What Open Innovation is?

•  Advance internal technology by •  Using internal and external ideas, paths to market •  Sharing risk and reward •  Buying external invention •  Licensing inventions not being used

•  Advantages •  Reduced cost of R&D •  Potential improvement in development •  Early-stage incorporation of customers

•  Disadvantages •  Potential to lose competiveness by revealing intellectual property •  Increased complexity in controlling innovation

12

Models for Open Innovation •  Product platforming

•  Developing and introducing a partially completed product •  Call for contributors to extend the platform and its value (SDK, APIs)

•  Collaborative product design and development •  Incorporates contributors into the development cycle (e.g., co-creation workshop) •  Controlling and maintaining the product development

•  Customer immersion •  Advance product presentation to customers •  Collection of customer inputs and their involvement in the design process

•  Ideas competitions •  Access innovative ideas and understand customers and contributors needs •  Rewards to encourage competiveness among contributors (e.g., hackathon)

Data Catalyser: The Architecture 22

Trust Framework Initiative

Personal Data sharing: The Opportunities 24

•  Data are currently silo’d – Generated and exploited vertically

•  More horizontal opportunities are possible

For example:

•  Mobile phone data to alert social care if patient is unexpectedly idle

•  Shopping data maybe used to inform healthcare advice

•  Band data to inform of retail offers e.g. “bought broadband 12 months ago… so”

Personal Data sharing: The Barriers Building Trust: Need to empower the customer:

Ethics: Recognize & respect the consumer’s whishes

Control: Give tools/dashboards to enable real control

Compliance: Verify orgs are sticking to rules

Communication: Kitemark to show whose in the ethical sharing club

Remove Friction: Need to solve three sources of friction:

Technical: How to define and physically transfer the data

Legal: How to establish the users identity and assert permission within each silo’d system

Commercial: How to agree the price of access/ transfer

TFI: The “Collaborative” Approach 26

Trust Framework development (phase 1): (Align to existing models and base development)
