I love these RSA Animate videos and was grateful to Jamie Smith who recently pointed me towards this animated talk by Jeremy Rifkin below on The Empathic Civilization. Watch it, it’s good! This reminds me of something we’ve been talking about for a while in relation to open innovation. Namely that people and organisations who [...]

Just before we spun out from Nesta I was interviewed by the London Business School about open innovation about the work we had been doing at Nesta and were planning as part of our spin out agency 100%Open.

All the case study sessions – from McLaren, P&G, Tesco, Orange, [...]
Based on our recent experience of working on open innovation projects, and also building upon a great paper by Kevin Boudreau and Karim Lakhani, we have concluded that there are two distinct ways of doing open innovation – creating competitive markets or collaborative communities – that we call Discover and Jam, described in detail in [...]
As if we needed reminding, the exponential increase in connectivity and information sharing is fundamentally changing the way organisations operate and innovate. I learned recently that the rate of data consumption by users of one major mobile phone network is doubling every four months! That’s a phenomenal rate of growth and most organisations, let alone [...]
What’s Different about Open Innovation? Better Value The metrics are less developed in this emerging discipline than in traditional innovation.
