Crowdsourcing is a term that was coined in 2006 to describe how the commercial sector was beginning to outsource problems or tasks to the public through an open call for solutions over the internet or social media. Crowdsourcing works to generate new ideas or develop innovative solutions to problems by drawing on the wisdom of the many rather than the few. US local government experimented with rudimentary crowdsourcing strategies as early as 1989, but in the last few years local, state, and federal government have increasingly turned to crowdsourcing to enhance citizen participation in problem solving, setting priorities, and decision making. While crowdsourcing in the public sector holds much promise and is part of a larger movement toward more citizen participation in democratic government, many challenges, especially legal and ethical issues, need to be addressed to successfully adapt it for use in the public sector.Daren C. Brabham has been at the forefront of the academic study of crowdsourcing. This book includes extensive interviews with public and private sector managers who have used crowdsourcing. Brabham concludes with a list of the top ten best practices for public managers.

Preface
Just prior to my senior year of high school, I spent one week on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin engaged in a rigorous, hands-on simulation of Texas politics. The camp was Texas Boys State, a civic education and leadership program sponsored by the American Legion, a veterans organization. Since 1940 thousands of high school leaders in Texas and across the country have been able to run through this learn-by-doing experiment, condensing what is in real life about a two-year political process into just one week. Assigned to fictional cities and fictional political parties, students hear speeches from one another and mount campaigns to be elected as mayors, political party chairs, and all the way up to governor and other elected positions. Boys State teaches that involvement in the processes of politics and governance is the obligation of all citizens, and the work of public service is often difficult and messy but frequently satisfying.
I continue to learn from this experience, returning to Texas each year since to serve as a counselor for the program, mentoring tomorrows leaders. Young people are often dismissed as being distracted by technology and uninterested in politics and governance, but I get to see them light up with enthusiasm, think about big ideas, and experience the slow-moving gears of government as parts of a machine that can, in fact, be moved with enough determination and legwork. They get to see that their voice can actually matter in what shape their world takes.
Boys State is a microcosm that shows that the idealized notion of democratic engagement is not dead, even as partisan rancor today seems to turn off many citizens from the thought of engaging with government, while new technologies gobble up our attention night and day to where the thought of sitting through a lengthy city council meeting is dreadful. Indeed, direct citizen engagement in government affairs is truly exciting. Technology is helping citizens find new intimate connections to the public sector and allowing government to tap into the energy, intellect, and creativity of its citizens in ever more interesting and efficient ways.
In 2007 I connected this optimism for public engagement to a line of research about the role of crowdsourcing in the public sector, specifically the planning aspect. I teamed up with Thomas W. Sanchez and Keith Bartholomew to put this idea of crowdsourcing and planning into a grant proposal to the Federal Transit Administration. The Next Stop Design project funded by the grant and discussed at some length in this book was born. This moment focused my research program on the potential for crowdsourcing for the public good.
As crowdsourcing in public sector activities became normalized, frequent, and professionalized through associations and consultancies, it became clear that a set of unifying best practices and some practical advice for public managers that were informed by emerging empirical research was needed. The IBM Center for the Business of Government published some of these best practices in Using Crowdsourcing in Government. This book grows from that report and in addition injects a deeper level of theory and research from several disciplines, including communication, public administration, and business. This book also brings these best practices to life with insights from a dozen leaders using crowdsourcing in their work with various segments of the public sector.
