InnoCentive@Work - Innovation From Within

When trying to solve difficult R&D challenges, today’s solution seekers face a significant hurdle. R&D can be a fragmented process. Talent and collaboration are limited to whichever team is assigned to a particular problem — potentially leaving outside the process those solvers with the best insights.

InnoCentive@Work is an internal web-based community, customized by InnoCentive for your organization. InnoCentive@Work bridges the silos in disparate R&D organizations — something software models can’t do. It applies your best internal resources to your organization’s hardest problems so they’re solved faster, better, and cheaper. Cross-fertilization of ideas and solutions can accelerate R&D by only “inventing the wheel” once and by access­ing the currently untapped value of your institutional experience and knowledge. Employees can see and collaborate on each other’s proposed solutions, so results occur faster and are more optimized — as measured by significant business impact, higher levels of solving activity, and freshness of thinking.

InnoCentive@Work isn’t just a tool. It’s a transformation in how organizations practice R&D. More than a web platform, it’s a comprehensive suite of offerings that help you create an internal web-based collaborative community for problem solvers. The technology is easy to use. And your proprietary informa­tion stays safe through a secure website.

InnoCentive is the open innovation leader with years of experience and proven successes. As part of the implementation we help you:

  • Develop Challenges
  • Create a process for approving Challenges and reviewing submissions
  • Utilize your internal reward currency
  • Develop educational and communications materials
  • Write policies for integrating open innovation into your existing processes

Later, as you gain experience with open innovation, we’ll also help you move problems from inside the organization to InnoCentive’s global scientific community of Solvers, further increasing the diversity of potential solutions.
