The essence of crowdsourcing is to acknowledge that not all the talented people work for you; hence, crowdsourcing brings more perspectives, insights, and visions to, for instance, an innovation process. In this article, we analyze how crowdsourcing can contribute to the different stages of innovation processes carried out in living labs and thus contribute to living labs by strengthening their core role as innovation process facilitators. We have also identified benefits and challenges that need to be grappled with for managers of living labs to make it possible for the crowd to fully support their cause.}, keywords = {citizen, crowdsourcing, ICT, innovation process, Living lab, user}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/950}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/950}, author = {Anna St{\r a}hlbr{\"o}st and Josefin Lassinantti} }
