Open innovation, où en est la France. En matière d’open innovation, les entreprises françaises n’auraient que deux ans de retard sur les Américaines. C’est en tout cas la conclusion de l’étude réalisée par Bluenove, la start-up que Martin Duval, un ancien d’Orange Valley (la structure de repérage de start-up de l’opérateur), a lancé à l’été 2008 pour aider les grands groupes hexagonaux à ouvrir leur R&D.
Ainsi, sur les 144 répondants issus de 60 grandes entreprises 94,7 % donneraient une définition juste de l’open innovation. C’est déjà ça. Ce n’était sûrement pas le cas en 2008. Mais, au vu des questions posées par BlueNove, il semble que seule la partie amont du concept, celle consistant à aller puiser aussi à l’extérieur de bonnes idées et des technologies, ait été retenue. Intéressant, le concepteur de l’étude ont pensé à poser les mêmes questions en 2011 que la place de marché technologique NineSigma avait posé aux entreprises américaines en 2009.

Posted by James Altucher It started because I wanted to see girls naked. I had glasses, braces, acne, was the worst kid in gym class, had crazy hair, and liked science fiction. And I was 12. But through research in libraries, bookstores, random ads in the back of magazines at the local pharmacy, I knew there was one technique where if I applied all of my superior intelligence then certainly within weeks if not days I would reach my goal.
Astral projection. I read a book, “Journeys Out of the Body” which seemed pretty convincing. You could basically leave your body, fly around wherever you wanted, see whatever you wanted to see, and by the time the sun rose, made sure you were back in your body for school. Well, it didn’t work. The reality is, 99% of people recognize the benefits of doing some form of meditation but they will never do it. Everybody has an ongoing dialogue running in their head all day long.
But that’s fine. Here’s some 60 second meditations you can practice. - Elevator. How to Lose All Your Friends | Altucher Confidential. Posted by James Altucher I went into the 7-11, got a can of Pringles, a bottle of water, a NY Post, and went to the cashier. I asked her, “have you ever been robbed?” She said, “no.” “Well,” I said, “now you are.” She was silent for a few seconds.
I was silent. “That was a really bad joke,” the cashier said. Fifteen years later in a column for The Financial Times I was writing about a good friend of mine. He had gotten into some trouble with the legal system and needed some help. We listened to the cases before my friend’s case. “What am I going to do?”
(my friend after his win) I was proud of him and wanted to get the story out. Six months later when he finally spoke to me again he said, “you blur the line between friendship and business.” Another time I met a girl in the Barnes & Noble on 16th Street. “Nobody’s ever scraped the paint off,” she said, “and his stuff is in museums everywhere.” So that was the topic of my Financial Times column that week. An Idea I Had that Went Down the Drain | Altucher Confidential. Posted by James Altucher I was in the process of separating from my ex-wife and the pain was bordering on suicidal.
At the same time my whole family was moving into a new home right at the bottom of the worst housing crisis in the century. At the same time I owned a bunch of stocks and they were going down 10% a day. I needed to practice The Daily Practice but I freely admit its hardest to do at the exact moments you need to do it the hardest. In the middle of a financial crisis nobody remembers that the acid rain is happening to everyone at the same time. I’d go on Erin Burnett’s show every Tuesday and pick three stocks. Paul Kedrosky wrote me one day and said someone at Goldman told him the entire financial system would be destroyed within three weeks.
I had other things going against me when it comes to starting a new company. One time I pretended to be puking outside the New York Stock Exchange. I also wrote the occasional article for them.
