What is open innovation and how does it work? Open innovation occurs when individuals look for outside of their own organization, knowledge, experience and industry. Some years ago, an aircraft engineer attended an Indy car race and was intrigued by the vertical wings on the cars. He questioned the crew engineers and learned that they were added to increase fuel economy and stability. Hence, the upturned wings you see on commercial aircraft today.
What innovation is NOT….. it is not just a great idea. Businesses must make profits to survive. If an idea offers no market value or bottom-line improvement for operations, then it is simply an idea. It is not innovation. Professional facilitation keeps innovation on track
