"Mary, many thanks for a great job yesterday – well done. We were very pleased with the response of the directors, and we felt that we really had the right people in front of the board at the right time to give them the information and understanding that they needed. We received many favorable responses from our board members about your presentation and discussion."

Vice President, Strategic Business Development, Glatfelter

A wealth of widely distributed knowledge exists within today's global economy – knowledge that your business should be tapping into and using to your advantage, either to advance your own company's success or to leverage your unused insights to expand the market's. Better known as Open Innovation, this paradigm proves that you can't afford to rely solely on your internal research and concepting, but should instead leverage outside ideas and innovations – licenses or patents from other sources can be a valuable instrument for your success. Procter & Gamble is a known leader in Open Innovation, so our team of former P&G OI consultants has the hands-on expertise to assess your OI needs and develop a successful strategy.

• Open Innovation
  We'll create an innovation-based business strategy for your business to help you develop valuable asymmetrical relationships.
  • Nearly 100% of needed innovation exists outside your company, much within small and medium enterprises
  • Connect and work with major companies, academia, individual inventors, technology brokers and companies of all sizes
  • Internal innovation is costly, while external can save time, money and resources as well as increase success rates and reduce risks
  • Use as a key business-building opportunity – you many have assets valuable to other companies
  • Requires internal commitment, but often leads to unexpected connections and significant return
  
   
• OI Strategies and Execution
  We can evaluate and improve all aspects of the OI process – from idea generation to consumer needs understanding to marketplace delivery. Then we'll advise you on how to implement, or simply do it for you.
  • Starting OI – learn objectives, strategy, organization, culture, systems, training
  • Advising – find external innovation, make contacts, manage confidentiality, negotiate deals and maintain them
  • Leading – we'll lead specific projects for you, either in their entirety or targeted sections, to complete the OI transaction
  • Training – learn where to look, how to advertise, how to manage contacts and deals, how to maintain relationships
  • Value – identity value from your innovation practice, prepare for sale, license, auctions, offers, closing transactions, transfers
  • Facilitate – we understand the needs of all parties through efficient and clear communication, whether between large corporations or small, private contributors
  
   
• Research and Development
  We will assess and then improve your research and development organization using our innovation expertise, ensuring you receive effective, efficient and productive advice on everything from clinical testing to safety issues.
