Open Innovation for the Digital Shift - A collection of case studies in the I...Alberto Minin
Based on 13 case studies of innovative ICT and ICT-enabled European companies, we describe how the implementation of Open Innovation Strategies (OIS) characterized the successful exploitation of technological innovation projects. We investigated 4 large companies and 9 SMEs.
In all our 13 cases, companies’ innovation strategies tended to be “open but controlled”. A strong balance was needed between openness (e.g. collaborative R&D, open business models and digital 2.0 business models) and control (clear appropriation strategies to ensure a “return on R&D investments”). Large companies can easily implement OIS because they are better positioned than SMEs to orchestrate research partnerships (e.g. setting the agenda of large consortia). These companies are more likely to approach OIS using Human Resources Management and to focus on long–term objectives. SMEs implement OIS by opening up their business model and benefit from relevant external knowledge needed to unlock the market potential of technology. SMEs participate in large R&D networks and engage in ecosystems to gain reputation, foster expertise exchange, and gather new skills. An OI culture and adequate appropriation strategies allow SMEs to successfully open their R&D processes without bearing rising search costs and without risking losing business-critical knowledge
We identified drivers and barriers for companies pursuing OIS in Europe. Drivers include EU consortia (cooperation and networking) and the building of communities and platforms to share assets that they can control (e.g. IP protected assets). Companies also faced barriers to OIS because their internal management struggled to balance internal R&D and external knowledge absorption. Some companies felt that European and national innovation systems did not provide sufficient institutional support and/or they felt that some rules and regulations prevented innovation.

Innovation Thinking: Evolve and Expand Your CapabilitiesTechWell
Innovation is a word tossed around frequently in organizations today. The standard cliché is “Do more with less.” People and teams want to be innovative but often struggle with how to define, prioritize, implement, and track their innovation efforts. Jennifer Bonine shares the "Innovation Types" model to give you new tools to evolve and expand your innovation capabilities. Find out if your innovation ideas and efforts match your team and company goals. Learn how to classify your innovation and improvement efforts as core (to the business) or context (essential but non-revenue generating). WIth this data, you can better decide how much of your effort should being spent on core versus context activities. Take away new tools for classifying innovation and mapping your activities and your team’s priorities to their importance and value. With Jennifer’s guidance you’ll evolve and expand your innovation capabilities on the spot.

Innovation Thinking: Evolve and Expand Your CapabilitiesTechWell
Innovation is a word frequently tossed around in organizations today. The standard clichés are do more with less and be creative. Companies want to be innovative but often struggle with how to define, implement, prioritize, and track their innovation efforts. Using the Innovation to Types model, Jennifer Bonine will help you transform your thinking regarding innovation and understand if your team and company goals match their innovation efforts. Learn how to classify your activities as "core" (to the business) or "context" (essential, but non-revenue generating). Once you understand how your innovation activities are related to revenue generating activities, you can better decide how much of your effort should be spent on core or context activities. Take away tools including an Innovation to Types model for classifying innovation, a Core and Context model to classify your activities, and a way to map your innovation initiatives to different contexts.
The reality is that technology is complicated. As testers, we are challenged with complicated problems that need solving. Andy Glover presents a hands-on workshop that describes a new way of looking at testing problems and ideas. Andy demonstrates how thinking with pictures can help testers discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve their ability to share their insights with others. Andy shows how to clarify a problem or sell an idea by visually breaking it down using a set of visualization tools including mind maps, work flows, and powerful but simple visuals to communicate complex messages. You don’t need to know how to draw to attend this workshop. Although we are naturally creative, sometimes it takes effort to develop those skills. Join Andy to learn how to apply visual solutions to our everyday software testing challenges.

This presentation was presented by Dr Tim Kelly via Skype at the Africa Mobility Foresight Workshop on 1 July 2010 at Pretoria. The event was sponsored by SAFIPA.
This was presented by Micheal Khan at the Innovation Festival at Spier Wine Estate on 8 and 9 March 2010. The sponsor was Cape Biotech Trust to raise funds for the Southern African Innovation Network (SAINe).
1. You’ve led your company to many firsts.
Here’s another one you won’t want to miss.
2. Innovators are first
First with new ideas that change the world. First to open the door to new ways of doing things. First to
experience the things that make history. Today, your chance to be first has come.
In June, South Africa will host the 2010 Soccer World Cup. It is a first for Africa and a great opportunity for us
to present South Africa’s most innovative achievements to the world, beginning with Soccer City, the stadium
that will host the opening match scheduled for 11 June 2010.
The new 95 000 seater stadium holds many innovations for both players and spectators. Its unique design is an
architectural triumph, while an advanced system of technological innovations allow for all systems to be
centrally controlled. All this, while still ensuring the stadium’s green credentials lead the way for the rest of the
world to follow. This “Smart Stadium” is truly a great South African example of Innovation at its best!
We invite you to join Dr Phil Samuel, Chief Innovation Officer of BMGI Corporation, for a hands-on innovation
workshop to discover the exceptional power of structured innovation. The workshop will take place in the VVIP
Presidential Suite at Soccer City Stadium on 20 April 2010.
Dr Phil Samuel, will be facilitating companies through a selection of innovation tools from the book
he co-authored, The Innovator’s Toolkit. Innovation has never been this practical before! Think of it
as attending a Microsoft workshop and being coached by Bill Gates. You have much to gain from attending,
and if taking your business to the next level is a priority, then this hands-on workshop is a must.
With a PH.D in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calgary in Canada, Dr Phil has worked with
clients in aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, healthcare, retail and pharmaceutical industries. He is also a
published author with his books continuing to lead idea generators across the globe.

About the book
- Published by John Wiley & Sons Publishing
Success with organic growth takes a lot more than ideas,
or even great ideas. It takes galvanizing leadership and a
sustainable growth engine. It takes deep understanding
of key concepts and a robust managerial process. It also
takes a groundswell of employees who can skillfully apply
all the necessary techniques and tools of innovation –
not just the mind-expanding ones.
The Innovator's Toolkit is for those who are interested in
the big picture of organic growth and want to become
innovation-elite organisations, as well as for those who
need to execute a single innovation project. The book
includes 50+ proven techniques organised into four
sections that follow a repeatable innovation methodol-
ogy. This approach, dubbed D4, enables readers to
approach innovation projects in a systematic manner,
making a successful outcome highly probable.
