Abstract
Open innovation requires courage to be open for innovation. It requires courage to seek (and discover) the new which might lead to disruptive solutions. Openness to innovation also has a twin: courage for seeking the unexpected. Experimentation involves failures but not fundamental and costly ones, and thus the probability of finding timely scale-up solutions is significantly higher than in traditional project approach.
‘It is not just about open Innovation but openness to Innovation’.
