Institute for Manufacturing – Open Innovation Workshops

How to set up and manage collaborations with large firms

Today’s rapidly changing technologies and complex markets mean that few firms can innovate using only in-house resources. As a result, many firms are trying to implement ‘open innovation’ by looking outside their organisation to find new ways of creating value.

However, working and sharing information with other companies creates many challenges and pitfalls. These three workshops will present a practical approach to help smaller companies and organisations successfully implement open innovation.

Three one-day workshops: May, June and October 2011
Colworth Park, Cambridge and Norwich
