Open Innovation – Venture Club Session Recap
Open innovation vehicles that stick: central governance, business-unit alignment and quick wins that buy patience for the long game.
How do you set up an open innovation vehicle that business units use rather than tolerate?
Recaps are anonymised by design: no names, no companies.
Members compared how they define open innovation vehicles, sync them with corporate strategy and keep leadership engaged: central hubs with business-unit champions, regional setups versus global HQ, and experiments with formats like crowdfunding.
