This document summarizes a presentation on effectuation and entrepreneurship. It discusses research by Sarasvathy comparing expert entrepreneurs to novices. Expert entrepreneurs take a effectual approach, focusing on available means rather than predictive markets. They expand resources by forming partnerships. The document also contrasts effectual and causal logic, noting effectuation focuses on controlling affordable losses rather than expected returns. It provides examples of how contingencies can create new opportunities rather than needing avoidance.

Open innovation is much more than just running a hackathonAndrea Boeri
Open Innovation has become a good source of competitive advantage for a growing number of established companies in the world. But what could be included in the Open Innovation perimeter?
To try and answer this question, this short presentation will cover the wide set of possible goals and approaches related to Open Innovation. They are associated with growing degrees of corporate commitment and expected benefits, ranging from exposure through one-off events all the way to structured partnerships between companies and startups, up to corporate investments in startups.
Based on a growing body of international experiences, it appears today possible to envisage more effective roadmaps and organizational solutions to effectively engage startups. It still remains a delicate act, which requires a lot of attention and skills on both sides.
Open Innovation: New Opportunities, New Challenges
Many companies are moving beyond the basics of open innovation making this new paradigm of innovation even more complex, challenging – and rewarding. This is the outset for this session with Stefan Lindegaard in which we get into these topics:
• the essentials: What open innovation is and why it matters?
• an overview of the mindset and skills needed to succeed with open innovation
• insights from companies on the leading edge of open innovation
Open Innovation And strategy includes the Long term growth of the company in which industries/technologies a firm wants to be active – new business development
Mentoring is becoming widespread in business environments, driven by its proven benefits. However, when mentoring startups, I found myself dealing with a few key questions, which I tried and address in this brief presentation. What are the main differences between mentoring in a corporate environment and mentoring a startup? Which roles can a mentor play when supporting a startup? What does it take to be effective at mentoring a startup? Is age a weakness or a strength? Mentoring a startup can be an extremely valuable experience for both sides. However, usually it is a delicate act, with common features but also significant differences vis-à-vis mentoring in a corporate environment.Mentoring a startup requires passion and a strong commitment, absolute integrity, professional experience, disciplined execution and a lot of attention throughout the process.
Open keynote presented 19 Sept 2013 at workshop “Strategizing open innovation: foundations for new approaches” at the University of Bath, School of Management.

As I have recently included some new content in my presentations and sessions, I would like to share these insights with you in the form of an updated presentation deck. Here, I focus on the the following views and messages:
- A general state of innovation and what you need to know about it these days
- What open innovation is and how it is relevant in the context of big companies and SME´s and startups
- What it takes to be successful with innovation today as an individual and as a team
When I give talks and sessions, I draw upon a comprehensive set of content which you can look further at www.innovationupgrade.com.
Innovation is Everyone´s Responsibility and Why Innovation MattersStefan Lindegaard
Innovation is Everyone´s Responsibility and Why Innovation Matters
Here you get my slides from a recent presentation in Turkey where I was asked to provide perspectives on innovation through two important questions / lenses:
Why innovation matters? My key message is that innovation matters if your company wants to stay relevant – and survive. It is that simple. Just consider this piece of information:
At the current churn rate, 75% of the S&P 500 firms in 2011 will be replaced by new firms entering the S&P500 in 2027. There is so much change and it is happening so fast. Innovation can mean many things, but it is a general understanding that it helps you fight irrelevance and helps you drive change rather than becoming a victim of it.
Innovation is everyone´s responsibility. I work with innovation on three levels; incremental, radical and “in between”. The latter is often the most relevant because it can really change things and have a strong impact while companies have a good chance of succeeding with this with the right setup, processes and people. Radical or disruptive innovation is highly desirable, but it is also very difficult to achieve. It requires a lot of luck as well as the right framework and conditions for this luck to happen. Very few organizations succeeds here.
While everyone in an organization should contribute to incremental innovation, I don´t think everyone should work with radical or “in between” innovation – at the same time that is. Most people just have to focus on the getting their daily jobs done. However, every employee should be given an opportunity to contribute to radical and “in between” innovation through corporate programs that could be based on the concept of intrapreneurship, incubators, accelerators or something similar.
When it comes to getting people to understand that everyone actually can contribute to all three levels of innovation, I like to use the Ten Types of Innovation framework by Doblin as it is a simple and visual concept that can open the eyes of the “unusual suspects” when it comes to innovation contribution.
Well, check my slides and let me know what you think. I am of course open for discussing a session or talk near you :-)

Foresight For Profitable Futures Mark OstrynMark Ostryn
Mark reviews what components drive long term business value: future vision, strategic flexibility, scalability, the team, acquisitions, alliances and partnerships and the creation of barriers to entry.
He then takes a case study approach to review how changes are taking place in education, construction, packaging, bakery and trucking.
Various tools for strategic planning are then considered including scenario analysis, adaptive scenarios, horizon scanning, scoping and competitive intelligence.
These tools are adapted to industry in a "collaborative foresight" framework using scanning, strategic thinking, networking and action planning in order to help entrepreneurs create a future vision.

The Garage Group on Bringing the Outside In: Collaborating with External Stak...The Garage Group
This is the deck from a talk we gave on Bringing the Outside In: Collaborating with External Stakeholders to Discover Insights and Build Big Ideas at the 2013 Cincinnati Innovation Summit.
Involving key stakeholders in innovation is a critical, but often overlooked criterion for success. Suppliers, influencers, third party buyers, customer gate keepers and other partners are not only critical to an initiative’s success, but they often have insight that can lead to bigger, better ideas.
This breakout session will share the importance of involving external stakeholders in the process of generating insights that lead to ideas; and in the process of developing, piloting and launching new initiatives. We’ll share 2-3 case studies to inspire participants to build an action plan (template to be provided) to map key stakeholders and specific action steps to involve them in a current or future innovation initiative.
