The concept for ideas anywhere was born on the bus on the way to work in the morning.
I looked at all the people doing very little with their downtime and thought it would be great to have them solve important issues facing community organisations by using their mobile phones.
ideas anywhere is distributed problem solving, idea generation and micro-volunteering via text messaging and mobile Internet. Powerful, simple and portable.
Each train, tram, bus, doctors office or public toilet could carry stickers or posters promoting the ideas anywhere service and would be seen by hundreds of thousands of people each day.
Public transport tickets could also feature the ideas anywhere info and phone number and act as a takeaway reminder card of the service. Any location where you have to wait in line such as banks, airports and supermarkets could all display ideas anywhere branding.
How about displaying ideas anywhere details on the big screen at the game and letting fans solve on their way home?
Mobile Internet, android and iphone applications can further enhance the service giving greater functionality, access to editing solutions for working on other media such as translating and tagging archived data.
ideas anywhere establishes a culture of change and engages the entire community in a shared vision for a strategy for continuous innovation.
Help organisations refine processes, reduce expenditure and become more sustainable, develop new programs and services, solve important community issues and extend funding and volunteering opportunities.
Make use of your mind and your downtime. Make a difference. Anywhere. Anytime.
