OI has emerged as a new paradigm that acts as force multiplier
and accelerator for an organization’s internal innovation
efforts. OI approaches, including challenges, contests and
communities, help to eliminate internal bottlenecks in
knowledge, skills, schedules, and budget by engaging the
rest of the world in a company’s innovation-related problem
solving efforts. Organizations using OI approaches have
reported better, cheaper and faster solutions that help
meet internal innovation objectives. However, navigating
the current landscape of OI approaches and understanding
the internal issues with adopting an external perspective is
a signifi cant barrier to the effective utilization of OI in an
organization.
The Open Advisors team has more than a decade of experience
in practicing and researching a variety of OI approaches in
the private, public and non-profi t sectors. The team has
collectively run over 700 challenges in advanced analytics
and computation, space sciences, life sciences, organizational
management and various engineering technologies. The
team has also implemented systematic OI programs in a
range of organizations. The Open Advisors team is uniquely
positioned to help organizations understand how OI can be
integrated within their own innovation processes and to
enable learning, piloting and scaling of OI programs that can
deliver results.
The webinar will provide information on the two workshops
that OA offers during a 60 minute presentation, followed by a
30 min question and answer session. The one-day workshops
are designed to help key leaders and innovation practitioners
in an organization understand how OI can fi t within their
existing innovation approach and the challenges and
opportunities related to working with various OI approaches.
The Digital Innovation & Transformation workshop generally
addresses OI and provides practical information on how to
develop, execute, and scale OI within an organization. It
also addresses the challenges of organizational and cultural
change. The informative and interactive format includes
proven case study methodology, expert presentations, and
hands on discussions of the pros and cons of OI.
The Computational Contests workshop is aimed at those
organizations already familiar with OI generally, but not
with the specifi cs of designing and conducting computational
contests. The Open Advisors team will help the organization
identify the right problems to solve using a portfolio
analysis approach, identify those problems that are most
suitable for computational contests, and offer practical
recommendations for moving forward with the OI initiative
including the organizational structure needed for an effective
implementation.
We invite you to join us for a 90 minute webinar on Wednesday, March 8 at 2:00 pm CET on the
topics of Digital Innovation & Transformation and Computational Contests. The webinar will
be conducted by the Open Advisors team, with many years of open innovation (OI) experience
from Harvard and NASA, and provide information on workshops that assist organizations in
learning, assessing, planning and executing open innovation initiatives that create real impact.
