How do you implement Open Innovation? This has been a focus of research at the IfM, Cambridge University. There are many factors that are important including skills, motivation, culture and procedures.
This presentation addresses the 'culture' aspects of implementing Open Innovation.
Have you struggled to bring new features, products and services to market? If so, you aren’t alone, most companies struggle with these issues. You likely don’t have an execution problem. The real issue is that you’ve lost your ability to explore. The startup community has evolved disciplined practices that allow them to successfully navigate these highly uncertain environments. In this talk, you will learn how to scale these techniques to become effective, disciplined explorers who know how to balance execution and exploration inside the context of a large company. This will allow you to successfully navigate the uncertainty of bringing new features, products and services to market, while not sacrificing your ability to execute.

In other words, providing a means of delivering genuine benefits as well as genuine products?

3.0 Project 2_ Developing My Brand Identity Kit.pptxtanyjahb
A personal brand exploration presentation summarizes an individual's unique qualities and goals, covering strengths, values, passions, and target audience. It helps individuals understand what makes them stand out, their desired image, and how they aim to achieve it.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Should we have an OI group of not?....
Group or
Kodak experience of forming the KER OI group… no group,
who do you choose? you NEED
OI
‘not invented here’
champions
‘yet another buzz word’ / ‘we’ve been doing this for years’
difficulty recognising the need for change, and for THEM to change
lack of skills & confidence to work in this ‘new’ way
personality and skills
Observations on not forming an ‘OI group’…
‘It’s someone else's responsibility’ vs. ‘It’s everyone’s responsibility’

Experience at Kodak…
recognition that OI requires a different skill set
– not everyone can, or SHOULD do the ‘external thing’
the enormous value of the ‘double act’ approach
The strength of the KEA team
Cambridge Consultants – same thing again…

20. The OI team and the rest of the company – I’m just a gate keeper!
Recognition that the ‘OI team’ must ‘sell’ internally…
– “I thought I was ‘Kodak’ but actually not…”
“I need to understand what technologies Kodak is interesting in…”
– How on earth do I find out what Kodak needs?!!!!”
– Attempted to do internal needs list….. ha!
– Changing, dynamic, different priorities, different personalities…
– Heavily sanitised external needs list
– It’s down to the individuals ...
20 22 April 2010 S3908-P-082 v0.2
21. The OI team and the rest of your company
OI is a ‘contact sport’, inside and out – importance of point people
The importance of contextual / background understanding
– where has this idea come from?
• cultural awareness
• helps you recognise opportunities and real differentiation
Critical importance of senior sponsorship and commitment
22 22 April 2010 S3908-P-082 v0.2
22. The OI team and the rest of the World! - you must be open too!
You WILL be Googled!
You and your organisation!
Think about how you are perceived
Be wary of assumptions
Use websites, presentations,
brochures…to spread a consistent
message and awareness of needs
Use Social Media…
