Strong organizations do four things very well:
They listen, adapt, experiment and execute better than their
competitors.
Why does transformation matter? Stay relevant, survive and
prosper!

#5 - How
Work with the outside world.
What is open innovation / external collaboration?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 business processes just as naturally as it
does with internal input
Open innovation as a term will disappear in 3-7 years!

Please share your key take aways.
A CFO is wary about investing in the training and education of
the employees.
He asks the CEO: What happens if we invest in developing our
people and then they leave the company?
The CEO is a bright person and replies: What happens if we dont
and they stay?

Rethink Innovation and Transform Your Company
Dont talk about innovation. Focus on how you can transform your
company based on values, assets, partners, threats and
opportunities.
Work with the unusual suspects internally as well as
externally
1. Common Language and Understanding, Motivation, Mandate and
Strategic Purpose
2. Assets and Needs
3. Value Pools and Channels
4. Internal Readiness
5. External Readiness
6. New Skills and Mindset
7. Communications Strategy7 Steps for Open Innovation
External collaboration can only reach its full potential when
all business functions get involved. Go beyond products and
technologies; solve challenges, but dont forget to pursue
opportunities.
Learn to communicate better and differently or fail!
What is communication today?
Focus on people and upgrade their mindset and skills!
People first, processes next, then ideas. The key for execution
is people dont focus too much on ideas and projects.
The TBX model or why middle managers stop
T (Top Down): Get executives onboard, personally committed to
innovation. Without executive support, no change occurs
B (Bottom Up): Value creation begins with people, one by one,
team by team. Nothing happens unless you get employees engaged
X (Across): Middle managers get the job done (for good and bad)
set the right objectives and incentives!...innovation just by doing
their job!Everyone ask themselves a very simple question: Whats in
it for me?- know the answer before you start your initiatives.
Chart by BusinessInsiderStrong change teams know they cant do it
by themselves; they become facilitators and integrators. Education
is a key objective.
