“Here at Open Nation, I’ve met so many cool people and I’m plagiarizing so many great ideas from them on the kinds of campaigns they’re running to the kind of outreach they’re doing to their user base and it’s been great!”
- Commander Andy Howell, Director of Innovation, US Coast Guard“I’m learning how really innovative companies are using the platform to drive projects within their various cones of influence, but I’m also getting lots of great ideas on how we can market the service in our own community to get even better student engagement, better engagement with our staff and faculty as well.”
- Charles Leonhardt, Senior Director for Online Initiatives & Innovation, Georgetown“We used the IdeaScale platform to reach the best of the best and in the end get winners who can transform society through their ideas. We were able to set up the competition within a short period of time and collect over 60,000 votes in the first round. The 30 semi-finalists also conducted a peer review exercise entirely within the platform.”
- Daudi Were, Director of innovation, Making All Voices Count“I’ve learned a lot already and really excited about all the presentations that we’ve seen so far. One thing that I know I’m going to be bringing back is from the first presentation with Tesla […] that’s such a smart framework and we’re definitely going to bring that back.”
- Edwin Goutier, Senior Director, Innovation, United Way“By using the cloud, the government was able to launch IdeaScale months quicker than it would have been able to on its own.”
- David McClure, General Services Administration“Our experience with IdeaScale staff and the overall platform has been tremendous.”
- Nikki Sunstrum, Social Engagement Coordinator, State of Michigan“The IdeaScale program is a success, because even in these early stages we are engaging our
citizens, crowdsourcing their agenda for quality of life enforcement, and taking actions.
Citizens are pleased; cops feel good about the work.”
