Nobody can know what you have in your mind, or what you need! Even if you are have 30 years of experience in nanotechnology, maybe you are now looking for IoT sensors for food or you are looking for ways to be creative with your team. You can listen to the podcast of NASA Director of Collaborative Innovation talking about that you have not to be an expert on space tech to solve challenges on space tech!
Maybe the other point is how you can discover what you do need in the first place. And this is another story, innovation usually is not linked to “needs”, it’s more linked to “ideas” and maybe this is one of the first issues to manage an effective a front-end innovation process.
Where you can discover needs?
- Customer feedback
- Issues in your company processes
- Service desk tickets
- Informal conversations
- A process you want to digitalize
- Your competitor new product
- A new testing process for your new product
- …
The other side, it’s what you can offer to the like-minded super innovators and super collaborators community? Maybe, you have an incredible knowledge how to create communities, or you are looking for partners for an European Project Consortium, or you have a system you developed inside your company that other companies can benefit.
