If you can attract “the best, uniquely qualified minds in the world” you can accomplish almost anything. The trick seems to be first becoming *the most uniquely exceptional, collaborative resource in the world.*

Shall we start?

Great post, great thoughts on the diffence between collaboration using Crowdsourcing and Crowdcasting. I compare open innovation crowdsourcing to fishing in the open sea for ideas and solutions. Crowdcasting (also called narrowcasting) – tapping Uniquely Qualified Minds in this case – is like fishing in a stocked pond.

Denis, you’re touching a sensitive point on co-creation environment durability and synergy. I’m passionnate about this challenge for quite a while.

Besides increasing credibility and exposure of the “uniquely qualified minds”, there is two aspects to consider in term of contribution R.O.I.: Web environment’s operation revenues and asset value. Contributors should be able to become more partners of this Web environment than just cheap labor for the one(s) who initiated it.

I believe the model which will be able to adress both will attrack those “uniquely qualified minds” for a longer period of time and keep refreshing the synergy and this famous “wisdom of crowds”.

I have something in mind that I would like to test if I can find the right partners. I’ll let you know if I succeed.
