Book description Open innovation is fast-becoming the preferred model for new product and service development at leading organisations. It directs ideas to where they can be handled most efficiently at each stage of their research and development, reducing time-to-market and, in theory, generating more value for every party involved. At the same time, it requires organisations to rid themselves of the traditional not invented here attitude and welcome external knowledge in-house It is a world ruled by complex licensing agreements and partnerships, in which only those with holistic, integrated strategies prevail. In Open Innovation in Action, Andrew Gaule draws on his experience as founder of the H-I Network, the leading executive forum for innovation and operational excellence, to explain what open innovation is, and why it is relevant to your organisation. As a practising strategic consultant, he draws on his experience advising leading companies to present case studies in open innovation from P&G, QinetiQ, Shell, DSM and Tate & Lyle. He also provides step-by-step advice on how to align your innovation processes to your overall strategic goals.
