Transcript : Secondly, you remember the Greek and Roman agora? We now have something I call ideagoras. These are open markets for uniquely qualified minds. So we're going to hear from Proctor and Gamble on the panel. P&G is looking for a molecule that'll take red wine out of a shirt. So help me with the math. They've got 9,000 chemists inside the boundaries of P&G. And there's a million-five outside the boundaries of P&G that they can now get to because they're organized into ideagoras, like the InnoCentive network that has 130,000 scientists. And sure enough, there's a retired chemist in Boston or a grad student in Taipei that comes up with a molecule. P&G pays them through the InnoCentive mechanism, say, $150,000 and you've got Tide To Go. It's a fabulous product. Half of all of P&G's innovations will come from outside the company by the end of this year. How do you get the internal R&D people to want to find it outside? What about NIH, the not-invented-here syndrome? Well, it's called aligning interest. People at P&G get comped based on innovation, not on whether or not they found the innovation internally. Rather than NIH, at P&G they call it the PFE, the PFE syndrome -- proudly found elsewhere. Author’s Original Notes: * Alan’s breakout session is on InnoCentive
