Open Innovation is a discipline whose time has come—Come join my two-hour workshop on Open Innovation at the Stamford Innovation Center on November 12, from 6:30 – 8:30 PM. Register HERE.
 

What is Open Innovation?

Open Innovation means breaking out of your organization’s insular process to co-innovate with outside parties, be they your customers, vendors/supply chain partners, universities, startups, users in current, future, adjacent markets, and more. 

Firms of all sizes are running innovation contests, creating IP marketplaces, launching accelerators, connecting to research institutes and universities, and looking outside to solve technical challenges by reaching across industries and across the globe.
 

Why You? Why Now?

We are in the era of collaborative and open innovation.  Whether your business is large or small, old or new, bricks-and-mortar, or digital, you can broaden your reach to leverage the brainpower of people on the outside. Are you a leader with no challenges? You may be able to find new sources of revenue by licensing out or selling your solution.
 

What Can You Expect?

After a quick look of Open Innovation and where/how it is being used to accelerate growth in various institutions, we will go through hands-on activities to help you look at your needs and discover the best open innovation techniques to address them. You will receive helpful materials, checklists, references for more information.
