This blog spotlights the work of Eugene Ivanov, Author and Innovation Manager

BY GINA SPARROW | 0 min read

Eugene Ivanov has been a valued member of the HeroX Community since the beginning. He is an innovation manager with a deep understanding of how open innovation can create value for organizations. He has mastered the art of identifying customer's current and future needs (“jobs-to-be-done”) and transforming them into problem statements suitable for internal and external crowdsourcing (like on HeroX!). And... he has written a book to support that claim!

We the People of the Crowd is an invaluable resource to assist anyone looking to deepen their knowledge, and execution, in the crowdsourcing world.
