Creating a Culture of Collaboration
PCB designers could learn quite a bit from NASA and the private companies that develop spacecraft: Every one of these vehicles is a testament to the value of collaboration among disparate stakeholders. Without a collaborative culture, the rocket might never get off the ground.
A lot of designers are still tossing their design “over the wall” and hoping for the best. They don’t talk to the fabricator or the assembly provider, and definitely not the component supplier. They’re just out there winging it, because that’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s worked out most of the time. For the June 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on collaboration, why communication with stakeholders is so critical, and how to set up a collaboration culture in your company.

10/04/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineFall presents us with a lot of tradeshow activity, such as the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show, which kicked off the month in California. Our intrepid managing editor Andy Shaughnessy has been on the scene and I look forward to hearing more about the show from him.
