Seeking Wisdom Of The Crowd: Innovation And Trust-Building In A Pandemic
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies have been used creatively to solve coronavirus-related problems in many parts of the world. Combining the efficient management of traditional, top-down processes with the advantages of bottom-up innovation and inventiveness, crowdsourcing (the open call for ideas, innovation and solutions) illustrates technology’s capacity as an enabler for collective efforts.
Effectively harnessing of the wisdom of the crowd makes efficient use of the digital space’s dispersed communication style by allowing social media participants to play the dominant role. In this podcast, Jennifer Yang Hui, Associate Research Fellow at the Centre of Excellence for National Security at RSIS, shares how crowdsourcing can play a crucial role in the pandemic.
