About this chapter

After 50 episodes of interviewing brilliant minds, it’s finally my turn to be on the other side of the mic! In this special episode of the #OIThursdays. Interviewed by none other than Henry Chesbrough, father of Open Innovation,

I share insights from my chapter on the challenges organizations face when implementing open innovation. I introduce a framework designed to help practitioners and strategists analyze, question, and strengthen their practice—by reflecting on (1) strategy, (2) processes, structures, and KPIs, and (3) collaboration partners. It’s a framework in motion, constantly evolving, with the hope of becoming a useful tool for shaping the future of innovation.

So grateful for this journey and excited to finally share my perspective!
