To start an organization with clout, it is best that students innovate to solve a problem or work around a known issue.  By starting an organization with clout and intent, one gains a leg up on the challenges, while also entering with validity.  Leveraging the clout can help students gain traction and membership faster, thus leading to a faster output.

This roadmap is a great outline for how to successfully start an innovation organization on campus! Last year, we attempted to create an Innovation Club on campus, but unfortunately it did not turn out as originally planned. I think the first step is crucial to success. Without that core group of people who are fully committed, others will not be motivated to join. Social media is also a great way to connect with students who might be interested in being a part of it. I will definitely be using these tips if we decide to start an innovation organization on campus in the future!

Social Media part of the Resource gave me inspiration to create two distinct organizations. I really see socail media very important becasue it is a way to declare you are present and what you are involved in with its evidences. As we learnt in teh Entrepreneurship Center's meetup frequency of contacting with your folowers is also very crucial. So whatever project you are involved in, you should use the media tools actively to give your work a presence in digital world o gain more followers and spread further inspiration for others to create even more developed projects.

This article is exactly right! Sometimes creating an organization without clout sounds difficult but it is not impossible. I am currently the president of a student organization that is aimed at all people who want to learn about the branch of engineering. And I can say that incorporating social media has helped me grow a lot. Also, a lot of our growth comes from social media, because even though we don’t have a lot of followers we make a lot of movement through it.  As the article says, we have obtained unexpected opportunities by approaching other organizations and collaborating with them. Something very important is that for an organization to be successful, it must have a good directive full of ideas to grow, without it the organization will not succeed. The people who are in it must have the desire to grow. Therefore, I can say that this article has substantial information that can help anyone who wants to start any organization.
