Challenge your organisation
Every organisation has its crowd. Team members. Partners. Suppliers. Customers. The list goes on.
So few organisations reasonably understand what motivates this crowd to be involved in the organisation's future.
Fewer still stir their crowd for the ideas that will help their organisation confront its big challenges.
Jams do exactly that.
A jam is an idea-generation and decision-making tool which streamlines your organisation's collaboration processes. As an online, time-limited collaboration event, it’s specific to an invited group of participants and focuses on a particular organisational challenge. Using a secure software platform, Vulture Street’s jam service allows you to access the ideas and opinions of the people who matter most to your organisation, one challenge at a time.
How it works
Once you’ve determined the challenge you wish to solve, and the people you’d like to help solve it, Vulture Street will allocate you a dedicated, secure space on our purpose-designed web platform for the duration of your jam event. There’s no training or software installation required – all participants need is a web browser.
In this neutral space, all personality types can voice their opinion with equal impact through three distinct mechanisms: posting new ideas, commenting on the ideas of others, or simply voting to give an idea an objective 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down'.
During the jam event (usually two weeks duration), participants can log on to post, comment and vote, at any time convenient to them. Our moderators will monitor the posts to ensure that the discussion is kept on track, and assist with any queries.
When the jam is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report, including statistics on posting, voting and commenting patterns, and an analysis of the most popular, active and controversial ideas.
We’ll make sure you have all the relevant tools and services to make your jam a success. We help you define your challenge and identify the most suitable participants. We develop a customised communications plan to optimise engagement within your jam group. We also help you to get the most out of your jam findings, through post-jam workshops or detailed results analysis.
Jams vs. traditional decision-making
Jams are effective in four key ways:
• They are focused around specific themes, as defined by management - hence they are not simply open-ended solicitations, suggestion boxes or community discussions;
• They are specific to the group invited to participate, which can include external stakeholders such as customers or suppliers, as well as employees – but not the general public;
• They are scalable beyond the limits of physical get-togethers, able to accommodate thousands of participants, regardless of their location; and
• They are time-limited, so they do not simply fade into the background of everyday business life.
Jams complement conventional stakeholder surveys that, while useful, focus on the past and present, not the future. The jam difference is in providing a platform for forward-looking, action-oriented collaboration.
Jams help move the conversation from what if to what next, one challenge at a time.
