open, more transparent and more connected

6. What is open innovation?
“…a philosophy or a mindset that they should embrace
within their organization.
This mindset should enable their organization to work
with external input to the innovation process just as
naturally as it does with internal input”
Open innovation as a term will disappear in 5-7 years!
