Why local open innovation?

Innovation =
disciplined problem solving

Open innovation = Increasing the productivity of problem solving
Open innovation is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation, and expand the markets for external use of innovation, respectively

Open innovation is
the formal
discipline and
practice of
leveraging the
discoveries of
unobvious others
as input for the
innovation
process through
formal and informal
relationships.
Frank Piller *Note: the informal relationships constitute
the "innovativeness" of open innovation!
Opening Innovation
openness to outsiders =
new ideas – new visions –
breakthrough
11
Open
= broad, free, undefined,
distributed, shared
13
How to make these
connections?
14
Broadcast Search
15
15
Broadcast Search
"Seeker" broadcasts a (technical)
problem to an undefined (and
generally large) network of "solvers"
in form of an open call
16
16
From market places
(for technologies) to
problem places for solutions
17
But how open is open
enough? Or can there be
too much openness?
19
Intimacy
or: The power of Q

Research on composition of 2254 musical
productions at Broadway (1945-1989),
measurement of connectivity and ties between
members of the production team.
Calculation of social intimacy measure Q =
How much do team members
know each other already?
Successful musical: Q=2.6
Low Q (<1.4) vs. High Q (>3.2)

Success factor for R&D:
Creating (extended) teams
for innovation with the
right Q

The case for going local

Opening a domain to outsiders

Approach
The Concept
1 – Problem Sourcing *
* Term introduced by Sally Davenport
2 – Problem Selection
3 – Problem Broadcasting
4 – Seeking solutions workshop
QSS 2010 edition Highlights
• 9 companies / 10 problems • 175 participants (paying 200$ to participate)
• Results :
• 60% of the seeking companies have stayed in contact with people met during the event near to one year after the event
• The largest perceived impact is the networking • Real business opportunities appeared : at least three contract
have been signed • 50% of the seeking companies are actively working on solutions
suggested during the event and collaborate with partners met during the event.
Kruger’s problem: finding a new product
• A problem with critical consequences • Finding innovative applications using offline coaters or the
manufacturing plant in Trois Rivières closes down
• The solution: • paper tarpaulin instead of plastic • Opening to outsiders of the domain: agro-environment • Proof of concept in the field : feasibility has been demonstrated
• .5 M$ grant for a project between Kruger, FPInnovation and IRDA
and 3 other industrial partners
QSS 2012 edition Highlights
• 9 Seeking companies, • 162 potential solvers over 2 days
• Results:
• Real solutions • A complex problem solved thanks to a very simple idea with a
simple tool (commodity in another industry) • Real business opportunities
• Solution that helps a SME saving costs and creating new sourcing strategy
• Side effect: cultural changes inside the participating companies • 7/9 of company would participate again • Networking
« I got a lot of very fruitful contributions today. The more we advanced in the day, the simpler the solutions became. I would never had thought this type of exercise would go that way.
I liked it a lot. I came with a white page and I leave with 4 potential solutions. That’s very promising !
Thanks for the process »
