Great Crowd Sourcing Experiment wins 2011 MRS Conference Best Workshop

December 16th, 2011 Posted in Article

UK MRS Awards 2011

Tribe Research were part of the winning workshop at the 2011 UK MRS Conference – Best Workshop Award!

It is the first year the award has been given and it is wonderful that this innovative workshop by John Griffiths and Joanna Chrzanowska - The Great Crowd Sourcing Experiment - was recognised!

Kate was honoured to be part of the workshop. She participated with 3 others via Skype to provide advice to the workshop participants and judge the presentations.

This award is judged on the interactivity, practicality, originality and management of workshops held during the conference. In their highly interactive and original workshop John and Joanna asked competitive teams to consider a group generated issue where crowd sourcing might be relevant. Among the resources available were four leading experts on crowdsourcing techniques in Sydney, New York, Prague and Shanghai who could be individually consulted on Skype and who judged the presentations. The result was a high level of creative energy and involvement from every participant.

The judges said about the workshop:

The session epitomised what a good workshop should be: highly interactive, very original, well structured and managed by the leaders, and with real learnings for the participants.
