Co-Innovation Platforms

Zusatztext

Strategies and practices for growing ecosystems are increasingly important in shaping industries and markets. Sustaining productive innovation is not just about you. It depends on others as well as your willingness and ability to collaborate effectively. This book is about how to use, as well as develop, a co-innovation platform to accelerate innovation and sustain ecosystem growth. It will show how you, your team and your organization can create and foster collaborative innovation among a diverse set of organizations that are located outside of your companys hierarchy. A coinnovation platform provides an environment where firms can combine or recombine ideas to generate novel solutions. A distinctive feature of the coinnovation platform is its resourceopen and handson approach to innovation. For many organizations, resource limitations, organizational obstacles and/or time constraints kill an idea before it takes shape. By providing access to demandside and supplyside resources and capabilities to facilitate coinnovation, the platform solves this problem and shapes the ecosystems innovation trajectory from the ground up. This book provides strategic and practical guidance for orchestrating collaborative problem solving and ecosystem growth.
