Services and Tools for Open Innovation

February 2, 2011 Open Innovation No Comments

Innovation intermediaries like NineSigma are important for open innovation and I have been building a good relationship with them over the years. One outcome is NineSigma’s sponsorship of 15inno, which I really appreciate : – )

As you can see on their website, they have a range of interesting offerings, but in this post I would like to highlight two of them.

NineSigma recently launched the Collaborative Innovation Development Program in partnership with Caliper. They have come together to create the industry’s first innovation leadership development program for individuals and teams specially designed to help innovation leaders assess and develop a team’s performance.

Specifically, this program helps you:

Build a high-performing innovation team

Benchmark your teams against industry standards

Create continuous improvement innovation training and development

Improve collaborative innovation behavior, performance and adoption

The other service is an open innovation scorecard that helps companies measure their open innovation capabilities across 3 tiers; internal collaboration, existing network collaboration and global innovation community collaboration.

The survey only takes 5-7 minutes and it actually works quite well in giving you an overview of your capabilities.

Why not check out NineSigma and their offerings?
