Open Innovation and Crowd Sourcing

An organization which wants to encourage OPEN INNOVATIONS has to necessarily look at the process of innovation within and adapting it from a CLOSED process to a more OPEN process with predefined metrics for processes, procedures, steps, controls, etc. This also warrants a class of LEADERSHIP which can create the required OPEN culture within and extend same outside with the ability to drive synergies across in realizing the set vision goals and objectives.

Once an organization is able to create the OPEN culture within then extending the boundaries and making it an virtual organization becomes a more realizable option.We need an input focused approach in organizations, which in most will be a paradigm shift in itself, with finite action plans within the organization to create the commitment to implement Open innovations in a TRANSPARENT and PREDICTABLE manner.

Once an ORGANIZATION has built the basic foundation for OPEN INNOVATION then it can leverage on CROWD SOURCING, a corporate notion of outsourcing to more loosely specified body of people, to tap into the potential of virtual groups of specialists to constructively contribute in the INNOVATIONS of the organization and be rewarded in a commensurate manner.

BOUNDARIES ARE DRAWN BY US, IT'S OUR CHOICE TO EXTEND SAME and REAP THE BENEFITS of ENTERPRISE 2.0!!
