MindHive - crowd sourcing community intelligence to solve complex service delivery
We are trying to develop collaborations across government agencies, education, health, NFPs, business and civil society to provide a seamless approach to address the underlying causations of increasing youth crime. The MindHive experience was inspiring, thought provoking, innovative in that it brought to the fore issues that were 'hiding in plain sight', allowed organisations that considered they were in some competition for funds and 'turf' to see matters through a cooperative lens and helped shift the focus into a wider non threatening scope.
PROSIt provides an easy to use, well supported approach to bringing a wide range of experiences both within and external to the proponent to address complex organisational & societal matters of relevance. The platform has maximum flexibility to accommodate collaborations across organisational, cultural, professional, service delivery approaches, educational, socio-economic boundaries covering government, health, business, education and civil society organisations. One of the biggest issues confronting government service delivery, research and academia, business expansion and focus is processes that can engage minds free from hierarchy, agency capture and discipline. McKinsey review (Delivering for Citizens - 2018) of government service delivery across 50 countries found that 80% of government transformations fail and that success can be improved by 3.5 times by involving five disciplines. This begs the question of how to collaborate and how to build increasing self reliance in society. The MindHive platform can go a long way to addressing this matter by tapping into experience across the globe in a flexible yet controlled manner to focus on developing solutions outside of power relationships.
CONSMindHive is an exciting development which will improve with wider use including allowing easier multiple ideation tags for the same set of highlighted text.
Vendor Response
Really appreciate your review, Wallace. inclusive, innovative, and scalable are what we're aiming for. Thank you for your idea to improve the ideation experience too.

Mindhive empowering student learning
A fun way to collect solid, relevant industry data as a conversation. The support team went above and beyond to make sure my questions were answered and I understood the platform.
PROSI like the idea of collective intelligence as a research method. I have used it in academic research previously using a Delphi Study to illicit expert opinion on a topic. However, rather than have to recruit industry experts and send out two waves of questions and then analyze them, Mindhive makes it easy to administer. Plus as I have my expert panel set up in Semester One, I can ask them new questions in Semester 2. Equally, I like the way that it visualizes the research method for our students. As part of their course, they can see how the method works and also use the data for their assignment and also (hopefully) to help them get a job.
CONSBeing AI empowered, I expected more automatic analysis. Whereas I really had to set up the themes and assign the data to them (not that that was hard to do).
Vendor Response
Thanks for your feedback, Gayle. Sentiment analysis is a core feature of the coming product pathway. We'll keep you tup to date as it develops.

Mindhive Gives People an Opportunity to Participate
As a community we have received a huge number of responses to some key questions we have been grappling with to progress our work in the 'community change' space.
PROSWe received input from people across the globe - genuinely useful authentic contributions. We also winkled out people in our own community who may not get involved in face-to-face activities.
CONSI got confused starting out, but am pretty sure I did not read and follow the instructions.

It's also insightful to know more about the problems and issues other businesses are facing and witness the hive collective share thoughts and solutions to this, as a business in service delivery, this is helpful in helping me understand what challenges the business world is facing and how my business might assist in solving them.

A new dawn in consulting
Policy development takes time and I always wonder whether I've been able to consider all ideas, develop workable policy solutions and produce better outcomes. Mindhive has been able to harness a range of great ideas, innovative approaches and different solutions to present a future which is not only probable, but one which is being delivered today, and so, is getting ready for tomorrow's challenges.
PROSMindhive has developed the ability to bring together a range of ideas, to crowd source ideas, this has been particularly helpful as we explore new approaches to technological solutions for BIM and digital engineering.
CONSThere are no elements that I dislike about this software.
Vendor Response
Thanks Andrew. It's great to hear that Mindhive is being used as a tech solution for BIM and better policy solutions. There's some interesting work we could develop connecting global policy and BIM. Thanks for the encouragement.

Social Media Simplicity meets Intelligent Commentary - on tap
We have been able to provide clients with cost-effective and strategic insights previously simply not possible. Using Mindhive is sometimes like having a crystal ball for looking into the short to mid future.
PROSI love that global (internal and external) opinions, on just about any topic, can be easily garnered. We all know the opinions, preferences and solutions are out there. This tool makes collecting them, for improved executive decision making, much easier. But the analysis and presentation features ensure that the final strategy is simply on-target, applicable and reflects democratic preferences and opinions.
CONSThe software doesn't have many challenges and is clearly designed to be user-friendly and easy to implement. Getting some executives to think outside of their own cognitive biases even in the face of the tools definitive contrary evidence can be a little more difficult.
