The markets are speaking

Monday, September 1, 2008

CKIR, the Center for Knowledge and Innovation Research, Institute of Helsinki School of Economics organized a workshop on the core essence of what Idean is all about: how do companies, societies and people co-innovate for creating new value and wealth?

The workshop agenda was very interesting and touches the question from many angles, yet the core challenge is simple. As Mr. Ikujiro Nonaka, Visiting Professor from Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo states: The essence of open innovation is to listen and feel the needs and life of users and then be inspired.
