Thank you for covering this important topic. A few other great examples are GE’s Ecomagination, and the current Healthymagination Challenge, both powered by Brightidea software. Opening the process of solving critical issues by invovling a broader group of particiaptes to give and collaborate on ideas, has the power to solve some of the world’s toughest challenges. The more ideas, the more we collaborate and connect to tackle common problems, the better.
