  11. Fundamentals of Open Innovation • The most difficult developmental challenges are solved by experts on the fringe or outside a company’s core expertise, who may see the solution as obvious. • IP must be managed as a perishable asset–markets and customers won’t wait. • Not all of the smart people in the world work for you

  12. Why Open Innovation Networks Work • Open Innovation networks deliver technical experts motivated to find and solve challenges • They are pre-qualified to move your product quickly and innovatively from R&D concept to commercialization. • They have expertise from multiple disciplines to ensure the best solution to get your product to market. • Open Innovation leverages professional scientists, engineers and academics • Only 40% of the 640,00 U.S. based scientists in the US are employed in for-profit companies. • Open Innovation taps the knowledge of the 60% working in government and academic labs.

  13. Why Open Innovation Networks Work • Open Innovation provides access new perspectives from the emerging worldwide technical community • 37% of the foreign-born scientists who are US Educated return to their country after graduation. • There is tremendous growth in new research being done in Russia, China, India, and other emerging countries. • Certain countries are ahead of the US in areas such as “green” and sustainable design methodologies.

  14. How It Works • Companies post challenging development projects online, along with a reward and timeline • TekScout makes the Scientist connection • TekExperts earn rewards by solving posted projects • Products reach the market with more Innovation, faster, and with less expense The Process is simple, the results are brilliant

  15. Key to Effective Open Innovation • Make The Challenge Clear: • Include a summary that scientists outside of your field can relate to • Give detail as to what might work • Don’t waste your and scientists’ time: State up-front any solution approaches that you are not interested in. • Make it interesting to Scientists, Engineers and Academics • The most likely success will come from professionally affiliated experts, not “the crowd”. • Pique their motivation to solve challenges • Encourage and be open to expertise from multiple disciplines to ensure the best solution to get your product to market
