Seeding Innovation on Home Ground – Four Tips to Build a Culture of Open Innovation

As technology advances, companies receptive to new ideas, equipment or methodologies – regardless of their source or origin – are more likely to see gains in productivity and adapt better to changing market conditions. However, creating a culture of open innovation within an organization can be challenging, especially when internal stakeholders are mired in ensuring bread and butter operations run smoothly. Here, we highlight some tips to help corporations focus their open innovation efforts:
  • Address outdated beliefs such as innovation can only come from within
  • Compile problem statements to prioritise areas to tackle
  • Broadcast your intent to co-create with the innovation ecosystem
  • Have patience and tolerate failure – innovation takes time
Read the original article here. For more information on IPI’s open innovation platforms, please reach out to [email protected].

Yours faithfully
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
