environmental, economic and cultural”

13. Open Innovation means that valuable ideas can
come from inside or outside the company and can
go to market from inside or outside the company
as well.
Open services innovation is about engaging users
as co-creators of the new services and eventual
beneficiaries in terms of share-of-profit, users, IPR

Design Patterns

16. 16
Transformation of the Open Innovation paradigm
 Affected by the intersection of mega-trends (digitization,
mass collaboration, and sustainability needs)
 Based on principles of integrated collaboration, co-created
shared value, cultivated innovation ecosystems, unleashed
exponential technologies, and rapid adoption
 New mindset focused on teams, collaboration, and sharing
 No silos of civil, academic, business, and government
innovation but instead creative commons, shared societal
capital and experimental results
