North Carolina Launches Innovation Blog – Does Your State Have One?

Innovation in the government space may be the greatest — and most important — opportunity for NC over the next ten years. Seriously.

Government processes, infrastructure and policies should be more innovative — we have an obligation to use taxpayer dollars more efficiently and effectively and meet critical public needs. And government must be better — our state faces huge challenges that government needs to help us solve.

But where could government start? We have some ideas, and they come from the business world.

The Grupthink platform provides a rich discussion structure that brings valuable ideas, opinions, and consensus to light. Organizations can use Grupthink to create their own branded feedback communities, powered by Grupthink.

Online forums are often filled with rich, valuable insights, yet those insights often get lost in the chaos of online discussion, and it is expensive to aggregate them. Grupthink has the unique ability to bring the most popular insights to the forefront, while allowing rich, free expression.

Surveys are great at capturing quantitative results for a "slice in time", but they are generally one-way conversations and rely on the surveyor knowing all the answers in advance. See more about Grupthink and surveys http://www.grupthinkpowered.com./faq/#surveys

Online "Suggestion boxes" are becoming more common, but they, like surveys, are top-down approaches lacking compelling community engagement and free-form discussion. We believe the richest insights come from listening to members talk to one another, so at Grupthink, everyone is free to start a topic and ask the questions.
