## Problem
10+
11+
In many organizations, there's an inherent pressure to present finished or near-finished ideas, which reduces the opportunity for collaborative input from a wider community. How can we encourage individuals to open up their ideas or challenges early for feedback, leveraging the collective intelligence of the community?
12+
13+
## Context
14+
15+
* Organizations where sharing early-stage ideas is not the norm.
16+
* Environments where there's a fear of criticism or judgment for unfinished ideas.
17+
* Cultures that prioritize individual achievement over collective collaboration.
18+
19+
## Forces
20+
21+
* **Inertia:** Employees often follow established cultural norms.
22+
* **Lack of Awareness:** Some might not be aware of the benefits of tapping into the collective intelligence.
23+
* **Fear of Criticism:** Sharing an unfinished idea can be daunting.
24+
25+
## Solution
26+
27+
* Create a safe space (like a specific repo, brainstorming channel) where employees can share unfinished ideas.
28+
* Encourage opening (WIP or draft) PRs that are not fully complete but provide a starting point for discussion.
29+
* Cultivate a community culture that values and rewards collaboration and feedback.
30+
* Host regular "idea-sharing" sessions where team members can present their initial thoughts and get feedback.
31+
32+
## Resulting Context
33+
34+
* Enhanced collaboration and broader input on ideas.
35+
* Reduction in duplicated efforts across the organization.
36+
* Faster ideation to implementation timelines.
37+
* Stronger sense of community and shared ownership of challenges and solutions.
