“First focus on input instead of possible output”
After lots of research we proudly present our Open Innovation Chess Paradigm:
Inspired by a lack of theory about the input of Open Innovation (“OI”) –what is needed to make effectively use of OI– we developed the OI Chess Paradigm. Where existing theories and global thought leaders keep focusing on the output of OI –what should be possible using OI–, the OI Chess Paradigm answers the questions business deals with.
With the Open Innovation Chess Paradigm we developed a concrete toolbox for durable implementation of Open Innovation (“OI”). Focusing on the change process becoming an ‘open organization’, the Paradigm offers a concrete plan of action for organizations with ambitions in (open) innovation.
The OI Chess Paradigm helps your organization on how to divide the change process in manageable steps. It describes how to make use of different leadership styles and organizational identity in order to control the transformation on all levels of the internal organization: people, operations, policy and culture.
Please note that the slideshow contains only a slight overview of the OI Chess Paradigm. Feel free to contact us for more information.

During a one hour timeslot Rob will elaborate his vision on Open Innovation, present his break-through theory on Open Innovation (“How to Implement Open Innovation: a Closed-Open Paradigm”) and he will speak about the (free) ThinkTankThursday initiative.
The 24 Hours of Innovation is a non-stop, online marathon of innovation initiatives around the world. The event takes place during a full day and night on May 15-16 from 10.00 am to 10.00 am (CET). (as a reference: Sydney 6 pm, New York 4.00 am, Los Angeles 1.00 am)
Rob will have a timeslot next to global thought leaders like Henry Chesbrough (for those of you who are familiar with open innovation), NineSigma and Pfizer.
Rob’s 1 hour timeslot starts at Friday 15 May 7PM (GMT+1). The webinar represents the pre-launch of Rob’s Closed-Open Paradigm, a toolbox for implementing Open Innovation from a business perspective.
If you’re interested, you can follow and join the 24 Hours of Innovation on May 15-16. You can confirm your interest and participation on the LinkedIn event page.
