WORKSHOP A
Preparing People and Organizations for the Challenge of
Change:
Seven Critical Success Factors
Read
our exclusive interview with Dr. Shore, "Leading
Open Innovation and Change: Go 'All In' - or Go Home"
Open innovation has always
required a different mindset and skills than traditional
product development. With innovation now extending
beyond product and technology to business models and
ecosystems, the importance of managing change has never
been greater. The more disruption, the more discomfort
--- but even simple change is a challenge.
This session is designed
to help you first identify the shape and scope of your
organization's change requirements, and then determine
the critical success factors and action steps to
accomplish them. Dr. Shore draws on his vast industry
experience and research to help you craft your own
strategy and framework for launching and leading change
initiatives. This interactive, hands-on session will
focus on the following key areas:
-
Why do
so many change initiatives fail and how do we get
them to
succeed?
-
Where
are you on innovation's curve? (from evolutionary
to
revolutionary)
-
Identifying your organization's change typology
-
Creating a change initiative portfolio allocation
model with projected ROI (Return on Innovation)
-- how a balanced portfolio enables adaptable
competitive advantage
-
Overcoming hidden costs of change, allaying fears
-
Developing capacity and infrastructure to make
change happen and stick
-
identifying Your Change Success Factors using seven
probe questions
Managing
change is a key prerequisite to any innovation
initiative.
This session offers an excellent opportunity for teams
to attend
together and receive coaching.
* Brief pre-work and reading will be sent to all
participants in advance |

WORKSHOP
B
Strategies, Tools and Technologies to Maximize
Connectivity, Collaboration and Innovation
Read
our exclusive interview with Dr. Polat, "Social
Product Development: Can LIKEs and Search Improve
Productivity, Knowledge Capture, Collaboration and
Innovation? Yes! "
Innovation is
inherently a social process, requiring collaboration at
every stage of bringing a new idea to market. The gold
standard for collaboration is proven to be "co-located"
people having real-time interactions. However, this
approach is not scalable when people and organizations
involved in the innovation process are many, separated
geographically, and are operating in multiple time
zones. Today, collaboration by meeting, email, and
conference call is still the norm, but these methods are
neither efficient nor effective. In fact, many people
view them as necessary evils, eroding time for
reflection, creativity, and innovation.
In addition, innovators
and product developers need to answer questions like has
this been tried before? Are there better ideas and novel
solutions available elsewhere? What do we know about
this problem? This brings the necessity to have
connectivity with myriad of internal and external
sources, and be able to mine an enormous amount of data
to find the right information at the right time to
support better decisions.
With advances in social,
mobile and cloud technologies there are now better ways
to increase connectivity and collaboration towards an
organization's business and innovation goals. In this
interactive workshop, participants will learn proven
strategies, tools and technologies to help:
Dr. Polat
will review commercial solutions as well as practices
being used by industry leaders to achieve these results,
and she will answer your specific questions. |

As companies have been embracing,
implementing and executing Open Innovation strategies as
a means of innovation and achieving growth, they also
have been striving to assemble an ecosystem of SMEs to
deliver Open Innovation results. This workshop will
include discussion and examples of various structures
available for Open Innovation collaborations between
MNCs and SMEs, and intellectual property and other
issues that can arise both domestically and in
cross-border arrangements.
To further illuminate these issues, we
will use the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai (AMCHAM
Shanghai) Open Innovation Challenge Model as an example.
AMCHAM Shanghai is focused on strengthening US-China
commercial ties. This workshop will help you understand
the types of resources available and identify key
elements of the AMCHAM Shanghai Open Innovation
Challenge Model, to help build a solid foundation
between MNCs and SME's in working in Asia.
You will learn
about the critical elements of the AMCHAM Shanghai Open
Innovation Challenge Model, including the following:
-
Who is within the reach of the
AMCHAM Shanghai Community
-
The AMCHAM Shanghai platform for
US-China Business and its investment and benefits
-
The process involved in connecting
with SMEs in the Asia marketplace using the AMCHAM
Shanghai platform
To conclude, you will hear from a panel
of MNCs and SMEs about their experiences with and ideas
regarding working with each other, and participate in an
open discussion regarding benefits, challenges, and
innovative ideas for Open Innovation between MNCs and
SMEs on a global basis.

Managing Risk and Maximizing Value of OI Ecosystems: New
Models for Complex Relationships
CoDev is
expanding rapidly. It started with simple one-on-one
relationships focused on a specific project. Today,
CoDev includes reinventing supplier innovation
relationships, collaborations between firms that cover
an entire portfolio of projects and business model
collaborations that impact the entire ecosystem.
Successfully creating and managing these types of
complexity require market proven tools and management
techniques.
Join Gene Slowinski as he shares examples of firms who
are taking CoDev to this new level. Learn how firms are
using the Founders' Models and the Phased Risk Models
to minimize the risk and maximize the value of CoDev on
steroids.
What you will learn:
-
How companies such as
Unilever and GSK Consumer Health have been able to
introduce products faster and with a higher return
by involving key players in the ecosystem.

Reinventing supplier
innovation relationships to focus efforts on high
value projects and access new business models.

Understand the most
pressing management challenges of building
