Collaborative team workIntroductionMore the number on problem more creative solution can be obtained for it. So collaborative team work provides good solution then those provided by individuals. However it is quite problematic in case of online community, but it is not impossible. There are many ways through which the collaboration and team work can be improved.Steps required changePersonal ProfileThe current public profile contains most of the fields required to show. The change required here is making few fields mandatory to fill in order to get idea about the team member. The few fields refer to Bio, Achievements of him, and his interests which can be seen before the making team with that person.Challenge detail pageCurrently there is a button for the Team which redirects to FAQ page. The change required here is, once the user presses the button of team, redirect him/her to list of users wish to be part of team or need member for team. If the user is first to press it then the fields he required to fill up are:1. Qualities he/she seek in the team member.2. Number of members needed in team.3. The location restriction i.e. members of particular countries can only join the team. (Ex. Only Indian person can join my team.)4. Why he want be part of team or want to create a team5. The preferred mode of communication or meeting for discussion6. The share of prize money he/she is offering7. Other fields as per needThe pre-filled fields can be:1. The public profile of the user.2. His contact details.Now the mode of communication here can be through Skype (However, group calling facility requires pro account.), the social sites, A message box or forum for each team on innocentive itself, or their own preferred method. However it is highly recommended to provide chat-box or message forum for each team till they submit final solution. This way their progress can be recorded and can be maintained and payment can be made accordingly. The best place to add chat box will be project room. By combining project room of team each member can provide their part of work. To fasten the work collaboration with existing sites can be done else these things dont require much time. The best way can be use of Google hangout for it as it is best way for online group meet.This will solve both the problems of Enabling Solver-solver visibility and Enable collaborative working. Incentivizing SolverThe referral methods are out dated now and dont work much now. Everybody wants to be first and only few people take trouble to get referred. The best way according to me is collaborating with institutions is best way of getting Solvers. As most of the problems posted here are from the industries the institutions across the world providing graduation and post-graduation course can be targeted. One person in each institute can be selected which will represent Innocentive to his/her institute and will provide the progress to the Industries. The additional thing which can be done is forwarding resume of the solvers to the industries and help them getting jobs. The one which are selected can be used for the promotion of the Innocentive. This way more and more people will engaged in the problem solving and more will be attracted to do this work.In case of referral method, one can provide virtual credit and allot few additional things from website. The additional things here refer to providing Pro badge, Gifts, Certificates etc.
