Open innovation

In order to maintain a competitive edge, companies must constantly innovate and find new ways to improve their products and services. One way to reduce the risk and cost of innovation is to embrace open innovation. Open innovation is a model in which companies work with external partners to generate new ideas. By using open innovation, you increase commitment of the participants, lower development costs and understand customer needs better. According to PwC's strategy& consulting arm, companies which observe the needs of their customer in direct contact, are more successful in their innovation. Good customer understanding is also reflected in the financial results as profits of these companies grew 3x faster than other companies.
