About Induct and the Theoretical framework

    Hi Kenny and David, here are some questions from todays session that we didn´t have time to adress:
    1. How can we introduce with effectiveness open
    innovation in industrial sectors very traditional and less innovative as for
    istance the constructions’ sector?
    2. I have the same question too. I’m wondering how we can
    persuade  politicians & the public sector to be open to our ideas?3. Would you recomend a centralized or decentralized ogranisation for innovation initiatives?

    • Kenny

      What about less innovative sectors? If the challenge or problem is important enough, and you are not a criminal, innovation needs to happen. There might be some charactistics which might be challenging, for instance: Is there a culture for involving employees or subcontractors?  Is there a general fear of openness, due to traditional negotiation/procurement procedures? Does some actors prefer crime/corruption/fraud instead of innovation? Is there a myth that innovation is mostly product development or research? Anyway, I think we need to find out: Do we have an urgent problem/challenge? What are our options? Who would we involve to solve it?  And then: Lets get started
