We hear a lot these days about applying open innovation concepts to improve innovation and product development processes. The value is clear for B2C companies, but B2B firms have different challenges and needs that have caused many to hold off.

When moving a new product or service through the development cycle, there are generally four outcomes a New Product Development (NPD) team can expect.

Last week I co-hosted a Webcast with Kalypso and Dassault Systems called “IP (Intellectual Property) Management: Setting a Foundation for Innovation”. Whether I am speaking in an event like this or working on-site at a client, I hear a lot of similar questions and concerns on IP issues, and here are a few of the most common.
A company’s intellectual property (IP) portfolio is often one of its most valuable and strategic assets. Even though IP creation and reuse is an integral component of an effective innovation process, IP management and oversight typically is relegated to corporate legal groups.

In the current economy, building a competency in asset evaluation and creativity could make the difference.
