L’innovation Ouverte



French innovation is more than world class food and wine. And it is becoming more open. Since Henry Chesbrough popularized it in the 90’s, Open Innovation has gone from concept nouveau to industry practice also in France. But somewhat less so than in e.g. the US according to a study of open innovation in French companies by consulting firm bluenove. Whereas perceptions of OI are generally positive, many companies still consider themselves to be in the early stage of adopting open innovation strategies and are somewhat unsure about what benefits to expect.
The study suggests four reasons why there is a gap between France and the US in the practice of OI:
- questions about collaboration
- uncertainty about specific methods
- narrow scope of application
- lack of strategy
