25/10 Crowd Sourcing
Everyone writes a bold idea on an index card, then the whole group gets on their feet and starts milling around, passing cards from person to person. When you call "Stop," each person reads the card in their hand and scores it from 1 to 5. This happens five times, so every card collects five scores. At the end, you add up the scores and call out the numbers from the top down. The highest-scoring ideas are read aloud, and the group's top 10 emerge in less than 30 minutes.

How the 25/10 Crowd Sourcing Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Step 1: Write Your Bold Idea
In this step, participants write a bold idea on an index card without any group influence, setting the stage for independent thinking.
2Step 2: Mill and Pass
Participants stand and mill around the room, passing their cards to ensure anonymity and randomness before scoring begins.
3Step 3: Read and Score (Round 1)
Each person reads the card they have and scores it from 1 to 5, writing their score on the back before passing it again.
4Step 4: Repeat for Four More Rounds
The milling and scoring process is repeated four more times, allowing each card to collect a total of five scores.
