In practice, companies are increasingly interested in using their own employees as an internal crowd. Drawing on socio-technical systems (STS) perspective, organizations must understand how they can embed an internal crowdsourcing system effectively in order to exploit its potential. In particular, organizations need assistance in designing internal crowdsourcing systems. Thus, we follow an action design research approach and develop comprehensive design guidelines for designing an internal crowdsourcing system. The paper in hand develops the design guidelines by deriving the requirements from literature, developing them further in a bank project and evaluating them with external experts. Furthermore, we assess what tools can cover which part of the system and implement the system. The short paper will present the derived requirements, the first design of the internal crowdsourcing system and explain next steps of the full paper as well as the contribution.enCrowdsourcingDesign GuidelinesSoftware TestingSocial Technical Systemsconference paper
