NEW TIME Twitter Chat: Getting Organizational Buy-In for Open Innovation

NEW TIME Next Chat: Friday, July 23 at 14.00 / 2pm (New York time)

Topic: Getting Organizational Buy-In for Open Innovation

- What does it take to get your employees ready for open innovation?

- What is the role of the executives to drive the right corporate mindset for open innovation?

- What are the best ways to get your partners ready for this change?

At this chat, we have a special guest in Todd Boone, Director, Market Development, Psion Teklogix.

Todd’s current role is focused on Psion Teklogix’ Open Source Mobility (OSM) business strategy. This includes both organizational activation across functional groups with respect to the new strategy as well as externally focused business development activities that include partner cultivation and the implementation and management of Ingenuity Working – Psion Teklogix’ new online community.

You can read more about Psion’s initiative in these blog posts.

Practical information:

A twitter chat is simply a stream of tweets that are linked together as we use a hashtag (#15inno) in all tweets. An example:

“#15inno Welcome to the 15inno Twitter Chat. I look forward to your input on the above topic”

You need a Twitter account to participate and I strongly suggest that you also install a desktop application such as TweetDeck. This allows you to create a column using the search tag #15inno in order to get a full overview of all tweets with the #15inno hashtag.

You can also use twitter.com and its search function. Sometimes this works faster although you have to refresh to see new tweets.

I look forward to interacting with you next week. It would be great if you can help spread the word on this…
