The InnoCentive Insider: Why do we call them Solution REQUIREMENTS?
In today’s Client Services post, Eugene provides some insider advice for submitting a successful solution to an InnoCentive Challenge.
My name is Eugene Ivanov. As a member of the InnoCentive Client Services team, I have a number of responsibilities. One of them is to review solutions that you, our Solvers, submit to posted Challenges. (I even hope that from time to time, I can help you making them better).
I’m sure that those of you who submit proposals regularly know me by name after receiving my messages in your project rooms. And the chances are that at a certain point, you received the following message from me:
“Dear Solver,
Thank you for your submission.
I strongly feel that you could make your proposal even more attractive by adding a special section to it that would address — ideally, point by point — all (number) specific Solution Requirements.
I look forward to your updated submission.
Best Regards,
Eugene Ivanov, PhD”
Here, I’d like to explain what I mean when sending this message, and how a few simple edits will make your submission even stronger. (more…)
