The document discusses open innovation and its applicability in the Nordic marine sector. It summarizes that open innovation is an important tool for the fragmented seafood industry as it allows for risk reduction, reduced costs, increased speed and success of innovation. However, most innovation in the sector focuses on product development, while greater value is found in innovations to processes, finance and distribution. The presentation argues that moving towards more open innovation practices that combine ideas from inside and outside companies could help create successful innovations and increased value across the seafood industry.

Title: Measuring and Managing Innovation – Innovation at Strategic Level
Innovation Norway: Innovation through collaborationNordic Innovation
Innovation through collaboration. This document discusses financing research and innovation in the health sector and success cases. It outlines how public R&D contracts can help innovative Norwegian suppliers by offering new products or solutions to demanding public customers. These contracts consider the level of innovation, market potential, specifications, and references. The document also highlights IMATIS, a Norwegian company that provides electronic whiteboards for real-time overviews and information access for Danish hospital partners.
This document discusses how new entrants from developing economies are challenging traditional ways of thinking about global competition. It provides examples of companies like Electrolux, Cycleurope, Mars, Haier, Tata, and others that have adopted strategies like acquiring local brands, centralizing production, focusing on emerging markets, and developing more affordable products to become successful global competitors. The writing warns that established firms must rapidly change their mindsets and strategies or risk losing significant market share to these new competitors, as growth is increasingly occurring in less developed markets with customers seeking more affordable options. Change must happen now for companies rather than waiting for some point in the future.
The document describes the Cost driven Approach to Regulatory burdens (CAR) methodology developed by SIRA Consulting to quantify regulatory burdens on businesses. The CAR methodology takes a business's financial administration as a starting point to identify and quantify the costs of legal obligations. It expresses these regulatory burdens as a percentage of total business costs. The CAR methodology was developed to support the Dutch government's goal of reducing regulatory burdens on competitive sectors of the Dutch economy by €2.5 billion. It aims to scope solutions and identify measures that lead to tangible burden reduction and increased competitiveness.

Green Business Model Innovation focuses on innovation in business models that decrease environmental impact. It includes life-cycle models like green supply chain management and take-back management, as well as functional sales models like selling a product's function as a service. Companies are embracing it due to rising resource prices, regulation, demanding customers, and investors. Case studies show positive financial and environmental results. Policies can promote it through funding, infrastructure development, and certification. Tools are also needed to help all companies work with green business model innovation.
Andrea Beltramello at Innovation Forum in Reykjavik, May 2012Nordic Innovation
This document discusses the need for green growth and innovation to address environmental challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss expected by 2050. It outlines the OECD's green growth framework and key policies like pricing pollution, subsidy reform, and supporting green technologies. Challenges include overcoming inertia in large capital investments and fostering both incremental and breakthrough innovation. Public research spending and policies need to guide technological change while balancing predictability with flexibility. International cooperation is also important for large environmental problems.

Introduction
The creation of successful products is essential for companies that want to grow or maintain a competitive advantage. Many organizations lack a clearly defined and understood product strategy. We will discuss the importance of the AIPMM Product Management Framework (PMF) to define and implement a process to conceive, plan and market your company’s products at each stage of their life cycle. We will identify key activities to align business and product strategy with unmet customer needs to create value for your business. We will describe the typical product life cycle from concept to launch and through product retirement. We will also discuss why growing organizations need to implement a formal product management process to support their product strategy.
Key Points:
* Why do you need to define a product strategy for your company?
* What are the benefits of implementing a product planning process?
* What do you need to create successful products consistently?

This document discusses driving innovation in the mature packaged gases market. It outlines six key strategic initiatives: 1) embedding technology in business strategy and linking it to market segmentation, 2) demanding differentiated offerings, 3) using an integrated cross-functional process, 4) driving voice of the customer input at all stages, 5) managing the gate process for moving innovations to commercialization aggressively, and 6) using tools and metrics to support cultural change toward innovation. The initiatives aim to shift from a supply chain focus to high value offerings in order to drive profit growth through differentiation rather than just cost reduction.
The document discusses the journey of the Hi-Technology Group from 2005 to the present in improving their business performance. Initially, they faced issues like low investment, poor training, and a major customer offshoring. Through benchmarking, they identified areas to improve like scheduling, inventory levels, and people skills. They implemented principles like customer focus, leadership, and continual improvement. As a result, their benchmark results showed excellence across customer satisfaction, safety, management, and other key areas. The business framework they developed helped create ownership and pride to lead to success.

This presentation explores some of the underlying issues responsible for declining pharma R&D productivity, and provides a new, fully integrated approach to reverse this trend by navigating R&D projects and portfolios through the risk-return landscape in real time.
A case study demonstrates how this system can be used in practice to improve the risk-return profile of a Phase 2 development project according to risk appetite.
This presentation focuses on R&D in the pharmaceutical industry, however the approach can be used to manage and optimize the risk-return profile of any business asset at any stage of its lifecycle, at any level, in any industry.

Jonas Törnblom, Director Marketing and Communication, Envac GroupNordic Innovation
Envac AB aims to contribute to better urban environments through innovative waste collection systems. Nordic countries can help rapidly urbanizing cities achieve UN sustainability goals through sharing best practices in areas like district heating and renewable energy. Key differences in Nordic governance include independent city finances, flat structures, solution-orientation, and trust between public and private sectors. Examples from Stockholm, like district energy networks using sewage and renewable sources, have inspired many but created little export. To increase exports of Nordic sustainable solutions requires intensified public-private cooperation at home and abroad, better documentation of best practices, communicating solutions in multiple languages, and educating foreign decision makers on the Nordic model.
