Perhaps these problems that require out of the box thinking should be approached like the DARPA self driving car challenge. Set up the problem and winning criteria and give a 10 million USD price and contract to whoever solves it the best.
Might be better to have 10 teams of 10 people trying different approaches than one team of 100.
- Someone1234 9y agoThat's a cute idea, but building accurate enough requirements to complete the task is actually part of the core problem. This team bypassed that bottleneck by ignoring requirements, re-building the application(s) 1:1, and then using testing to prove that they reproduced the same result(s) for the same input(s). In order to set up the competition you're suggestion the department would need to have documentation which they lack, which also happens to be the whole crux of the issue.
