Show All References Open Innovation and Regional Economic Development Hypothesis: If Pittsburgh knew what Pittsburgh knew, it would be unstoppable. The amount of research and development talent in Western Pennsylvania -- in universities, government-sponsored research enterprises, and corporate R&D facilities, not to mention small labs, garages, and studios -- is extraordinary. There are an awful lot of great people in town doing an awful lot of great, innovative work. But too often, they don't know each other, and for want of collaboration, great innovations go undeveloped or are underdeveloped. Innovator #1 and Innovator #2 may each have a critical piece of an innovation marriage made in heaven -- but those two people may occupy different innovation spaces altogether. Can the idea of Open Innovation help solve some of this complex coordination problem? There are some modest examples of related things already in place. The Innovation Access Network is an imperfect thing (aren't they all?) So: How might Pittsburgh improve on this?

yourencore.com The Truth about Innovation Innovation is a fancy word. We therefore expect it to be well dressed, smooth talking and brilliantly executed. We like the good things in our lives to be clean and shiny. But breakthrough innovation is not smooth. Portrait of an Innovator Linus Pauling was an innovator of historic proportions. One of his earliest and greatest breakthroughs was the discovery of the structure of hemoglobin. He was the most celebrated scientist of his day and a shoe-in for the Nobel Prize, which he first won in 1954. It was, in fact, two unknown postgraduates at Cambridge named Watson and Crick who utilized x-ray diffraction analysis to discover the helical structure of DNA. Testing and Learning The example of Watson and Crick is not uncommon. However, they also usually fail. Venture capitalists understand this. The reason is that prediction is difficult, for a variety of reasons. The Difference Between Strategy and Innovation Innovation has nothing to do with overall direction. - Greg

blog - collaborate to innovate: ECONOMICS of open innovation What ROI at what RISK? – every investor’s top question! With respect to open innovation, the same question gets rephrased as below … a) What is the cost of doing ‘open innovation’ vis-à-vis strictly ‘in-house innovation’?b) Opening up for innovation is new for me, and new things carry more risk, can I predict my return-on-investment?c) How can I have a control over people not on my payroll? So how are the various aspects of collaborative innovation fair when it comes to the all important, COST? COST FACTOR 1: By far the most favorable advantage open innovation carries is ‘Pay for real outcome not for trial and error.’ This is a huge cost saving, and a simple logic. A must ask question is “Then who pays for the effort which does not yield desired results”? COST FACTOR 2: Benefit from what is yours, in-house. COST FACTOR 3: Avoid risk of not completing the first, fifth or the last mile of your idea just because you do not have a person who can travel that mile for you.
