– Customers
Innovation Partnerships build things• Ideation• Market Research
• Supplier Channels (working with supply chain)• Proof of concept• Prototypes• Sales Channels (working with customers)
• Sales
What does success look like
• Electrical Shielding• Tire fire testing• Sand fly sensors• Helicopter rotor flexing• Fingertip Mounted Ultrasound Probe trial• Clinical Trials
Testing --- Validation --- Credibility --- Answers

Lost on the moon
Your spaceship has crash landed on the moon. You were scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship 200 miles away on the lighted surface of the moon, but the rough landing has ruined your ship and destroyed all the equipment on board, except for 15 items.
Your crew's survival depends on reaching the mother ship, so you must choose the most critical items available for the 200-mile trip. Your task is to rank the 15 items in terms of their importance for survival.

Wisdom or Madness?
• Diversity of opinion – Each person should have private information even if it's just
an eccentric interpretation of the known facts.
• Independence – People's opinions aren't determined by the opinions of those
around them.
• Decentralization – People are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge.
• Aggregation – Some mechanism exists for turning private judgments into a
collective decision.

Questions for engagement
• What characteristics of your product would you like to know more about?
– What experiments would you like to run?
• What product problems (not sales, financial, or people) do you have?
• Where could your product be used?
• What is solved problem worth?
Open Innovation phases
• Vet project
– Belief that internal assets need augmenting
– Willingness to look outside • Time to review opportunities
• Will to close with 3rd parties
• Determine needs– Seek best practices
– Seek adjacencies (easiest to explain)
• Distill key areas of interest -- Develop SOW
• Find partners
• Manage paper
• Manage relationship
Action vs. Research
• Open Innovation involves seeking partners
• Effort (Research and Documentation)– Determining who to contact
– Getting contacts to respond
• No resources to waste
– Neither wrong avenues, nor
– Exhaustive study of the options
DeliverablesMarket Insight / Completed Project
• Refined scope of inquiry (search)– Pre actions – meetings with appropriate stakeholders
• List of possible contacts– B2B, labs, universities
• Interview results– Valuable market insight
• Establish contact– Set up a meeting– Determine areas of overlap
What does success look like
• New hygiene products
• Anti-motion sickness glasses
• Extendable tire spiking system
• Validation of plastic conversion model
Open InnovationTime and talent solution
Working with institutions
• Why? – Deep talent …
• with connection to others in agency and elsewhere
– Unique equipment
– Connections to additional funding and opportunities
• Nose in the tent
– Leveraged rates (sometimes)
