Discover the value other organizations experience.
Look no farther than what you already have: yourselves.
Track and raise awareness of key success metrics to identify and mitigate risk factors before it's too late.
Identify design and production anomalies before a product is brought to market to avoid expensive repairs and recalls.
Leverage markets across your supply chain to predict internal and external events that would cause inefficiencies or disruptions.
Determine which new ideas and process improvements will have real business impact vs. the "nice to have."
Build a dedicated community of users around a marketplace of questions relevant to your business area and brand.

When I started playing, the winning strategy was pretty naive speculation. The market dynamics quickly matured, though, and these days I use a mix of hard-core research, contrarian instincts, and sheer hunches. I treat Inkling pretty much like a real market, only it's more fun.

...If employees were to put their reputations on the line by making calls on business issues like these, and then if they were recognized (with bonuses or raises) for accuracy, it would definitely encourage them to think critically about these topics. And it would give a corporation a decent view into the wisdom of its entire consciousness.
