WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

What do you do when your organization can’t solve a problem on its own? Are you
paying for effort instead of solutions? Is your organization stuck?

Strategic problem solving is a key element in innovation and vital to an
organization’s success and growth. Open innovation is a strategy that suggests
the best ideas, solutions, and people necessary to solve your organization’s
difficult problems may come from outside your company entirely. Through open
innovation, organizations can connect with talented people and breakthrough
ideas from across the globe. Whether you’re developing a new product, responding
to the changing workforce, or simply looking for new ideas, you can use open
innovation to find answers and solutions in areas you didn’t expect.  Read More

Open innovation is already all around you. The top companies around the world
have figured out how to use the wisdom of the crowd to help them create products
and services that we use on a daily basis—from your smartphone apps to
Wikipedia. This course presents a foundational understanding of open innovation,
helping you not only solve some of your most difficult problems, but also gain
access to a pool of talent that goes far beyond your organization's walls. By
examining the different types of open innovation—contests, crowdsourcing,
collaborative communities, and online labor markets—you’ll begin to develop a
plan to adopt and implement open innovation in your organization. Through
videos, real-world case studies, and peer interaction, you’ll explore when and
why to implement new solutions, how to operationalize and protect proprietary
ideas, and, most importantly, how to identify the problems you’re trying to
solve and address them with open innovation. 

Your next big idea might come from where you least expect it. Don’t think behind
closed doors. Let open innovation in.

The course will be delivered via HBS Online’s course platform and immerse
learners in real-world examples from experts at industry-leading
organizations. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

 * Understand the concept of open innovation and how it works
 * Analyze the types of problems that can be solved with open innovation and how
   to decouple problems from solutions
 * Identify and understand the challenges and ethical considerations of open
   innovation, such as intellectual property rights

 * Match your business problem to the right approach, contests, crowdsourcing,
   collaborative communities, or online labor market
 * Implement an open innovation strategy in your organization, including how to
   identify and access outside resources, helping you stay ahead of the
   competition
