Questions and reflections
Big versus small – the differences
#3 Speed of decision-making
#2 Allocation of resources
#1 Culture of innovation
Why big companies need small companies
Big companies bring scale and access to markets!
#3 They are closer to markets!
#2 They break the rules and take more risks!
#1 They live on the cutting edge!
Why things go wrong
#3 More focus on own gains rather than win-win!
#2 They don’t do the homework!
#1 Trust is not established!
Create simple letter of understanding that outlines working principles for partnership
Set expectations upfront to avoid the “false positives” mode
Questions and reflections
Interaction and involvement are key elements for open innovation as well as social media.
Companies need to build strong capabilities on this intersection if they want to out-innovate their competitors.

Questions and reflections
Executives are not the key issue (TBX)
People first, processes next then ideas
T (Top Down): Get the executives onboard and make them personally committed to the innovation activities. 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 the employees engaged and involved.
X (Across): The biggest challenges will come from middle managers placed across the organization due to narrow focus on own P&L.
(O) for Outsiders: Include external sources as you move towards open innovation.
