Crowdsourcing of Cognitive Ideas within the company
Pros: - Innovative way of engaging ALL employees in the company's strategic goal of helping clients solve business problems using cognitive solutions. 
- Very interesting approach to learn on how Design Thinking and Agile can produce outcomes with the end user in mind. 
- Promotes teaming and collaboration with people you have never worked before thus enhancing your network.
Cons: -Since this project is over and above employee's day to day responsibilities it represents a challenge in terms of time commitment. However, I found that passionate employees about learning new skills and producing innovative ideas always found the time to collaborate.
