Established processes are under pressure “The recent decline in innova0on can be a2ributed to ….. rigid development approaches such as stage-‐gate development processes, Six Sigma, and project office. These processes have uninten0onally (but effec0vely) made changes during development more difficult, disrup0ve, and expensive”. Preston G. Smith Author of ‘Flexible Development: Building Agility for Changing Markets’
The end of the stage-gate model as we know it? The rumors of the death of the stage-‐gate model are highly exaggerated! However, it must be supplemented with new and more agile innova6on tools. This is where Open Innova6on comes into the picture.

External as well as internal contributors have willingly shared their experiences and ideas… “99.99% of the smartest people in the world don’t work for us.” External Quote However they probably grew up playing with LEGO “People don’t have to work for us to work with us.” bricks Internal Quote “Most of our radical innova0ons come from people who are not domain experts.” External Quote “I am scared to look at external ideas because we don’t want to get sued.” Internal Quote “OI: Don’t even touch it if it is not demanded by your very top management.” External Quote “Consumers of today are intelligent, they are crea0ve and they have an opinion… And they expect you to listen!” Internal Quote
A constant inflow on ideas but no established process….

The emergence of the organic brand eco-system ”Yellow” by Nathan Sawaya
Value creation in the brand eco-system - how? o SEE the resourceful user in your consumer. o CREATE ways for the outside world to easily participate in your value creation. o PRACTICE WIN – WIN in everything you do. o BE CLEAR about rules and expectations. o Let the brand ecosystem do the HEAVY LIFTING. o BE as OPEN and transparent as possible. o START SMALL, experiment, and improve as you go along. o Innovate WITH and FOR the brand ecosystem.
