The Brainstorming (brainstorm) method is a semi-structured creative group activity, used most often in ad-hoc business meetings to come up with new ideas for innovation or improvement.

"Open Innovation" wird als Innovationsprozess definiert, in dem Wissen aus organisationsinternen Quellen zusammen mit jenem aus organisationsexternen zum Entwickeln einer Innovation verwendet wird. Studien belegen, dass für bestimmte Anwendungsfälle der "Open Innovation" Prozess (dt. offener Innovationsprozess) dem geschlossenen vorzuziehen ist, in dem die Entwicklung einer Innovation ausschließlich innerhalb einer Organisation (z.B. im Unternehmen) stattfindet. Kunden, Partner und Mitglieder der verschiedenen beteiligten Organisationen können somit Bestandteile einer "Open Innovation" Community sein.
