Being obsessed with TED ever since they launched the global website, it was an absolute honor, being part of the board for the TEDxBerlin Conference. http://tedxberlin.de
The actual event was organized by the great people at http://www.redonion.de/

We are all very proud to see Peter Eigen, founder of transparency international and of the speakers in Berlin on the global website!

It’s more than time again to revive this.

Ideenweitwerfen is a one day think-tank workshop for making the world a good place.
It works like this:
1 Someone defines a topic, picks a place and invites 10-20 people
2 Everybody presents their first ideas about the topic in 1-2 minutes
3 The ideas get placed on a board
4 Afterwards everybody gets to give 5 votes across all ideas
5 The top x ideas get chosen and a owner is chosen and the group is split up into teams
6 The teams revolve through all ideas and do a 10 minute brainstorming session
7 Everyone picks her favorite idea and starts working on a solution with the rest of the team
8 Every team presents their solution

The ideas need to meet the following criteria:
- It needs to be a specific product
- It needs to have a business case, in order to be sustainable

A really good idea of an idea like that is http://www.betterplace.com/
