4. Sqore® INNOVATION
Corporate mindsets & assumptions
Open Innovation Closed Innovation
1. The more consumers, the more the market grows
2. We will be first on the market
4. Not all the smart people in our field could work for us
1. With patents, we can make money in many years
2. We will be unique in the market
3. The smart people in the field work for us
5. Sqore® INNOVATION
Personal mindsets & assumptions
Open Innovation Closed Innovation
1. ”The team should consist of people who are better
than I am.”
2. “Through social media, I can find important business
contacts.”
3. “Lets go to the yearly conference and meet new
people.”
1. ”As long as I know most of our product in the
team, I am irreplaceable.”
2. “Social media is just a waste of time.”
3. “I will stay at home and work; it’s more calm.”

Suppliers
Startups
Academia
Industry
clusters
1. Relations and contacts with all
2. Both good and bad to have relationships
Quick to juggle the challenges and opportunities but
worse when thinking in new ways

The Open Innovation Network
Customers
Suppliers
Startups
Academia
Industry
clusters
1. Does not have relations and contacts with all
(probably a few)
2. Does not necessarily have the knowledge or
understanding of the business, which can be positive
for ‘outside the box’ thinking
3. Can bet on disruptive innovation
4. Challenge is to reach out and attract with
good incentives
10. Sqore® INNOVATION
The Open Innovation Network
Customers
Suppliers
Startups
Academia
Industry
clusters
1. Quick results through partnerships
2. Possible to find solutions in other industries
3. Cultural difference between a large company and a
startup creates challenges
4. One solution for this is that companies are starting
their own incubation environments
11. Sqore® INNOVATION
Incubators run by large companies
Large Companies could offer:
• Customer insights and big data
• Access to labs and testbeds
• Resources and MONEY!
13. Sqore® INNOVATION
The Open Innovation Network
Customers
Suppliers
Big companies
Academia
Industry
clusters
1. They don’t have high barriers
2. They probably come from academia
3. The CEO talks to the customer every week
4. Usually, they have no suppliers
5. Should talk to the Big companies, which they
probably do not do today
