The document discusses open innovation models and case studies of companies that successfully use open innovation. It describes two models of open innovation - one that starts by identifying a specific need and uses a competitive process to solve it, and one that starts by finding partners to explore broad opportunities cooperatively. Several companies are examined as case studies, including Novartis, P&G, McLaren, Lego, Orange, and ARM Holdings. Common themes across the successful models include superior information flow, trust between partners influencing each other, and developing new flexible business capabilities. The document advocates for open innovation through engaged networks and giving more than getting from partnerships.
Chapter 3 types and patterns of innovationMuhammad Anang
The path a technology follows through time is termed its technology trajectory. Technology trajectories are most often used to represent the technology’s rate of performance improvement or its rate of adoption in the marketplace.
Innovation is the glue between invention and investment, and transforms ideas into businesses. The process of innovation shapes your idea into something people will value and ultimately purchase.
The innovation process cycles through 4 key steps:
1) Ideas and Solutions
2) Business propositions
3) Business feasibility
4) Business planning

Disruptive Innovation describes a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves upmarket, eventually displacing established competitors.
The value of any technological innovation is only partly determined by what the tech-nology can do. A large part of the value of an innovation is determined by the degree to which people can understand it, access it, and integrate it within their lives. Effective deployment strategies can reduce uncertainty about the product, lower resistance to switching from competing or substitute goods, and accelerate adoption.

In an earlier Linkage webinar delivered by Lonney Gregory, we explored behaviors to develop an innovative mindset and stimulate creativity. We believe in order to stay ahead of the competition, individuals and teams must be creative and innovative. And while that is true, creativity and innovative behaviors alone won’t guarantee innovation initiatives will succeed. But what if you could hedge your bets on innovation and increase the likelihood of success; would you do it? In addition to engaging in ways of thinking that inspire breakthroughs, repeatable organizational processes, cultural adaptations, and clearly defined approaches for integrating it all, including handling risks, will significantly increase the likeness of success for innovation in your organizations. This next session on innovation will introduce three basic concepts that lead toward successfully enabling an innovation capable organization; one that drives innovation throughout the organization.
In this session, participants learn about:
1. Identifying market opportunities using one of the most profound approaches for understanding what consumers and non-consumers want by defining what Clayton Christensen calls the “Job to be Done”
2. How to lead ultra-productive solution seeking sessions based upon the world famous IDEO Design Thinking methodology.
3. Applying principles to overcome what Steven Shapiro calls the performance paradox and for growing high performance teams.

Structuring the "Fuzzy Front End of Innovation“ –
From Strategic Foresight to Implementable Technology and Product Innovations
Front End of Innovation EMEA, Feb. 4th, 2014 - Munich (FEI EMEA 2014)
Abstract:
In order to meet the increasing pressure to innovate driven by accelerated change in technologies and markets and by intensifying global competition, leading-edge companies need a systematic Strategic Foresight, by which emerging threats as well as future opportunities and potentials are anticipated at an early stage. Besides, an innovation management must be able to transform the detected needs and opportunities to innovate into implementable concepts for technology and product innovations, which includes the ability to handle the fuzzy input in the innovation process.
SPINNER, a worldwide leading company in passive radiofrequency technology, has developed a consistent proceeding, which bridges the gap from fuzzy future factors and strategic requirements to technology and product innovations. The presentation shows how SPINNER’s innovation management spots and evaluates future market demands as well as emerging enabling technologies, how innovation impulses are derived, and how innovation ideas are generated. It also addresses the involved methods and tools and explains how SPINNER’s Innovation Idea Evaluation System INES paves the way from fuzzy ideas to implementable concepts, prioritizing the most valuable ideas and allowing for dynamic steering under fluctuating conditions.

Webcast: Going From Messaging Nightmare to Messaging DelightAIPMM Administration
Thanks everyone who participated in this webcast from The Association of International Product Marketing and Management (AIPMM).
If you were to do a survey of executives, sales people, marketing and other market facing personnel within a company and ask them how they would describe a specific product to a potential prospect, I bet in the majority of cases, you would hear almost as many explanations as there were people interviewed. This really is a messaging nightmare that might be undermining the success of your product(s). This results in significant marketplace confusion, impacts revenue generation and reflects poorly on your product.
We as Product Managers and Product Marketers like to blame the messenger for this problem, but the likely reality is that we are at fault. As PMs & PMMs, we must own the message and then enable the organization to take this message to the market. The starting point for doing this is a Powerful Messaging Platform.

DAN Brand Accelerator: Client Pitch KeynoteJason Newport
Here is the Brand Accelerator pitch deck I began using to pitch current clients more than two years ago. I refined as we advanced through each phase once clients had signed on and we adjusted as necessary. I pitched this to more than twenty clients, all household brand names -- an converted each of them. Not a single brand declined to move forward.
In the world of the enterprise, innovation must extend from the initial ambitious ideas gathered from R&D labs around the world, all the way through applied R&D with industry partners, and into the development and commercialization of technology products and platforms.
Innovation starts with the spark of the right culture and talent meeting that ambitious and once hidden idea. But it doesn’t stop there. In the world of the enterprise, I see the practice of innovation as encompassing a full lifecycle. It starts with those crazy and ambitious ideas that are then iterated and shepherded through a rigorous process of applied R&D. For the ideas that finally prove their worth, new technology products
and platforms that address significant business problems are created and taken into the marketplace.
I call this multi-phase process: Full Lifecycle Innovation. It is a practical approach to one of the most creative and essential practices in business today:
Transforming Ideas form the Lab Into Marketplace Realities
The practice of Full lifecycle innovation requires a layer of processes, resources and decision criteria – each one a little different for the four phases of the journey:
1. Open Innovation
2. Applied R&D
3. Product and Platform Development
4. Commercialization
At each step, truly powerful events are triggered, explored and nurtured as different players, technologies and ideas enter the mix. All of them are serving the goal of creating something that is substantially bigger and more impactful than the simple sum of its parts. Something that is truly remarkable.
At NTT i3, we believe that Full Lifecycle Innovation is about:
Curating a culture of ambitious ideas
With rebellious talent from around the world
Dedicated to turning hidden opportunities into real products
That make a difference for the enterprise
Digital Transformation - Rethink The Business in The Digital Age

Novartis Value/Model
29 September 2013
Superior Information Flow
• Extends reach into consumer-facing and service-
based businesses (wholly alien to the historical
business model), plus geographical reach
• Relies on „the outside‟ to suggest what might be
possible
Trust = Power to Influence
• Demonstrating „citizenship‟ behaviour in the early-
stage markets, letting others spot the win-wins,
builds confidence about „perils‟ of dealing with a big
beast
Fitness
• Business model diversity/experimentation– positive
negotiation towards “the art of the possible”,
alliance building and „business model innovation‟
become core capabilities
• Learning how to learn, through working closely with
others with different core competitive advantages–
places firm well to act quickly as industry
changes/develops

P&G C&D Value/Model
29 September 2013
Superior Information Flow
• Helps avoid the „limits to inter-organisational
knowledge acquisition‟
(Dushnitsky & Shaver 2009)
• In-house and existing designer relationships are
based on past product successes– more diversity
should result in more „appropriate‟ fit and
knowledge from other cutting edge projects
Trust = Power to Influence
• Product designers who know that their P&G
relationship is ongoing will make choices about
other projects to pursue partly based on
prospective partnership opportunity. More
transparency from P&G = better chance of
designers making accurate investment choices
Fitness
• Avoiding path dependence, building more flexible
„docking points‟ for outside techs
• Speeding „search‟ and creating a beacon

LEGO Cuusoo Value/Model
29 September 2013
Superior Information Flow
• Rather than relying on only obvious and famous
sources of IP, the question
„will anyone want this‟ is answered in advance of
development investment
• Takes Lego into previously unknown niches in a
low-risk manner, helps
prevent the „gravitational pull‟ of past hits
dominating the future.
• Additional barrier to entry to competitors– flow
of “best” ideas coming to Lego
Trust = Power to Influence
• Pre-formed community, grateful to Lego for
producing set (potentially even
accepting of design compromises) and
evangelising for it
Fitness
• Superior cycle time

Orange Airlock Value/Model
29 September 2013
Superior Information Flow
• gaining access to ideas earlier in their lifecycle
than the previous norm
• including access to ideas that probably would
have failed for lack of distribution before growing
to scale and the „notice‟ of the team
• access to ideas that are really just ideas not fully
developed commercial propositions = cheaper to
acquire, though perhaps higher risk
Trust = Power to Influence
• Orange already „owned‟ the cutting edge of MNO
customer relationships with Orange Wednesdays-
- creating a community of content provision
SMEs reduces the risk that the next brilliant
version of this will go to the competition
• In Game Theory, costly signals are credible
signals. Self-denying ordinance sends the right
message to the whole community of designers.
Fitness
• Outside orientation by managers decreases pull of
legacy France Telecom culture on innovation
