Mass collaboration is changing the way we live, communicate, learn, create and innovate. It's altering the way our governments and financial institutions operate; how public policies are made; how we advance our careers and develop professionally; and how the healthcare, utility, and energy industries serve their customers. Businesses face the challenge of adapting or perishing, with knowledge and power more dispersed than ever before.

Mass collaboration is the coordinated effort to complete a project that harnesses the combined knowledge, skills, or finances of a large group of people. Such an endeavor yields a reservoir of raw knowledge that grows as each individual adds their own unique experiences to the effort. A project of this magnitude would prove impossible for an individual or small team. Throughout history, mass collaboration has led to the success of large scale projects. More recently, the Internet has provided new avenues through which organizers can coordinate mass collaborative efforts, potentially reducing the barrier to entry to start a major project.

The definition of mass collaboration is changing. While it used to be considered the process of outsourcing work to other businesses, mass collaboration has evolved into the outsourcing of work to individual people. Mass collaboration, also known as crowdsourcing, enables businesses to complete large projects by outsourcing small pieces of work to large collective groups of individual workers. Instead of paying one company a large sum of money to complete one specific project, companies can now crowdsource work to individuals for a fraction of the price.

Social networks platforms such as Facebook orTwitter are for a while in fashion. But they are just trends, only a sign of the times announcing something much bigger. Its true value is that they have driven a new era of crowdsourcing and mass collaboration. Hundreds, thousands, even millions of people can now work effectively - like never before - to achieve extraordinary results. Indeed, successes such as Wikipedia, YouTube, and Facebook are good examples of mass collaboration, a new and emerging paradigm.
