Collaborative Approach leads to Innovative Concepts

Attempts are in full swing at CME towards arriving at ways to enhance a collaborative and cross-functional thinking where individuals and teams come together to deal with major challenges.

Also, as part of our Emerging Technology function we have created a cross-functional team called the 'Big Think team' for creating innovative ideas through collaborative problem solving.
