Just published! Open Innovation Works. We’re proud to announce the release of Open Innovation Works: Successfully Leveraging Your External Ecosystem for Impactful Change, a ground-breaking new book that reframes open innovation as a strategic imperative for large organisations navigating an era of unprecedented disruption. As regulatory pressure intensifies, supply chains remain fragile, and talent shortages persist, organisations increasingly face challenges that cannot be solved through internal R&D alone. Open Innovation Works argues that open innovation is no longer a “nice-to-have,” but a critical response to the inherent constraints of scale, complexity, and competing organisational priorities. Authored by globally recognised innovation leaders Diana Joseph, Dan Toma, and Esther Emmely Gons, the book provides a practical roadmap for leveraging the “superpowers” of external ecosystem players - including startups, universities, and industry partners - to explore opportunities and technologies that would otherwise remain hidden. It offers a clear framework for choosing the right innovation engines, building internal alignment, and measuring impact beyond financial returns.
