Innovation Platform
                                     or Burning Platform...

Nokia’s CEO’s wake-up call to his firm’s “burning platform” - resulting from a failure to keep-up with innovation in the mobile space – is a timely reminder of how ‘platforms’ themselves are the
key to staying ahead of the game.

Maybe the new Microsoft tie-up will turn things round – maybe it won’t. But this short video of Henry Chesbrough is a neat summary of how innovation changed while Nokia wasn't looking.

It seems increasingly that key to building such innovation platforms - as with Google Android, now the largest mobile platform, and the Apple iPhone operating system - has been openness to
co-creation, and user-innovation. This not only applies to innovation strategy in the software space but, increasingly, in the product space, as articles in the New York Times and The
Economist have recently addressed. Summary: there appears to be a real price to be paid for a lack of openness in both product and software innovation.

                      “Whenever we see a business plan for a new

  • 25. Innovation Platform or Burning Platform... Nokia’s CEO’s wake-up call to his firm’s “burning platform” - resulting from a failure to keep-up with innovation in the mobile space – is a timely reminder of how ‘platforms’ themselves are the key to staying ahead of the game. Maybe the new Microsoft tie-up will turn things round – maybe it won’t. But this short video of Henry Chesbrough is a neat summary of how innovation changed while Nokia wasn't looking. It seems increasingly that key to building such innovation platforms - as with Google Android, now the largest mobile platform, and the Apple iPhone operating system - has been openness to co-creation, and user-innovation. This not only applies to innovation strategy in the software space but, increasingly, in the product space, as articles in the New York Times and The Economist have recently addressed. Summary: there appears to be a real price to be paid for a lack of openness in both product and software innovation.

  9. He wound up at an MIT conference for young pres- idents when coincidentally the subject of Linux came up. Perched in the lec- ture hall, McEwen listened intently to the remarkable story of how Linus Torvalds and a loose volunteer brigade of software developers had assembled the world-class computer operating system over the Internet. The lecturer explained how Torvalds revealed his code to the world, allowing thousands of anonymous programmers to vet it and make contributions of their own.\nMcEwen had an epiphany and sat back in his chair to contemplate. If Goldcorp employees couldn’t find the Red Lake gold, maybe someone else could. And maybe the key to finding those people was to open up the ex- ploration process in the same way Torvalds “open sourced” Linux.\nMcEwen raced back to Toronto to present the idea to his head geolo- gist. “I’d like to take all of our geology, all the data we have that goes back to 1948, and put it into a file and share it with the world,” he said. “Then we’ll ask the world to tell us where we’re going to find the next six million ounces of gold.” McEwen saw this as an opportunity to harness some of the best minds in the industry. Perhaps understandably, the in-house geol- ogists were just a little skeptical.\nMining is an intensely secretive industry, and apart from the minerals themselves, geological data is the most precious and carefully guarded re- source. It’s like the Cadbury secret—it’s just not something companies go around sharing. Goldcorp employees wondered whether the global com- munity of geologists would respond to Goldcorp’s call in the same way that software developers rallied around Linus Torvalds. Moreover, they worried about how the contest would reflect on them and their inability to find the illusive gold deposits.\nMcEwen acknowledges in retrospect that the strategy was controversial and risky.\n\nThe contestants had identified 110 targets on the Red Lake property, 50 percent of which had not been previously identified by the company. Over 80 percent of the new targets yielded substantial quantities of gold. In fact, since the challenge was initiated an astounding eight million ounces of gold have been found. McEwen estimates the collaborative process shaved two to three years off their exploration time.\n\nBut with 55,000 acres, nobody at Goldcorp could figure out where to look for the buried treasure. To avert a wild goose chase, McEwan shared on the Web Goldcorp's geological data going back to 1948 and offered $575,000 in prizes to those who could come up with the best way to find and extract the gold.\nParticipants in the contest found 55 drilling targets Goldcorp had not identified. Eighty percent hit pay dirt. "In fact, since the challenge was initiated, an astounding eight million ounces of gold have been found" and in four years Goldcorp's cost of production dropped 600%.\n\n

With a large number of participants evaluating a small number of ideas, the work of identifying the most promising ideas is significantly easier, and better.\nThe great thing here is that people will self-select to provide feedback. They naturally weigh in on what interests them.\n
