Before you submit a new feedback call

Make sure you’re well prepared!

• Make your research easy to understand.
• Briefly describe what it’s about – without using technical jargon that only experts can understand.
• Ask a genuine question.
• The crowd can be particularly helpful if you want to know who your solution might be relevant to, what problem it solves, or where it delivers a specific benefit.
• Focus on the next step.
• Don’t try to sort everything out at once. A strong call has a clear objective.
• Help the crowd make sense of your idea.
• Provide enough context so that people from different backgrounds can give meaningful answers.
• Stay open to unexpected perspectives.
• Unfamiliar feedback in particular can help you identify new areas of application, target groups or business models.
• Ensure confidentiality.
• Only share content that you’re allowed to discuss publicly or with the community.
• Make active use of the results.
• A call is particularly valuable if you subsequently incorporate the feedback into the development of your business case.
