7. What is open innovation?
“…a philosophy or a mindset that they should
embrace within their organization.
This mindset should enable their organization
to work with external input to the innovation
process just as naturally as it does with
internal input”
Open innovation as a term will disappear in 5-
7 years!

8. Faster pace, shrinking window of opportunity,
less time for cash cows
Open innovation and biz model innovation is
key for becoming competitively unpredictable!
We need a more holistic approach to innovation!

Even big companies can only attend 2-4
value pools properly – a challenge for you?

11. You need to become preferred partner of choice
(different value pools) within ecosystems!
Corporate innovation teams have many more
options today – and this keeps growing!
They are still learning how to embrace OI, but
they learn fast – and much faster than TTO’s!
Many losers – and few winners who are able
to position themselves as preferred partners!

12. Few, very productive partnerships – with unusual
suspects! – A few insights:
Project timelines; not semester/quarter cadence
while taking ownership for time, budget deliverables
Aligned values (transparency), non-arrogant
behavior
Fair pricing

13. Too few universities try to become “preferred
partner of choice”! Experiment, try new things!

14. Do you really have the skills and mindset
needed for the future of innovation?

15. 1) Intrapreneurial skills
2) Networking talent
3) Communication skills
4) Strategic influencing
5) Adaptive fast learner
6) Balanced optimism
7) Tolerance for uncertainty
8) Passion

17. It must be a key objective for corporate innovation
teams to educate – up as well as down!

18. What is the purpose of “TTO’s” and how does
this stack up with this new era of innovation?
Who is the real enemy of “TTO’s”? Are they set
up to fail? Do they repeat themselves?
Why is there so much talk about technology / IPR
when focus moves towards business models?

19. Upgrade your innovation mindset and toolbox!
Identify the types of external input / value pools
that fit your situation! Become a preferred partner!
Start innovating on how you innovate
(experimentation, small bets, quick wins)
Work the internal and external stakeholders!
Become better communicators!

21. How can we address fears and concerns about
more open forms of collaboration in tech
transfer both from within universities and from
businesses?
(The role of IPR and protection comes into this.)

22. What methods and tools to facilitate
collaboration and co-creation are most
effective? Online portals? Others?
More flash than substance?

23. What open innovation models offer new
opportunities for stimulating student
entrepreneurship activities?
