Here comes a list of my current favorite open innovation companies.
The list is by no means based on in-depth research. It is based on actions, initiatives or shared insights of these companies over the last month or so – and thus what I believe should inspire other companies.
1. GE – for leading the way with a $200 million challenge
GE shows us the future of innovation by assembling a great team of partners as well as the rest of us as they work to solve some critical issues. Their challenge is a great initiative that I will write more about in a separate post.
2. P&G – for addressing language barriers on their Connect+Develop platform
The more time I spent in places such as Brazil and China, I begin to understand the importance of having multi-language versions of open innovation initiatives. It is simply not good enough that companies with plenty of resources for unknown reasons decide not to address language issues. They miss out on interesting opportunities.
By adding Spanish and Portuguese versions to their Connect+Develop platform, which already had a Chinese version, P&G once again leads the way.
3. Siemens – for a report that provides great insights into b2b open innovation
Granted, the report is a few months old, but I still think it is an impressive presentation of open innovation initiatives in a large b2b-focused company…
