Thoughts on open innovation sandro morghen yutongoSandro Morghen
English version of my observations and conclusions on Open Innovation.
Presented at Hochschule Lucerne, Switzerland on Ocotober 3rd, 2012.
Interesting questions from students were:
Question: Why do you pay innovators for their time/effort rather than to follow the winner takes it all approach? What if people performe weak in a process?
Answer: Because in our process it is not possible to allocate one single author to an idea. The creative content is based on our process setup, a collective result. This is why we pay everybody equally. We don't see Innovation as a game/contest, we see it rather as a form of crowd labour. Being is hard work and it doesn't take a genius. Based on the fact that all innovators answer a whole set of subquestions throughout the process, we can diffuse the risk of receiving bad content from one person. After all, it's just not fair. In our tests we weren't facing quality issues, but of course, had to deal with people who were trying to misuse the system. However, this issue remains manageable with our platform and approach. In our tests we measured about 5% of participants who tried to add random/sabotage content. We are very convinced that we can bring this number with the right quality management tools.
>>>
Question: Are you already online?
Answer: We have a functional prototype which is online but we are going to take it down as we are finalizing our commercial version of yutongo.
>>>
Question: Are you giving support to customers with setting up a project?
Answer: Not in a consulting sense. But the app is based on a step-by-step process and we put all our strength and own creativity in reducing complexitiy and the self explanatory character of the website. You shouldn't be an expert to setup a project with yutongo.

And a bunch of more questions I unfortunately can't remember. Thanks Hochschule Lucerne for having me and for asking questions. Asking question is very good advisor if you are planning to be creative. Creativity starts with asking the right questions!
Best!

IA Innovatiemanagement II. Voka Kempen. Sessie 1. Pieter Sprangers Américo Ma...Ikinnoveer
This document provides an overview of innovation concepts and frameworks. It discusses definitions of innovation, types of innovation, and conditions that support innovation. Key frameworks covered include open innovation, design thinking, co-creation, social innovation, management 3.0, and knowledge workers as drivers of innovation. The document also outlines pitfalls to avoid in innovation and compares approaches between start-ups and SMEs. Authors that are referenced in relation to different innovation topics are listed at the end.
This document discusses fostering innovation through frugality. It suggests that frugality can manifest in form, features, and functions through approaches like:
- Developing low-cost, modular solutions that allow adding features over time
- Designing products for circularity, affordability, durability, and multi-functionality
- Pursuing reciprocal open innovation to share ideas across sectors
Frugality is presented as a way to do more with less through grassroots innovation, adapting existing technologies, and meeting needs in novel ways. Nurturing frugal ideas involves incubation approaches like strategic trials and user-led modifications.
Management of Innovation in R&D_Chehroudi_LinkedInBruce Chehroudi
The document discusses key components for successful R&D organizations, including creative people, funding, and an organizational culture that values creativity and innovation. It also examines factors that influence innovation at both the individual and team levels, such as creative thinking skills, personality traits, team composition, and the climate for innovation within a team. The goal is to provide a framework for managing innovation effectively within R&D contexts.
1) Several large companies like Starbucks, Dell, and AT&T have implemented social innovation programs to crowdsource new product ideas from employees and customers.
2) Dell's IdeaStorm program has engaged over 60,000 registered users who have submitted over 17,000 ideas, with over 500 ideas being implemented.
3) AT&T's program engages over 100,000 members globally and generates over 500 ideas per month to solve business challenges. Top ideas progress through prototyping, pitching, development, and potential commercialization.
Types of Inventions; Difference between invention and innovation; Types of innovation; Innovation process vs Process innovation; Linear innovation models.. Technology push model, Market pull model; Flexible innovation process models
The document discusses the concept of diffusion, which is the process by which new ideas spread through social groups and become innovations. Diffusion is a type of social change that results from this process of a new idea being communicated and adopted by members of a social system. For an idea to result in social change, it needs to go through the diffusion process and be adopted by enough individuals to reach a critical mass and become self-sustaining. The rate of diffusion of a new idea depends on factors like its perceived advantages, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability.

This document discusses ideation, idea pitching, innovation, and the diffusion of innovation. It provides the following key points:
1. Ideation is the process of generating new ideas. Successful ideas meet needs and add value for audiences in a distinctive way. However, getting new ideas adopted can be challenging as people resist change.
2. When pitching ideas, it is important to know your audience, keep the idea simple, avoid rehashing old ideas, prepare yourself, be honest, define the scope of the idea, and address real needs. Effective pitching techniques include one-word pitches and question pitches.
3. Innovation involves turning creative ideas into reality through execution, while creativity is about generating new

ExactTarget recently released their 50 email marketing statistics for 2014, and there were a few stats that really caught our eye. Check them out in this short presentation — and keep them in mind as you plan your email strategy for 2014!
The document summarizes key findings from a survey on workplace productivity conducted in August 2013. It found that many employees feel overloaded at work, especially millennials who report higher rates of information and technology overload compared to older generations. The majority of employees prefer collaborating in person rather than online or by phone/video. Many would use wearable technology if it improved their job performance. Most employees multitask across multiple devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Ease of use is the most important factor for work applications. However, many companies lack clear policies around using personal devices or unauthorized applications.
This document outlines an ideation process that uses divergent and convergent thinking techniques. It involves two phases - a divergent phase where participants individually generate many ideas on post-it notes for designing a time measurement device for different user groups. This is followed by a convergent phase where the group discusses and votes on the ideas before selecting one concept to develop into a poster and present. The process aims to encourage quantity of ideas before judgment and brings ideas together through discussion, voting and concept development.

There is considerable talk about innovation in businesses of all sizes, from startups to multinational public companies. “Innovation” and “innovate” are the most overused words in business. Is innovation a specialty or can it be cultivated by an entire organization? How do you innovate? And is there a blueprint for innovation? We explore these questions, and how the key to innovation is ideation, in our first Slideshare presentation!
I can haz HTTP - Consuming and producing HTTP APIs in the Ruby ecosystemSidu Ponnappa
The Ruby ecosystem is pretty awesome when it comes to developing or
consuming HTTP APIs. On the publishing front, the Rails framework is
an attractive option because it supports publishing what are popularly
(but inaccurately) referred to as 'RESTful' APIs quickly and
effortlessly. On the consumer side, the Ruby ecosystem provides
several very fluent and powerful libraries that make it easy to
consume HTTP based APIs.
Since a significant proportion of projects today require that APIs be
both published and consumed, many of them wind up choosing Ruby as a
platform for the reasons mentioned above. This talk is targeted at
folks that are currently on such projects, or anticipate being on such
projects in the future.
We will cover:
Consuming HTTP APIs:
1) The basics of making HTTP calls with Ruby
2) The strengths and weaknesses of Ruby's Net::HTTP across 1.8, 1.9
and JRuby (possibly Rubinius if we have the time to do research)
3) Popular HTTP libraries that either make it easier to do HTTP by
providing better APIs, make it faster by using libCurl or both
4) Different approaches to deserializing popular encoding formats such
as XML and JSON and the pitfalls thereof
Producing HTTP APIs using Rails:
1) The basics of REST
2) What Rails gives you out of the box - content-type negotiation,
deserialization etc. and the limitations thereof
3) What Rails fails to give you out of the box - hypermedia controls etc.
4) What Rails does wrong - wrong PUT semantics, no support for PATCH,
error handling results in responses that violate the clients Accepts
header constraints etc.
4) How one can achieve Level 2 on the Richardson Maturity Model of
REST using Rails
5) Writing tests for all of this
At the end of this, our audience will understand how you can both
consume and produce HTTP APIs in the Ruby ecosystem. They will also
have a clear idea of what the limitations of such systems are and what
the can do to work around the limitations.
The document discusses using webcasting in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. Webcasting involves transmitting audio or video content over the internet and can encourage group work, improve oral and written communication skills, and open the classroom to the world. Different types of webcast programs are mentioned, like interviews, stories, news, and discussions. Advantages include developing competencies and interaction, while disadvantages include technological problems and being a new concept. The document provides examples of the author's experience with webcasting and recommendations for programs and tools to use for webcasting.

And “new” is risky.
You need the right tools to navigate the challenges of innovation. The tools must help you get ideas, select ideas, and build a business case that convinces your peers and managers to support your plan.
If you are responsible for the growth and management of an existing product, you need the right ideas that can create value for:
• your existing customers
• new customers and new markets
• the organization you work for
• yourself to make your career more successful
If you are creating new products – an item or service that doesn’t exist yet – you also need ideas. The right ideas that lead to value.
Attend the webcast to learn innovation systems, ideation methods, and other tools to go from idea to value.
