These Mega trends include Glocal Communities Digitalization Crowdsourcing evolution IP Regulation Social Media RevolutionSilver Surfers Moral Responsibility Taking these trends into account how can Quirky position itself to eectively replace the UN having its global community of not just inventors but creative minds take on to solve reallife problems and aid countries in need In the following sections please add a green sticker to ideas which you like and a red sticker for those you dont like. Also add any additional ideas that you come up with on the provided post-its THANKYOU Quirky Air-BnB A skillshare travel program that facilitates community members traveling to new places and connecting them with each other in order to collaborate on projects. We left the prototype with the Quirky employees so that we could gauge the level of interest within each proposed bucket concepts partners and results. After having Quirkyemployeestestthefuturetrendsprototypewehad a clear view of what the Quirky team actually envisioned for their future. Concepts The results from future concepts imply that the Quirky team wishes to build upon their existing business model . There was a positive response on leveraging a powerful community through charitable and philanthropic organizations and opening up collaboration spaces for skilled inventors. Another idea that was very well received by Quirky was an on the road bus and the flash taskforce to respond during crises. We see that Quirky really wants to do something that involves the community as well as facilitates change. Some of the topics that did not get a good response were the Quirky Air-BnB concept as well as Quirky becoming a country of problem solvers or creative superheroes. As a future visioning group we aimed to prototype a scenario where we looked at the transition of Quirky through the future megatrends on a 10- year projection. We created a visual map of an ideal future where Quirky takes on a major a role as the problem solving company of 2025. This implies the following concepts. Quirky replaces the UN and inventors take on a unified approach to solve real life problems. Quirky is no longer a company that creates products and life-hacks. Quirky realized the benefit of having a great and diverse community and leverages its members to solve major issues on a global scale. Quirky takes on a role as a community of creative superheroes or vigilantes for good. Inventors will travel to cities in need and solve local problems within the community. The community network serves as a country for problem solvers online and off. Quirky will partner with foundations such as American Red Cross The Bill Melinda Gates Foundations Anonymous Pencils for Promise Berkshire Hathaway as well as others to work together in order to facilitate change in the future.
