Open innovation can be highly succesfull in cases of organisations that have exsisted for a long time and have a strong internal team. The internal team should have good idea about the capabilites of the organization and use it as a filter to screen the numerous incoming ideas and select the ones that can be attained with the firms capabilites.

These ideas should be explored thoroughly before they are discarded.
