PROJECT REINVENTAre you a small business seeking assistance to build a strategy that will provide more resilience for the future? Can you use assistance from skilled industry workers to get past a hurdle? NW Innovation Resource Center's (NWIRC) "Project ReInvent" is a valuable resource to help you develop your business strategy by finding the right tools and community resources needed to bring your ideas to life. An increasing number of existing small businesses are recognizing the need to pivot or reinvent their business to address shifting market conditions and would benefit from some of the same actions and access to talent required by startup businesses. At the same time, there are many talented, knowledgeable dislocated workers with great knowledge and skills that would be most valuable to assist with some projects for the small businesses. While efforts persist to engage, upskill and re-employ this workforce, it’s an opportunity to join forces, brush up on innovation skills, help established small businesses or pursue an idea of your own.
