Crowdsourcing

What is crowdsourcing? subdivision of work into a number of separate bits (modules); offering these bits to a virtual group of individuals, “the crowd” by means of technology (e.g.: the Internet); the person who comes up with the best solution, the quickest and the lowest price, wins the competition; only the winner will make money; continuation of existing globalization trends (outsourcing, offshoring, etc.); examples of crowdsourcing platforms: TopCoder, Elance, Guru, Odesk, Proz.

Consequences applicable in different sectors: ICT, finance, consulting, graphical sector, etc.; employees in Europe have to compete with “colleagues” in countries like India, Malawi and South-America; the risks, linked with employment, are extensively circumvened and are for the employee’s own account; no more permanent employment, training costs, pensions, care obligations, etc.; large ICT companies (e.g. IBM) are currently busy experimenting with this phenomenon.

Actions until now presentation in network meeting ( ); conversation with 2 members Dutch parliament ( ); publication manifesto (press, political parties, trade unions, etc.; ); conversation with member European parliament ( ).
