The old closed innovation model focuses on using only ideas internal to the organization.

Today global markets are much more competitive, there is a much greater globally distributed pool of knowledge in many more technological areas.

The new model gives an advantage to companies that are open to ideas from outside the organization.

6 Benefits of Using Open Innovation

1. Out Innovate the Competition

It is not practical to internally employ all of the greatest innovators in the world.

The open innovation model provides access to the greatest minds and allows you to out innovate competition that still uses the old model.
