The impact crowdfunding will have on the future of finance can not be understated. Taking a very contrary opinion, I believe it will actually minimize fraud in the financial system. As the "Crowd" is much better at detection then a government agency ever can or will be. Very Well Done. The impact crowdfunding will have on the future of finance can not be understated.

The human element is too essential.

Additionally I think that crowdsourcing will become more difficult to define. What I mean by this is when companies jump on the bandwagon of the latest thinking we often see them distort or stretch the definition of the concept or idea to be able to become a part of the movement. This will cause confusion which will also make crowdsourcing more challenging for companies. A final thought - despite the enthusiasm of crowdsourcing the population of a community that genuinely participates is a fairly small number - along the lines of 1% if my memory serves. This means that successful crowdsourcing in the future will hinge on the ability to engage the other 99% of the community. This will require less of a one-size-fits-all approach to engagement as well as an expansion of creativity on the "how" of engaging the communities. Thanks for the opportunity to learn!

I believe that Continuous Improvement (Six Sigma, Lean Service/Manufacturing, etc) and Innovation can be friends and they can work in parallel projects. But for this is necessary take a disciplined, integrated approach on behalf of the organization. Best Geovanny Braden

Eliminating defects, waste / cost reduction and innovation need not be enemies and one often drives the other. I have however seen a recent rise in worrying slavish adherence to Lean 5S and Sigma type approaches that verges on a fundamentalist religious approach to the topic. Like most things taken to extremes, this can become the enemy of creativity and innovation, as the organisation becomes 'paralysed' by the triumph of the cause over what the organisation is there to do.
