SITUATION
Seeking a New Perspective
A major global industrial manufacturer needed a way to think outside the box for ideas on how to improve on an existing technology—the ignition process for internal combustion engines. The company had already been exploring potential ways to revolutionize this process, but internal brainstorming quickly turned into an echo chamber of ideas that just weren’t hitting the mark. The company decided to look externally for fresh, innovative ideas.
GATE
We love working with MindSumo. On our most recent set of challenges, we’ve walked away with 3-5 concepts per challenge that we’ve then been able to test for development feasibility. I don’t know if we would have received those concepts had we not used MindSumo.
– Veronica, Innovation Engineer
