Open Innovation Practitioners’ Consortium |
|
This (OI-3) Consortium brings together practitioners in Open Innovation from across Europe to learn together about best practises, recent experiences, different perspectives of the innovation provider and the purchaser as well as to find and try out better ways to address the problems which arise along the way.
Consortium participants from software, healthcare, aerospace, semiconductors, consumer goods, telecoms and beyond are building relationships with each other in the OI-3 consortium making it easier for new ideas and initiatives to be shared across industry boundaries in a trusting environment . This consortium is currently pursuing member interests including: Ecosystems for Open Innovation, Open Innovation beyond the First World and Co-innovation . OI3 consortium members have worked together to create an Open Innovation Maturity Model which is described in this paper by Zeppelin University and Radboult University. "The OI Consortium has provided a unique forum of experts with whom one can discuss key issues around innovation management, learn from the experience of peers across a variety of industries, establish extremely valuable networks for cross-company benchmark. The efficient way in which meetings are structured has allowed a very effective use of the face-to-face time, as well as great flexibility in steering the discussions according to the topics of interest that may emerge" “My experience in the participation of previous OI consortium has been excellent. In particular I found the interactions with peers from other companies very good, and the programs rich enough to foster interesting discussions. The OI event at WIPO in Geneva was a great success and I learned a lot about IP” Michel Benard : Head of Open Innovation—HP The next meeting of the OI3 cycle will be hosted by Google in Zurich in Feb 2012.
