DESCRIBE YOUR PROBLEM

Fill out a one-page “Challenge Template” that describes your problem, your desired solution, and what you have already tried.  Spend no more than 20-30 minutes to complete the Template.  

 

CONFIDENCE CALL

Attend a one-hour “Confidence Call” with SeaFreight Labs and our partner, Wazoku, to discuss your completed
“Challenge Template.”  The objective of the call is to understand your problem and determine whether our
SeaFreight CrowdSolving Open Innovation tool is viable for the problem you are facing.

 

WORKSHOP

Assuming we agree that SeaFreight CrowdSolving is likely to be effective, host an on-line or in-person Workshop (4 hours) to educate your organization on Open Innovation and learn at a deeper level the principles of effective problem identification and challenge design leading to potential solutions.  You can have up to 20 stakeholders/attendees in the Workshop.  This is a paid session which can be applied to the cost of your engagement when you engage commercially with us.

 

ENGAGE 

After the Workshop, we jointly decide on the commercial terms for your engagement with SeaFreight Labs and our partner InnoCentive to run three or more challenges to attempt to solve your highest-priority problems.  

 

DESIGN & ENGAGEMENT PROCESS 

After we commercially engage, SeaFreight Labs and InnoCentive begin the design and engagement process with you.  The full process of engagement is explained during the Workshop.  At this time, we decide if you will want to run any of your challenges anonymously.

 

DELIVER RESULTS

After a few months, we deliver the results of our Challenge process.  You only award prize money if you receive a submission that meets your Challenge requirements.
