No Dead Air!

Company Name


Key Lessons

1. As far as possible, don’t launch a Challenge just for fun! Ensure it is helping ideate around a real need that would be addressed anyway!

2. Treat the Challenge like a project, run it end to end! • Including robust hand off!

3. Let the process evolve, Challenge by Challenge

4. Be flexible! Understand that there is a random element to this method, which is in part why we do it! • Be ready to improvise and react to what is emerging!

5. Treat the Community with respect!
