EP1: Open Innovation and Digitalization

Last week, Aurelia already gave you some insight on

this series and open innovation, but today we will dig a little bit deeper into
the topic on digitalization itself and I will explain to you how digitalization
can be used to drive open innovation.

We will give you some advice on

how open innovation can help to drive the transformation.

Open Innovation: accessing external knowledge to find solutions for pressing

problems. In a business context open innovation means to use inflows and outflows of
knowledge to accelerate internal innovation. As a consequence the
organization's boundaries become permeable, what allows to combine the company
resources with the external co-operators. For example you can get access to
important knowledge though experts. Moreover, companies can
reduce costs and bring innovations to market more quickly.

How can open innovation help to

support digital transformations? The explanation is based on these four key
elements.

1.  Determine

your strategy

2.  Developing the organisational culture


3.  Developing

the right mindset


4.  Empowering

your employees
