Microengagement® is a consulting practice that helps clients leverage the power of their business constituencies through open innovation and crowdsourcing. We help our customers gain revolutionary improvements in product development, strategic planning and employee participation by harnessing the combined knowledge of customers, employees, vendors, consumers, end-users, and the general public.
