode is valuable in certain environments where contributing comments may lead to unintended consequences.

*Incognito is available only to Premium members

3/ Be discerning

Ideate

“To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.”

A crowd will resonate with similar key points across the sprectrum of voices.

By acknowledging these and using them as launch pads to further explore their motiviations or behaviours, we will move closer to understanding them.

And through their priorisation, we will have a plan of action.

The Double Diamond: A framework for innovation

3.1 Highlight

Select text that is relevant, interesting or insightful – the highlighted text can be saved to category or shared via Twitter.

Highlighting is exclusive to dicussion hosts and nominated administrators.

3.2 Collate

Highlights similar in theme are grouped in ‘categories’. Categories allow for further discussion focused on a particular theme.

3.3 Critique

The ability to explore these more narrowly-defined themes lets the discussion go deeper into understanding the crowd’s concerns, motivations and behaviours.

3.4 Vote

Gauge category resonance through 3 metrics – highlights, discussion comments, and votes.

Highlights
The number of highlights reflects what’s on peoples’ minds – it is an indicator of what is topically important to a cohort of participants.

Comments
The number of discussion comments can show the complexity of the problem and how passionate the participants are.

Votes
Each participant has only 3 votes. They can place all 3 onto one category or distribute them among many. Votes indicate what is of immediate priority.

4/ Be informed

Report

Give back before going forward.

The summary section is a template that allows you to thank your participants, link the top categories, and recognise the top contributors.

The discussion and ideation conversations will still be accessible to read.

The short format does not restrict you from writing a more detailed report.

4.1 Acknowledge and conclude

The templated summary consists of three sections:

  • Thanking your participants

  • Top insights

  • Awarding recogntion to top contributors
