It is called open innovation. It is called crowd sourcing. One thing is certain: You can become innovative by tapping the wisdom of others.Oh yes, the innovation you need in your business must not be completely done internally.
After all, the world is more competitive than ever and your current innovation processes and systems are failing to keep up. The cost of innovation is increasing while the returns are diminishing. Imagine harnessing your employees, customers, users, and an entire planet of innovators to get ahead of your competitors. The value and returns are indisputable for organizations that adopt, and increasingly, those that don’t will be disadvantaged.
This is where InnoCentive comes into play.
