How Can Nonprofits Develop a Pilot Innovation Process that Works for Volunteers?

Nonprofits often face challenges in implementing pilot innovation processes due to limited resources, but field testing and crowdsourcing can be effective solutions. Doctors Without Borders launched a platform called Think Up where members propose solutions to operational challenges, which are then reviewed and tested in small, real-world field work settings before being implemented on a large scale. This approach has resulted in numerous successful solutions, such as an educational game app developed during the Ebola outbreak that later gained over a million clicks on social media. Crowdsourcing software platforms, like IdeaScale, offer similar solutions for organizations looking to implement pilot innovation processes.
