Listening to the Community• Does the community exist?• Does the collaboration platform
exist?• Do you have the brand power to
motivate participants?• What’s in it for the participants?• What changes are needed to
ensure your org. is receptive to outside ideas?
• How will you deal with ideas that are accepted and rejected?
Leverage the Community• Where do the skills and
experience I need live and how do I connect with them?
• Can I modularize my problem so it can be farmed out?
• How does this limit potential solutions to my problem?
• What changes are needed to my IP governance process to deal with external IP?
• How do I avoid N.I.H resistance?
Innovating within the Community• What’s my motivation for
innovating within a community?• Does a community exist or do I
need to create it?• What role do I want to play in the
community?• Am I willing and able to ‘give to’
as well as ‘take from’ the community?
• How does my governance model need to change to accept shared IP?
• How does my org. structure need to change to accept shared IP?
Conclusion• Red Hat’s story is an example of how community-driven
innovation drives not only ‘doing more with less’ but creates results that benefit our customers and the community
• The Red Hat model may not be the starting point for everyone, but there are many other great examples of companies that are bridging the gap between internally and externally-driven innovation
• Think about motivations for community-driven innovation: what are your motivations, how will your community participants be motivated
• Think about how your organization needs to change to accept community input.
