The document discusses innovation governance and three models: hierarchy/bureaucracy, new public management/market, and network. It presents examples of how governments have approached innovation funding and regulation using these different models. The text also examines a shift from government to multi-level governance and the case study of electronic health record innovation.
Historically there has been tension between governance and delivery. Governance folk are concerned with product teams running riot to the detriment of the company. Remember that 17% of innovation projects go so badly that they can threaten the very existence of the company. Product teams, on the other hand, often view governance activities as restrictive, unnecessary and burdensome, making things slow, expensive and occasionally acting as total blockers.
How do we bring these seemingly unreconcilable requirements together? What would governance look like in an ideal world for us to build great products and services, with minimum risk and maximum impact?
DuPont Chief Science & Technology Officer, Doug Muzyka, spoke at the 245th ACS National Meeting & Exposition on April 8, 2013. In his presentation "Success factors for Innovation: Meeting future needs for food, energy and protection" he details the unprecedented global challenges we all face globally, primarily due to increasing population. As a science company, DuPont believes that science can address these global challenges and find solutions, especially in the areas of food, energy and protection.
To be truly innovative to solve these challenges will require 3 critical success factors:
• True innovation must meet the real needs people have – it must be based on market-driven science
• Innovation is more powerful when it integrates knowledge & ideas across scientific disciplines, and
• We can be even more successful when we leverage global capabilities and apply them locally.
This document provides an assessment tool to evaluate the innovativeness of an organization.

TrendsSpotting uses this research to provide organizations with recommendations to improve innovation readiness.
The document discusses innovative assessment methods that are alternatives to traditional classroom exams. It describes open-book exams, project methods, oral assessments, problem-solving methods, and role-play methods. These innovative assessments are said to improve teaching and learning, facilitate deeper learning, provide feedback, identify strengths and weaknesses, stimulate students and staff, and help slow learners. The conclusion cites an education policy stating evaluation should be continuous to help improvement rather than only certification of performance.
This document provides an overview of successful innovation management. It discusses key challenges such as low success rates of innovation projects and the need for companies to continuously innovate.

It outlines key areas to assess, including strategy, human resources, marketing, technology, quality, and supply chain. A variety of tools are also presented to aid in innovation, such as technology audits, benchmarking, continuous improvement processes, design thinking, and quality function deployment. The overall message is that organizations must take a holistic look at their innovation capabilities and processes to identify areas for improvement.
This document presents an innovation map framework that defines and differentiates four main types of innovation: operational innovation, product and service innovation, strategic innovation, and management innovation. The map charts these according to whether they are internal or external focused and evolutionary or revolutionary. It provides descriptions of each innovation type and discusses how the map can be used to align innovation initiatives and focus discussions. The goal is to help organizations better define innovation objectives and outcomes.
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
This document discusses creativity and innovation. It argues that creativity involves combining existing ideas to create something new. True innovation requires challenging existing ways of thinking and taking customers' perspectives. Innovation is difficult because companies tend to benchmark each other, leading to similar approaches. The document advocates rethinking how companies are run to foster a culture where new ideas are welcomed, risks are embraced, and failure is accepted as part of the learning process. Speed and action are important for innovation to succeed.
1) Innovation is the introduction of a new idea, product or process into the marketplace. It involves invention plus commercialization.
2) Organizations must innovate on a continuing basis to survive in a rapidly changing economy. The goals of innovation include improving quality, creating new markets, and reducing costs and environmental damage.
3) Sources of innovation include organizational structure, management tenure, slack resources, and interunit communications. Types of innovation include product/process, open/closed, incremental/radical, and modular/architectural innovations.

Presentation of the Access ICT Project- Internet of Things 2011 Congress - Br...Miguel Ángel Trujillo
The ACCESS ICT Project aims to help FP6 and FP7 funded ICT research projects and SMEs become investment ready and connect with business angels and venture capitalists through free coaching, tools, and introductions. The project is led by EBAN, the European Trade Association for business angels and early stage investors, and seeks to increase cross-border investment in ICT innovations and foster an entrepreneurial financing ecosystem in Europe.
This document summarizes information presented by Dr. Robert Bunn on opportunities for ICT teams in Horizon 2020. It discusses Invest Northern Ireland's support for collaboration. Horizon 2020 is the EU's €70.2 billion research and innovation program covering 2014-2020, focusing on business opportunities and simplifying participation. It has three priorities: excellent science, competitive industries, and better society. Funding rates depend on the type of project. The presentation outlines support available to help companies and academics prepare collaborative R&D applications and find partners. It encourages attendees to start planning participation in Horizon 2020.
This document provides information about European funding opportunities for research, development, and innovation projects. It outlines several key European programmes, including the 7th Framework Programme, Eurostars, and Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs. It also describes the process for applying for funding, identifying partners, and getting assistance from National Contact Points and the Enterprise Europe Network. The document aims to help interested organizations and entrepreneurs benefit from European grants and funding.
The document provides an overview of Horizon 2020, the EU's €80 billion research and innovation program. It discusses who can participate in Horizon 2020, how to apply, the application process, finding partners, and evaluation criteria. Horizon 2020 aims to fund excellent science, industrial leadership, and address societal challenges. In the first year, over 36,000 proposals were submitted requesting €80 billion in total, with over 4,000 proposals selected for funding and a success rate of around 14%.
The document outlines a pilot project run by the Improved SME Competitiveness and Innovation Project that aims to develop communication and collaboration between enterprises and research organizations in Serbia, with a focus on helping companies apply to the 2011 CIP Eco-innovation call by offering coaching on proposal development and partner finding. The project will work with companies in selected thematic fields like eco-innovation, ICT, materials, and food processing to specify research projects, identify relevant funding programs, and assist in preparing competitive project proposals.
Similar to Women in innovation management - Networks in Innovation Funding (20)
This Project is funded by the European Union. The document provides an overview of EU funding programmes for innovation including:
1. Different funding sources such as structural funds, community programmes, and external cooperation programmes.
2. Main EU funding programmes like Horizon 2020, COSME, and Life which support research, SMEs, and the environment.
3. Practical advice on developing EU projects and partner networking.
This document discusses Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP), which involve partnerships between businesses and knowledge-based organizations like universities. KTPs employ associates to work full-time transferring knowledge from the knowledge-based partner to help the business partner solve strategic problems over 1-3 years. Case studies show benefits for both partners, with businesses gaining new technologies and associates gaining work experience. KTPs can benefit businesses of any size seeking to advance applied research.
This document summarizes key aspects of EU state aid rules for research, development, and innovation (R&D&I). It outlines the EU's objectives to strengthen the scientific and technological base in Europe and achieve 3% of GDP spending on R&D by 2020. It describes the concept of state aid under EU law and the Commission's role in approving state aid measures to ensure they are compatible with the internal market. The document also summarizes the EU framework for state aid for R&D&I, which aims to enhance economic efficiency and growth through public support for R&D&I activities. It outlines eligible beneficiaries and costs as well as rules for assessing whether aid is compatible.
The document discusses innovation and competitiveness support programs in Serbia. It provides an overview of Serbia's transition from a Soviet-style system to a market economy and the challenges of developing a National Innovation System (NIS). Key points include:
1) Serbia still follows a linear model of innovation rather than an integrated system approach. Support focuses on R&D financing rather than knowledge transfer or entrepreneurship.
2) Successful innovation requires adapting and improving imported technologies through domestic R&D, yet Serbia's R&D system remains disconnected from industry.
3) Building a functional NIS involves restructuring fragmented S&T institutions, emerging new actors, and integrating innovation activities across sectors - a process Serbia is still

2. FINDING PARTNERS
This Project is funded by the EU
Important
• There is no FP7 R&D project without at
least 3 partners from 3 countries
17 October 2012 2
3. Finding Partners - Possible Options
This Project is funded by the EU
• Previous or current project partners
• Business partners
• Internal company networks
• Information Days and other events
• Public Partner Search: Cordis, IDEAL-IST
• Specific Support Actions
• Scientific publications

• Scientific conferences and seminars
17 October 2012 3
4. Possible Options
This Project is funded by the EU Approaching Existing Contacts
This is the main method used by organisations based
on “word of mouth” and previous collaborations and
exchanges
• MAIN ADVANTAGES: fast access to contacts, trust
and common working language based on previous
collaboration
• DISADVANTAGES: if you don’t open up further, you
may be “stuck” with limited or unsuitable contacts
17 October 2012 4
5. Possible Options
This Project is funded by the EU
Public Partner Search (Cordis, Ideal-IST, EEN,
etc)
To be used when the CONFIDENTIALITY of the project
is NOT CRITICAL or the project DESCRIPTION TOO
VAGUE for any competitor to “steal” the idea
• MAIN ADVANTAGES: very fast, high yield
• DISADVANTAGES: many unsuitable offers, info
often not directly comparable

10. Rules of Behaviour
This Project is funded by the EU
Partner Responsibilities…
• Grant access to own IPR and own pre-existing know-
how if relevant to project
• Sharing of results
• Compliance with EU contract stipulations
• Fulfilment of technical role
• Good communication between partners
17 October 2012 10
11. Sources for finding partners
This Project is funded by the EU
There are numerous tools, databases, or services around to
help finding partners, for example:
CORDIS Run by the EC, covering all FP7 programmes and calls.
Based on profiles and explicit requests/offerings.
Large database, but often not very call specific results
IDEAL-IST Exclusively for the ICT Theme. Active participation
requires a proposal outline which is “quality checked”.
Search is open. Very call specific but few opportunities.
EEN Focus is on enterprises, not academia. Very good for
technology offers and requests, can be used for FP7 R&D
if application/industry partners are needed.
Linked-In A more personalised network of professionals. Many
groups around FP7, but more on “meeting” people, rather
than parameterises search functions.
17 October 2012 11
12. Sources for finding partners
This Project is funded by the EU
… and one more source of finding partners, most likely the most
important one:
Information Days and Conferences
A good example is the ICT Proposers Day 2012 resulting in a
large collection of ideas (http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/cf/ictpd12/stream-
items.cfm?id=177&by=175)
You need to be well prepared for such events, precise proposal
idea, short and clear profile of your organization with respect to
this idea, and well acquainted with the relevant work-
programme.

13. Sources for finding partners
This Project is funded by the EU
CORDIS Partners Service
• The Partners Service is a free on-line service, tailor-
made to help you to find the best research partners for
your projects, either in the context of EU-funded R&D
projects or within a broader search for technology-
orientated partnerships.
• It is open to everybody, there is no quality check of
published proposal ideas!
