7 Steps for Open Innovation by @Lindegaard: Grading Your Company’s Open Innov...Stefan Lindegaard
Here you can check out my PowerPoint deck for my new concept:
7 Steps for Open Innovation: Grading Your Company’s Open Innovation Capabilities
The premise is that if your company is not already fully engaged with open innovation efforts, it is way behind. This is evident by looking at the number of companies around the globe that today embrace the use of external partners and input into their innovation efforts.
But even though companies continuously launch new initiatives designed to help them leverage the power of outside knowledge and resources to drive innovation forward, there is a sense within these companies that they can do better and take this new innovation paradigm to an even higher level.
They are also eager to get external perspective to make sure they are maximizing results by using best practices in all aspects of their open innovation efforts.
To help companies with this evaluation, I have developed a seven-step assessment tool that helps them evaluate these key areas:
1. Common Language and Understanding, Motivation, Mandate and Strategic Purpose
2. Assets and Needs
3. Value Pools and Channels
4. Internal Readiness
5. External Readiness
6. New Skills and Mindset
7. Communications Strategy
This assessment tool will help companies identify where they may be falling short in any of these key areas as well as provide ideas and insights on how to make the necessary improvements that will give more power to their open innovation efforts.
This is still work in progress, but you can get an idea of what this is about by checking out my presentation here
It would be great to hear your early feedback on the content itself as well as your thoughts on what I should do with the concept itself. Maybe it would be more valuable for the open innovation community as some kind of an open source project? What do you think?
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 :-)
How can big and small companies innovate better together? That is the focus of my upcoming book and this presentation. In my talk, I get into topics such as:
- what open innovation is
- the differences between big and small companies
- why big companies need small companies
- why things go wrong

A Benchmark for Open Innovation: How Good is Your Company?Stefan Lindegaard
In this presentation, I share my benchmark views on how open innovation in general has been adapted over the years. The benchmark is based on my free e-book, 7 Steps for Open Innovation.
Stop Talking About Innovation!
We need to limit the use of the word and the term “innovation” and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.
This is the radical outset for a keynote or a session in which Stefan Lindegaard challenges common beliefs on innovation, explain why most companies fail with their efforts to become more “innovative” and share insights on how to build the capabilities that can help companies and organizations survive and prosper in these times of fast change and strong disruption.
The key messages:
- Focus on corporate transformation and digitalization – or die!
- Link your efforts to the challenges of your stakeholders and increase your ROI
- Work with the unusual suspects; internally as well as externally
- Focus on people, people and people – and upgrade their mindset and skills
- Learn to communicate better and differently – or fail!

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
What is the Benefit of an Open Innovation Process?Jose Briones
Open Innovation is now a very fashionable term and many companies are rushing to implement an open innovation process without fully understanding its value nor how it fits within their existing product development process. In this Chapter of the “Beyond Stage Gate” series we will discuss the different definitions of Open Innovation, where does it fit in the development cycle, software tools available and a case study. We will show how Smarty Ears, a developer of iPad apps for Speech Therapy and Communication, has used open innovation to greatly increase the number of ideas to market, as well as accelerate the product development cycle.

Be Competitively Unpredictable! - Make it happen with innovationStefan Lindegaard
Competitively unpredictable: two words that spell the key to success in today’s fast paced, highly competitive business arena. If your company has the ability to consistently outmaneuver the competition in ways they never see coming, then the future is bright.
Why is being competitively unpredictable so essential now? One key reason is the ever-shrinking window of opportunity. In the past decades, depending on your industry, you could count on having three or five or even seven years after bringing something new to market to make good money before you needed to come up with the next new thing to keep revenues growing.
This is no longer the case. While the pace of innovation used to be fast but still manageable, now the window of opportunity is getting shorter and moving faster so you’re forced to innovate ever faster. One of the best examples is the mobile phone industry where they are now counting in months.
Open innovation and business model innovation are key concepts for becoming competitively unpredictable and in this session Stefan Lindegaard shares his views on how companies can embrace these concepts in order to bring better innovation to market faster.
Specifically, he provides:
• an overview of the current state of innovation and what the future will bring us
• examples on how leading-edge companies merge open innovation and business model innovation
• insights on why companies must embrace failure for better innovation
• insights on how companies can use social media for their innovation efforts
Riding on the Currents of Innovation to Supercharge Employee RelationsJoris Claeys
Organizations don't innovate! People do!
Breaking down silos – making things happen!
Building the NEW! Cultivate change! Do it with PASSION!
Enabling intrapreneurship through innovation champions, change agents and wave makers!
Leaders need to cultivate, hone-in and strategically unleash intrapreneurship across their organization or team.
Key to cultivating intrapreneurship is transparency: foster a healthy environment, where intrapreneurs flourish
Many want what innovation delivers, but aren’t prepared to do what it takes!
Organizations and leadership need to be AGILE – ADAPTIVE – RESPONSIVE
Creating an agile culture fosters forward thinking innovation!
Capacities bring forward your uniqueness, through emphasizing on your strengths and knowing your limitations for ourselves, team, company and ultimately the extended enterprise in which you operate. Resulting in effective collaboration – co-creation – co-design
Adaptive innovation cultures and human innovation capacities encourage ability to spot unique opportunities.
Landscape of the future
Why the career ladder no longer matters!
From hierarchy to lattice!
More companies look at alternative structures & why you should too.
CXO’s should experiment with ‘next stage’ organizations.
TEAL is the new green+blue addressing

This would be amazing! but we could never do this because …
“People from all ranks sense but hide the real pains, that something is broken in the way we run organizations. We need to create a whole ecosystem of support for organizations going Teal” – Frederic Laloux
“The ground beneath us is shifting at an accelerating rate. The implications for strategy are profound!” – John Hagel
“The truly creative changes and the big shifts occur right at the edge of chaos. Creativity is not an option, it’s an absolute necessity!” – Sir Ken Robinson
It’s imperative to bring creativity to learning!
Enabling us to be innovative!
Without change of mindset
real magic cannot be expected!

The People Side of Innovation
These days, there is much talk about open innovation, business model innovation and innovation culture. These are important topics, but the most significant element to anything related to innovation will always be people.
It is people that make things happen and this is you, your colleagues, your customers and other external partners that you engage with to bring innovation to market.
It is not that long ago that a good innovator was considered to be a good engineer or R&D person. However, things have changed big time over the last 5-7 years as the open innovation and business model innovation movements continue to rise while companies have failed to upgrade their innovation capabilities during the financial crisis.
In this talk, Stefan Lindegaard will explain the consequences of these changes as he looks into the skills and mindset that are required to be a good innovator in this era of “modern innovation,” which is driven more by openness and business models than internal R&D and patents.
The topics include:
• 7 critical personal competencies for innovation success
• an overview of the types of people and functions you need for a strong innovation team
• insights on the key elements for corporate innovation training programs
• a view on why some people kill innovation – and how to deal with them
Here you get the latest of my presentations where I share messages such as:
“We need to rethink the term “innovation” and we should drop the term “innovation culture” entirely.”
“Four global megatrends drive business today: Everything moves faster, everything will be connected, knowledge is transparent and disruption hits harder and faster.”
“Getting ideas and working with them in the early stages is the easier part. The execution is what really matters. We have begun the transition phase.”
“The role of the CTO has changed as real value creation no longer is centered around technology or product itself. Services, processes and business models are key. The internal power needs to shift.”
“Disruption hits much harder and much faster than ever before. You can’t plan for disruptive or radical innovation, but you can be sure you will be disrupted.”
“Don’t talk about innovation. Focus on how you can transform your company based on values, assets, partners, threats and opportunities.”
“The organizational structures need to change. They are not build for the upcoming challenges and opportunities and we need to experiment much more on what will work the best for the future of business.”
“Strong organizations do four things very well: They listen, adapt, experiment and execute better than their competitors.”
“There is no digital strategy. Just strategy in a digital world.”
“If you want to change the perception inside your organization, the outside voice is the most important.”
“People first, processes next, then ideas. The key for execution is people – don´t focus too much on ideas and projects.”
“Discovery – Incubation – Acceleration: Have the right people for the right project at the right time in the right context. Build people pools, not just project pools.”
“Strong change teams know they can´t do it by themselves; they become facilitators and integrators. Education is a key objective.”
…and a short story that I really like:
“A CFO is wary about investing in the training and education of the employees.
He asks the CEO: ”What happens if we invest in developing our people and then they leave our company?”
The CEO is a bright person and replies: ”What happens if we don’t and they stay?”

People are fed up with innovation so we need to tone down the use of the word and the term “innovation” - and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.
This is the radical outset for this session in which Stefan Lindegaard challenges common beliefs on innovation, explain why most companies fail with their efforts to become more “innovative” and share insights on how to build the capabilities that can help companies and organizations survive and prosper in these times of fast change and strong disruption.
The key messages:
- Focus on corporate transformation and digitalization – or die!
- Link your efforts to the challenges of your stakeholders to increase ROI
- Work with the unusual suspects; internally as well as externally
- Focus on people, people and people – and upgrade their mindset and skills
- Learn to communicate better and differently – or fail!

VidenDanmark holdt den 23. marts 2010 møde hos MillionBrains om åben innovation og videndeling. Sam Kondo Steffensen fra MillionBrains fortalte deltagerne fra VidenDanmark om baggrunden for MillionBrains-projektet - og om hvad idéen er med platformen. MillionBrains er rigtig åben innovation - man kan lægge Challenges ud - og alle kan melde sig ind som Brains. På sigt vil man nok være lidt kritiske ift. hvilke challenges, der kan lægges ud. MillionBrains bygger på en teknoligi - der arbejder semantisk - i stedet for søgeteknologi ønskes det modsatte - at informationen kommer til dig - på baggrund af opsamlede data.

We need to connect human factors with digital capabilities to reduce failures and enhance successes within corporate innovation. That is the object of AICI.
Leadership in the Era of Innovation - A Case Based PresentationStefan Lindegaard
I recently did a session in Helsinki, Finland on leadership in the era of innovation. My approach was interactive as I developed three short cases for the audience. We deep-dived into one of the, The Frustrated Innovation Team and very briefly discussed the other two.
Here you can see the presentation slides (very simple as I focused on interaction and discussion).
Are you looking for insights on how a large company approaches open innovation? Well, then you should check out this presentation by Lucia Chierchia, Open Innovation Manager at Electrolux.
Lucia provides a good overview of how – and why - an open innovation function works within a large organization. This includes insights on the role and responsibility for the team and how they work with challenges as part of their strategy.
Thanks for letting me share this, Lucia!
Since the term crowdsourcing was coined eight years ago, the idea of tapping the knowledge, opinions, and ideas of the crowd has spread quickly and evolved in interesting ways. Today, every industry has examples of crowdsourcing and how it has helped with their innovation goals. In this webinar, Stefan Lindegaard provides history lessons, a present overview and future predictions on the benefits and challenges that come with crowd sourcing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Open Innovation: New Opportunities,
New Challenges
Hey! Freebookson 15inno.com!
2.
3. Faster pace, shrinking window of opportunity,
less time for cash cows
Open innovation and biz model innovation is
key for becoming competitively unpredictable!
We need a more holistic approach to innovation!
4. What is open innovation?
“…a philosophy or a mindset that they should
embrace within their organization.
This mindset should enable their organization
to work with external input to the innovation
process just as naturally as it does with
internal input”
Open innovation as a term will disappear in 5-
7 years!
5. Employees SuppliersManagers Academics /
institutions
Executives VCsAlumni Startups
Business unit
/ function
Users /
consumers
Government
Competitors Inventors
Educate internally and externally – there’s
no point being alone on the playground!
8. Go beyond the obvious areas!
Participation is the new brand
We have no choice!
9.
10. Current pilot projects:
• "People are much more likely to act their way into a new way of
thinking, than think their way into a new way of acting."
• Richard Pascale
• Therefore we run pilot projects
• - in our production area (solving hard, “unsolvable” problems)
• - on improving the core LEGO experience through crowdsourcing
• - on how to improve core HR processes
• - on an Open Innovation platform
11. Develop the right conditions and framework
Be competitively unpredictable
Change how we innovate
12. 110 sites identified, 50% unknown, 80% produced
Australian groups developed 3-D map of the mine
Goldcorp shared all their data in March 2000
1,000+ people joined; many from outside industry
13.
14. Inditex / H&M: Value
chain innovation on
steroids
Microsoft Kinect: New
technology, new markets
Better Place: Establishing
new ecosystem
Premium Ingredients: Mini-
factories and communities
Apple
P&G
GE
Natura
Grundfos
Rolls-Royce
22. Better internal collaboration, less silo mentality
= internal open innovation?
Don’t invite guests if you house is not in order!
What is open innovation? Where do we start?
Are small companies afraid of us? Who is in
the driver’s seat and who is in the back?
23. Upgrade your innovation mindset and toolbox!
Identify the types of external input / value pools
that fit your situation!
Start innovating on how you innovate
(experimentation, small bets, quick wins)
Work the internal and external stakeholders!
Become better communicators!
25. No networking culture? No innovation culture!
- future winners get communities to work!
Organizations must embrace experimentation
– and the failures that come along with it!
Only a truly burning platform or fully aligned
executives can change an innovation culture!
26. Grass-root: Big potential if supported properly!
Open up: Difficult, but the only way forward!
20% free time: You can’t copy this!
Top-down: Go from event to capability to culture!
27. Intrapreneurship is an overlooked tool:
“Intrapreneur: a person within a large
corporation who takes direct responsibility for
turning an idea into a profitable finished
product through assertive risk-taking and
innovation.”
American Heritage Dictionary, 1992
28. The Danfoss Group (Case Study)
• A leader in development and production of mechanical and electronic
products and controls
• 26,000 people and 3,7 billion EUR in revenues
• 3 main divisions
29. “I believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary. But the facts of the
matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the
national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-
range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time
so as to insure their fulfillment.”
30. The Man on The Moon competition
• To identify and develop new ventures thatcreatessignificantgrowth
and/orstrategicadvantages
• To spot and develop talent
• To change the culture and establish”intrapreneurship” as a fourthcareerpath
33. “…an intrapreneur must have the ability to see and pursuepossibilities by
piecingtogether innovations acrossthreeor more business
functionssimultaneously.”
Paul Campbell, former VP, HP
34. A career path for trouble-makers?
“When someone tries to innovate within a traditional
organization,few will understand what he/she is doing,
but everybody will understand who is a trouble-maker.
After the innovation has been embraced by the
organization,few will remember who started it,
but everybody will remember who was a trouble-maker.
This is the dilemma encountered by many intrapreneurs
-they risk punishment for success.”
David Nordfos, Stanford
35.
36. You need a common language / under-
standing to frame and work with the issues!
37.
38.
39.
40. Every corporate culture is innovative! Find the
pockets, build the foundation and perception
44. Only network if you have a purpose!
Know your needs – different types / efforts!
Committed executives and high-level managers!
Social media is a key networking tool today!
47. Small failures are accepted, but not big ones:
47 %
Failure is not accepted here:
7 %
More than half of the companies do not
recognize failure as an inherent part of an
innovation culture!
48. “Two types of failure:
- honorable failure is where an honest attempt at
something new or different has been tried
unsuccessfully and
- incompetent failure where people fail for lack of
effort or competence in standard operations.”
Credit: Paul Sloane
49. There are no quick fixes because the top
executives that got us into this mess are not
ready to lead us out of it!
50. Too much focus on products, technology
Silo rather than collaborative approaches
Poorly defined innovation strategy (if any)
Lack of resources (budget, people, infrastructure)
Unrealistic expectations on time, resources
53. They lack communication skills and efforts!
They lack the courage to speak up!
They do not innovate on the innovation process!
They do not develop their mindset and toolbox!
54.
55.
56. 1) Intrapreneurial skills
2) Networking talent
3) Communication skills
4) Strategic influencing
5) Adaptive fast learner
6) Balanced optimism
7) Tolerance for uncertainty
8) Passion
57.
58.
59. It must be a key objective for corporate innovation
teams to educate – up as well as down!
60.
61. If you want to change a culture, you should
reward behaviors as well as results!
TBX(O) – Sometimes middle-managers hinder
innovation just by doing their job!
People first, processes next, then ideas!
62. Get in touch!

Editor's Notes
It would be good to have some context of when intrapreneurs work and how companies should idenfty, nuture and reward them and what are the circumstances when they don’t work and are couterproductive?
