  14. Columbia Research Goals Provide a platform for idea generation Engage alumni in a new way Build community and excitement Allow alumni to re-think volunteer roles Test variations of how best to foster creativity within the ideation process Be inclusive across all schools and volunteer levels

  15. The Volunteer Challenge What is the ideal wayto motivate you, as well as others like you, to engage in a leadership role as a Columbia alumni volunteer? The goal is to create a truly unique volunteer experience – one that will motivate fellow alumni to begin volunteering, as well as motivate current volunteers to do even more! You are encouraged to create your own ideas and also see what other participants are saying – if you can make other ideas better, we all benefit from an engaging, motivating volunteer experience.  “Out of the Box” thinking is encouraged – come up with programs, events, digital services, etc. … the sky’s the limit!  Together, we can create ideas that are motivating and engaging to everyone. 

  16. Volunteer Challenge Objectives Help strengthen Volunteer Network by generating ideas to… Test variations of CrowdWeaving methodology: Identify new volunteer leaders Create programs to recruit volunteers Develop ways to retain volunteers Design programs to train volunteers Determine incentives to recognize volunteer efforts Test Open vs. Masked Ideation process Understand the impact of Creative Style Adaptive vs. Innovative

  19. Participants are Highly Engaged “ I just wanted to say that I logged on for the first time today and had no idea what to expect. THIS IS SUPER FUN. Thanks so much for putting this together. I'm having a great time here in my cozy living room interacting and brainstorming with fellow alumni. I graduated from Columbia College in 1989 and this is sincerely the first time I have really felt connected and inspired as an alumni. So THANK YOU.”

  25. Recommendations on How to Foster Creativity • Provide clear Challenge rules & expectations • Prime participants with warm-up exercises • Use creative activities to push participants outside of their comfort zone • Motivate different creative styles through custom messaging • Use Open Ideation for low affinity and/or high complexity issues – Masked is better for high affinity and low complexity • Offer tiered incentives based on level of participation • Include gamification to keep sessions fun and interactive
