ventureteams
What are?
Ventures teams are teams of specialist with the objective of implementing a chosen b siness plan of an idea Normall thechosen business plan of an idea. Normally the concept has a high potential and could generate possible conflicts with the culture and processes of the Core Company (OldCO).
Wh ?Venture Teams
Why?
M ilit d f th ti f id• More agility and focus on the execution of ideas• Creation of an alternative culture • Utilization of OldCO resources to establish the new business • Richness of multidisciplinary teamsp y• Agile Project management • Focus on implementation with certain risk of not valorizing
new potential ideasMainly works with internal teams and stakeholders• Mainly works with internal teams and stakeholders

Wh ?Innovation Teams
Why?
Cl d fi d l• Clear defined goal• Communicates and reinforces the importance of innovation in the
organization• Multidisciplinary teamp y• More free access to information (matrix structure)• Risk of unmotivated teams• Team has high expectation that ideas are implemented and valued• Team members question existing career models• Team members question existing career models• Team often composed by political choice or by employees from
stereotyped functions ( “creative people”)• No participation of external stakeholders

kaizenkaizen
What is?
KAIZENKAIZEN originated in Japan in the 80’s. It is a process of continuous improvements where the “status quo” is questionedwhere the status-quo is questioned constantly. KAIZEN focus on organizational process and on the individuals who execute it.
h ?KAIZEN
Why?
• Focuses on incremental improvements to gain productivity• Focuses on incremental improvements to gain productivity• Tangibilization of process and measuring of the output• Importance in improving the people and the process• Focus on the collective and discipline• Goal to increase the individual moral• Often utilizes “suggestion boxes” to collect ideas
Not open to experimentation of new processes• Often applied in low growth industriesOften applied in low growth industries

TRIZTRIZ
What is?
TRIZ started in engineering with the focus on “inventive problem solving”. It presents a systematic approach to provide incentives and apply an algorithmic approach to the invention of new systems, and the refinement of existing y , gones.
h ?TRIZ
Why?
• Uses systematic pre-defined model-based technologyUses sys e a c p e de ed ode based ec o ogy• Focuses on solving of dilemmas, trade-offs and problems• Identification of pattern and algorithm to increase problem
solvingDue to structural approach TRIZ eliminates the need for• Due to structural approach TRIZ eliminates the need for super-creative people and intuition
• Certain super simplification of the complex system and naturally focuses on the most practical solution and low risky p

What is?
Brainstorming is a group creativity technique to explore the collective creative by
fcollecting the maximum quantity of ideas to solve predetermined problems.

Why?
• Reinforces the importance of innovation in the organization• Reinforces the importance of innovation in the organization• Focus on the quantity (goal) and not necessary on the quality

openpinnovation
What is?open innovation
O I tiOpen Innovation is a movement of the technology industry and focus on the generation of ideas and solutions It utilizes angeneration of ideas and solutions. It utilizes an open environments with the participation of experts and enablers such suppliers, universities and research centers. Open Innovation focuses on “importation” and “exportation” of knowledge as well as patents p g pto leverage innovation.
h ?open innovation
Why?
• Access to external expertise• Access to external expertise • Integration of external stakeholders• Reduction of R&D investments• Increases of T2M• Capture new ideas and patents through technology transferCapture new ideas and patents through technology transfer
agreements (royalties)• Increases the dynamic between the organization and market• Problem solving with pre-defined premises• Transaction costs can be high (patents intellectual propertyTransaction costs can be high (patents, intellectual property,
contracts with partners)• Important to balance the risk of "leakage“ from idea to market versus
ability to implement the idea before the competition• Open innovation is an action strategy can be combined with otherOpen innovation is an action strategy can be combined with other
tools, like TRIZ to improve the definition of the initial problem

crowdsourcing
What is?
Crowdsourcing is the process of "outsourcing" tasks to a large group of people It as pop lari ed b online platformspeople. It was popularized by online platforms as InnoCentive that manages the distributed problem solving process by promoting contests.

Why?
• Closing the gap between professional and amateurs• Closing the gap between professional and amateurs• Problem solving process• Process for outsourcing jobs and quick access to external
knowledge ("collective intelligence")O t it t d i t t d l t k i kl• Opportunity to reduce investment and solve tasks more quickly
• Strengthen of ties with the brand• Identification of talents• Depends on the motivation and free time of the crowd• Not always has a financial reward for the participants• Limited contracts and agreements regarding intellectual property• Ideas are filtered by the organization based on the initial defined
problem solving premisesp g p• Not necessary boost collaboration• Generally needs a technology platform and infrastructure
