PwC - New Crowdsourcing Challenge



We’re excited to launch a new Crowdsourcing Challenge for students focused on identifying the key actions businesses should take to build trust in society.

We’re living in an era where trust of many institutions seems to be in short supply, expectations between business and wider society appear to diverge and motivations are often misunderstood.

We’re interested in exploring ideas on what it takes for trust to flourish to help shape a new relationship between business and society. This Challenge is focussed on a broad question:

What can businesses tangibly do to build trust in society?

The Challenge is hosted on an idea management platform that allows you to post ideas, comment on other people’s ideas, and vote on the ideas you think really stand out.

Share your ideas on what businesses should do to build trust in society for a chance to win £1,000 and an exclusive work shadowing opportunity.

Post your ideas, comment on other people’s ideas and vote on the ideas you think really stand out, and you could have the opportunity to pitch your idea to a panel of PwC Board Member’s and win £1,000 plus an exclusive work shadowing opportunity.

Register to take part.at:  https://forms-v1.akkroo.com/hosted/pwc/30407

We’ll send you a password and link to the Challenge website when it opens on Monday 2 February 2015.

Take the opportunity of a lifetime
