Crowdicity

Crowdicity is an idea management platform that lets organisations run challenges and collect ideas from large groups of people. Participants submit ideas, discuss them and vote, and organisers then review and pick the ones worth acting on. The listing is written from the stored product description, because the web address now leads to Medallia's site.

What Crowdicity offers

• Employee innovation — an internal idea platform to build a culture of innovation among staff.
• Open innovation and crowdsourcing — gathering ideas and insight from an outside crowd.
• Partner and customer collaboration — working on ideas with suppliers, partners and customers.
• Innovation competitions and hackathons — event-based challenges with prizes.
