You might read my blog postings and you might wonder if or how I can help your company on open innovation and intrapreneurship. Hopefully this overview of my services gives you a better understanding of potential ways of working together.

Open Innovation Assessment:

My clients like my ability for asking direct and thought-provoking questions. I offer to use this ability to assess your current open innovation strategy and the initiatives that you have or are about to launch.

The process is simple. I get as much relevant information from you as possible and I do some research on my own. My observations are presented in a short document. Together, we use the observations to tailor a half-day session for the key people within your company. Our desired outcome is to build a better understanding of your open innovation opportunities and challenges and to develop specific actions points.

This interview with Jeff Bellairs, Director of General Mills Worldwide Innovation Network gives you an idea of the issues I will get into. Please note that General Mills is not one of my clients.

I usually spend 2-4 days on such assignments.

Strategic Advice – Innovation Strategy:

Everything should start with an innovation strategy that is aligned with a corporate strategy. Unfortunately, this is not the case at most companies. I can help you develop an innovation strategy or review – and challenge – what you already have in place and explain what you are missing.

Talks, Sessions And Training Programs:

As a speaker or 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 of course open to tailoring a talk, session or training program to your needs. My main topics are open innovation, intrapreneurship and the people perspectives of innovation. This could lead to talks such as:

• The Open Innovation Revolution - my thoughts on open innovation based on content from this website and my upcoming book, The Open Innovation Revolution

• Why CEO’s Don’t Get Innovation - based on this BusinessWeek article

• 10 Signs That Innovation Will Fail - based on this blog post
