Great ideas are not created in a vacuum. Assist 2 Develop taps a global talent pool to quickly solve problems by using open innovation that cuts across blind spots, identifies creative solutions, and develops real-world results.

5) To stay ahead of the competition

4) To foster collaboration and partnerships

3) To improve the quality and relevance of products and services

2) To reduce costs and risks

1) To access a wider range of ideas and expertise

Why should you use open innovation in product development? Here are five reasons:

Down to the final days in the global CAD mechanism challenge. This challenge is for up-and-coming engineers and students looking for hands-on experience and a chance to win some cash! Link to the challenge in the comments. #SOLIDWORKS @SOLIDWORKS

Up & coming engineers looking to get some practice because every "entry-level" mechanical engineering job says you need 5+ years of experience? 👇Link to challenge https://t.co/YAWkDKuZXW #solidworks #solidworksdesign #cad #meche #engineering #designindustry #designengineering

@sabakarimm @CordelroB A challenge platform @Assist2Develop that helps companies discover the most innovative ideas and talent. Why? Levels the playing field. Doesn’t matter if you’re an MIT grad or self taught, prove you can solve the problem or have the best idea, and you can win cash or a job.

“If you start with considerations for manufacturability at the beginning of the design process, you give yourself so many options for future development." https://t.co/ojIEKNCEcI

Great ideas can stem from anywhere. Keep looking! 🚀

Want to play stump the engineering design student? https://t.co/PFpsEwUuH4 This group is looking for senior engineers to create and judge design challenge contests. Contact @iambassanio_03 to sign up with him.

Mechanical Engineering students: “every entry level job says I need 3-5 years experience? Where the hell do I get that from?” + Engineering managers: “students come out of school with theoretical knowledge, but lack real-world, hands-on experience = skills gap

Great ideas are not created in a vacuum.

See y’all (see what we did there ATX) tonight at the #SXSW @CapitalFactory startup crawl and the Capital Factory House on the 16th floor all weekend. @iambassanio_03
