Over the past decades, companies have embarked on the concept of Open Innovation by using both internal and external knowledge, resources and networks to improve their innovation performance. In order to truly harness the power of Open Innovation, companies will need to adopt the mindset of outside-in innovation at all levels, work with a wide range of external partners with different capabilities and promote the use of knowledge inside-out. Building and managing an ecosystem of innovation partners is not easy, such as when interests clash, and companies will face the challenges of navigating tricky negotiations and collaborations.
