TRIZ-Based Approach for Improving the Adoption of Open Innovation 2.0

Abstract

Openness has increasingly become a global trend. Open Innovation 2.0 (OI2) widens the scope of traditional Open Innovation (OI) and difficulties the organizations with a vision of even more open collaboration that will require business models innovations. In this new paradigm of OI2, innovation happens in ecosystems or networks that go far beyond traditional organizational boundaries. OI has received extensive attention in the scientific research in the past decade, but OI2 is still a new paradigm that opened advanced research opportunities due to the new dimensions of digital collaboration and co-creation at each level of society. OI2 aims to contribute to driving significant societal changes and benefits, due to its inclusive, multidisciplinary and open approach to solving general problems. In this paper, we focus on deriving the enabling factors and barriers to OI2 adoption thru existing literature review, and to propose inventive solutions to identified problems, through a TRIZ based approach. These solutions are analyzed against a set of ranked success influencing factors by means of a quantification method, in order to propose a minimal set of context-free prioritized interventions to facilitate the adoption of OI2.
