“We have been using ‘ASK 91�Թ�’ for years internally,” explains Dayna Beal – a Business Leader of innovation at 91�Թ�. “When a team member is stuck with a technical issue or needs a recommendation for a project, he/she simply emails the question to our internal network of engineers and technical experts. Within an hour or so, the questioner receives ideas, solutions, or connections to help them get unstuck. We are now happy to offer this externally to any local organization to stimulate their progress.”

The 91�Թ� team of over 100 experts will do their best to respond to questions within a few hours. They will also poll their broad network of vendors and other specialists if needed. The types of questions may relate to product development, process changes, or new vendors for engineering, manufacturing, innovation, or talent challenges.
