Most organizations struggle with the implementation of innovation and never with the shortage of innovation-ready ideas! New innovation models like Innovation Contests and Grand Challenges have added new, important tools to the innovator's toolbox that seem to bridge this implementation gap. In this session Denys Resnick, NineSigma's foremost expert on Grand Challenges and Innovation Contests, joins us. She guides us through the reasons why and how innovation leaders like General Electric, UnderArmour and many other companies use these new tools to implement innovations.  

We all want our Open Innovation initiatives to be successful. Does Open Innovation work for all projects? How can you select projects that are more likely to succeed? Are some projects too big and too risky for Open Innovation? Learn from experienced open innovation practitioners… what projects are they running… how do they maximize their chances of success… and… what types of open innovation projects would they avoid. 

There are different tools available to solve technology and innovation problems but when do you go outside to the innovation community with an innovation or R&D project?  How can you qualify projects for open innovation? What business case considerations are relevant and what can you expect as result? In this webinar NineSigma brings 2 experts from the field to answer these concrete questions and discuss insights and practical tools you can use to create success from the start of your projects.  

If your organization is going through a big strategic transformation process as a result of merger, acquisition or change of business model, then it is the right moment to start using open innovation tools. Working with innovation and R&D managers in large companies all over the world, NineSigma has observed that those are the positions that are often thrown into uncertainty when change happens. For many CEOs and CFOs, those are the functions to experiment with in turbulent times. People who practice open innovation have a wider network of contacts, a better understanding of technology trends, a more open and multi-disciplinary mindset and thus higher employability in a new organizational structure or in the outside world.
