Main Outcomes
Make Open Innovation Happen
Use the Map to build an infrastructure, a process, and a methodology for making open innovation happen at your cluster level. Let your members post their challenges. Self-assess on Industry Challenge vs. Company issue, and Urgent Issue vs. Long-Term Challenge.
Connect “Problems” & “Solution”
Have your corporate members (often defined as the Problem Owners) input their “Problems” into the platform. Open the platform to startups, scale-ups, partners, academia, and researchers. Let the crowd help define the solutions.
Create Real Value for Members
Some innovation clusters struggle to create value for their members. Develop a future-fit open innovation strategy, and let members see how powerful open innovation can be at the cluster level.
Use Case: Norwegian Innovation Cluster
A Norwegian innovation cluster was searching for new, novel ways to improve open innovation in practice. With 150+ members and a great international network, the cluster had long talked about open innovation but struggled with hands-on solutions for implementation.
Working closely with the team at Strategy Tools, they helped design a working method and tool to actually focus on the needs of the problem owners, and then build the rest of the methodology around this.
