I am a Product Manager at SAP and currently doing a fellowship in Technology Innovation Platform at SAP Labs Palo Alto.
Although 40 years of success with a close innovation approach are resisting the migration process to a more "Open Innovation" approach, there is no way back and the decission has already been taken by the market itself. We at SAP are not only witnessing but also driving Open Innovation and the stars are converging to it under different initiatives:
1)Network collaboration and enabling tools
2)Open platform and integration
3)Idea competitions
4)Customer immersion
5)Co-innovation
Please, do not hesitate to join us in this path at SAP OPEN INNOVATION. Your thoughts and sharing cases will be more than welcome.
Thank you. All the best,
