Take a little time to share

A while ago, there was an opportunity (campaign/project, call it what you will) to get ideas from the people of Christchurch, where I live.

Quite simply, it was called Share an Idea.

Over six weeks, the project received over 100,000 ideas.

Now, I don’t know how equitable the process was, and don’t want to enter into a debate about how much it cost, or whether the ideas made a difference.

My point is this: Everyone has ideas to share. And if you don’t share them, we don’t hear them.

Your platform might be a blog. Or a podcast. Or a megaphone on a street corner. Or a conversation in a coffee shop. Or spray paint on the side of a wall. How you share it isn’t the point (although it might be important to you). It’s the sharing that matters.
