House Rules & FAQ's

Welcome to the Consumed Design Challenge!

This is a space designed to inspire creativity and give you a voice to share your great ideas. We want to make sure that everyone to feel like this is a space to comment, collaborate and create. In order to do that we have put together some House Rules and FAQ's to help you engage in the platform in a positive way.

HOUSE RULES

Respect the opinions of others

We expect all people to behave consistently with the values of:

Integrity
Compassion
Respect
Diversity
Collaboration

We are all individuals with different points of view and areas of interest. You may not always agree with what others have to say but you should be respectful of their ideas. Team members who have put thought, effort and time into their ideas are to be encouraged and supported.

Research your idea

It is recommended you put as much thought and planning into your post as possible to give your idea the best chance of success.

DO's & DON'Ts

Do participate in the Challenge by contributing constructive ideas for innovation, improvement and enhancement.
Don't be overly negative, especially if you’re not familiar with the current processes, policies or circumstances in question.
Do suggest ways to do things better by taking a positive and helpful approach.
Don’t use the platform to criticise colleagues or leaders but instead address any issues privately through the appropriate channels.
Do support colleagues’ ideas which you think have merit by commenting on and liking their posts.
Don’t be disparaging of other people’s posts – if you don’t agree with their idea, put forward your own in a separate post.
Do add to concepts – someone’s initial idea may spark further thinking in others so work together to come up with a final proposal.

Any inappropriate content, Ideas or Comments will be removed by the Moderator and those responsible for the inappropriate content may be banned from the Ideas Crowd community.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an Idea?

This may seem like a redundant question, but we want to make sure our awesome Consumed Design Challenge Crowd know what we expect when it comes to an idea. When we use the term "idea" we mean suggestions that are either:

fresh and new.
you have seen work in other settings.

How do I submit an Idea?

To submit an Idea, simply head to the Consumed Design Challenge which can be found here. When you click on the challenge you will see below the text at the top of the Challenge a red button that says "Post An Idea". Click this button and fill in the web form that pops up. Once you have completed the form, click "Publish" and your Idea will be automatically posted to the Crowd for comment and voting. Now get hustling on getting your network (friends, family, church, bible study etc) to vote for your Idea!

What happens once I have submitted an Idea?

Each Idea submitted is automatically marked "Pending" and will be reviewed by the Moderator who will approve the idea to enter the crowd. If an Idea is rejected it could be because the Idea is already on the platform, has been tried before, is inappropriate or does not meet the criteria.

If your idea is approved to enter the crowd, it will then be available for people to vote and comment on. If your Idea is successful in meeting the Challenge Criteria (e.g. received the most number of votes) it will enter the Approval Process which will review and determine which Ideas move forward to a Design Lab.

Who can submit ideas?

Anyone can submit ideas into the Challenge.

How many times can I vote?

The amount of times you can vote depends on the Challenge. In some cases, you will be allowed to vote on up to 5 ideas. This is known as a Voting Wallet. Other times you will be allowed only to vote for the Idea you like the most.

Each challenge will outline what voting type has been enabled, so if you're ever unsure, just take a look at the information about the Challenge found at the top of the Challenge once you have clicked into it.

What are the different types of voting?

There are four types of voting.

1. Thumbs Up: as the name suggests, this type of voting is simply giving an Idea a thumbs up.

2. Stars: in this type of voting you can award an Idea a number of stars up 5. So you if you really like an Idea you can give it 5/5 stars. If you think an Idea is good but needs a bit of work, you could award the Idea 3/5 stars.

3. Points: Similar to stars, with the Points way of voting, you can award an idea a certain amount of points depending on how much you like it.

4. Scorecard: the scorecard voting style requires you to move a slider up or down a scale an answer to a question. This type of voting could have up to 5 questions for you to score on. For example, the question could be "In your opinion, how likely is it that this Idea will help TSA achieve it's mission goals?" you would then move the slider up or down according to whether or not you think the idea would achieve this.

What is a "Voting Wallet"?

A Voting Wallet allows you to vote on more than one Idea. You may like three different Ideas and would like to vote on all three, your Voting Wallet allows you to do that. Voting Wallet is enabled when the Challenge is set up, so make sure you read the details about the challenge because it's in there you will be notified if you can vote on more than one idea for the challenge.

Do I have to include other people?

It's recommended to include other people in your idea so that together, as a team, you can carry it forward.
