Connect: Networking, Open Innovation and Knowledge Transfer

New communication technologies and ways of working are altering the established ways in which knowledge and innovation flow. Traditionally, companies looking to gain competitive advantage have kept their ideas and discoveries secret and made little attempt to assimilate information from outside their own organisation. The central idea behind open innovation is that companies can no longer afford to rely on their own in-house research, but need to be also looking outside to add further value to their market offering. This may be in the form of collaboration, licensing agreement, or patent acquisition. Similarly, internal interventions not being exploited by an organisation can be taken outside the company and brought to market to generate revenue through licensing, joint venture or spin-off. Open innovation offers many advantages:

• Accessing external knowledge (two heads are better than one);
• Access to new markets, technology transfer from and / or to other industries;
• Reduced time to market;
• Reduced internal R&D costs and risks;
• Sell or license ‘non-profitable’ IP to create a source of income.

Effective open innovation requires flexibility of thinking when looking for business synergies (with researchers, with suppliers, with customers, with competitors) but it also means that you will need the capacity to work with diverse external collaborators in a way that ensures sustainable benefit for your organisation. C-Tech offers one-to-one mentoring for business who wish to build on the knowledge gained, to enable participants to begin to implement the internal processes required to adopt a suitable innovation business model.
