Beyond the Enterprise

Engaging third parties outside of your organization is often a key step for developing an innovation program. We work with you to understand your commercial needs, agree an Open Innovation process and provide specially configured Open Innovation Software.

Many organizations generate new ideas from suppliers, partners and customers; this is often called 'Open Innovation'. Sometimes this is done formally through forums and workshops; often it’s carried out much less formally as part of the day to day job.

Organizations can use HypeIMT to support these underexploited channels, increasing the scale of the innovation community or engaging those with a completely different perspective. This can increase the size of your innovation resource dramatically; the power of a key supplier or set of customers working together with your own employees can be tremendous as third parties offer a completely different perspective to your own employees.

Whether you’re looking to test existing products with customers, use a third party to co-create a new solution or engage a whole supply chain, HYPE can help.

The same principles apply to collaborative innovation internally, but extra consideration needs to be given to areas such as sponsorship, structure of information, IP, in addition to the cultural and organizational differences of people outside your organizational boundaries.
