5 Lessons For Using Open Innovation To Maximize The Wisdom Of The Crowd. Whether you like it or not, competition today is fierce. And it’s only going to get fiercer. Where the old battleground was price and efficiency, the new one will be innovation and time to market. The tech startup world has Eric Ries’s Lean Startup movement, which teaches us how to be fast (and iteratively build a product which consumers love, the fabled "market fit").
But it doesn’t tell us a lot about innovation. Innovation has been studied for as long as economists have tried to make sense of the modern organization. The quintessential question centers around the weird black box with the ominous label "creativity. " Today everybody seems to try to emulate the genius of Steve Jobs, not realizing that he’s the outlier. Being open fundamentally changes the game. One of the most obvious examples of open innovation is Mozilla and the Firefox web browser, now used by a quarter of the world’s online population and responsible for dragging the Web out of the innovation gap in the late 2000s. Quand MAAF se frotte à l'innovation ouverte. A New Webinar – Implementing Open Innovation: Symbiotic Success for Tech Transfer Offices | Fuentek Blog. Organizing Open Innovation - Ecosystems or Communities? | Innovation Fixer. The concept of Open Innovation (OI) has gained tremendous traction in recent years, as companies realize the potential offered by capabilities, technology and resource outside the organization’s borders.
The OI principles outlined in Henry Chesbrough’s eponymous book from 2003 fall into two main areas, “inside out” when your assets are used by others; and “outside in” when you use other people’s. Most OI uses the latter approach, and companies who employ it well need to consider many different things, one of which is how to structure and organize their OI efforts. The organization of OI is best addressed from two perspectives, structural and human. Starting first with the options for how you draw your organogram on paper, there are three basic models. The first has a central group acting as a centre of excellence, spreading good practice throughout the rest of the corporation. That’s fine, now we understand our structure. Consequently there is a lot of discussion about OI ecosystems.
# openinnovation, le Journal. 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.
Pour la partie avale, qui consiste à jouer le jeu à son tour avec les autres, par essaimage et licence de technologie, par exemple je suis moins sûre que le concept soit totalement maîtrisé.

Imagine the future of banking through open innovation… | Innopay. Imagine the future of banking through open innovation… It was in 2009 when PayPal launched the PayPal X platform. This platform provides a software development kit (SDK) with technical documents and API (application programming interface) tools to allow third-party developers to create apps that are based on the PayPal infrastructure. The benefits are great: by opening up to the whole community, potentially a large number of innovations can be created using the PayPal infrastructure but without PayPal having to incur the large costs of development. Indeed, since its launch a large number of new apps have been created such as Twippr, Lottay, Juice.to and many more.
Not too long after, MasterCard and Visa followed. I was lucky to be offered a first look inside the SDK that showed me its current functionality. The current read-only functionality allows for a better presentation of bank account information. These are just a few examples off the top of my head. Open Innovation and Crowdsourcing on the Rise.
Imagine that you are planning a big surprise party. You want it to be entertaining, spectacular, memorable and different. You could plan and project manage every element of the party yourself: the theme, venue, music, food, drink, entertainment, games, diversions etc. Or you could involve a number of people to help you with their ideas and their skills. One person could manage all aspects of the venue, someone else could design special decorations, another person could put together a music mix and so on. If you do it all yourself then you are in complete control, you have sole responsibility and you can keep the whole thing a surprise but you have to remember to do everything and it is only as good as your ideas.
If you bring in a group of friends and experts to help then you can harness their imaginations; you can bounce ideas off each other. There was a time not very long ago when companies primarily used closed models for all their new product development. Open Innovation.
