Social Media for Corporate Innovators and Entrepreneurs: Add Power to Your Innovation Efforts

“How can my company use social media to bring out better innovation faster?” This is the key question that I explore in this book, which covers issues such as:

• What are the benefits of using social media for innovation efforts?
• What are the challenges and how can you overcome them?
• How can the different social media platforms help bring out better innovation faster?
• How should companies approach social media for this purpose?
• How can innovation leaders get a better understanding of social media and start maximizing the value of their virtual networks?

Social media has the potential to be a game changer for how companies innovate and companies need to pay full attention to the intersection of open innovation and social media if they want to out-innovate their competitors. This might be unchartered territory, but it is full of interesting opportunities.

Working with Stefan Lindegaard:

You might read my books, blog or tweets and wonder how I can help your company on open innovation, social media and intrapreneurship issues. Here you get an overview.

Talks/sessions: As a speaker or session facilitator, I really like to interact with my audience. I prepare to be able to establish a connection that leads to a good two-way discussion that makes it easier for the audience to relate my ideas and insights to their own issues.

I am open to tailoring a talk, session or training program to your needs. My main topics are open innovation, how to use social media for innovation efforts, innovation management, intrapreneurship and the people perspective of innovation.

You can see me in action and find some of my presentation decks here: An Open Innovation Talk by Stefan Lindegaard (Video)

Consulting: As a strategic advisor, I provide corporate innovation units with an external view on the opportunities, challenges and initiatives that are related to further develop their corporate innovation capabilities.

Connecting: I help corporate innovation units connect with other units and thought-leaders within the innovation community and facilitate sharing of insights and experiences. This takes place in one-to-one situations as well as in Corporate Mind Exchange events organized by 15inno.

Promoting: I help companies become the preferred partner of choice within current and future innovation ecosystems and to become an admired innovation leader across all industries. If your foundation is in place, I help create a communication strategy that leverages my social media channels and network.
