Open innovation, in particular, has gone from a buzzword to a business necessity. In this series-closing talk, Jennifer will share insights on "open" and "innovation", including strategies for identifying, conceptualizing, and implementing new business opportunities. She will also share insights on where open innovation in practice is really headed... Because if everyone does it, how do organizations differentiate themselves, their products, their services??
