Open Innovation = High Level User Involvement

“is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation, and expand the markets for

external use of innovation, respectively.” Prof. Henry Chesbrough

ExampleThe market does it already….

Examples

200.000 apps developed by the ‘crowd’

For the extension of the functionalities of Iphone, Ipads, Ipods

Why Open Innovation for Public

Services?Public bodies are significant spenders on products and services and yet are often distant from the most dynamic processes in our economy

Closing Innovation GAP Theory=

Innovation stagnates in EU because of

- lack of funding

- market fragmentation

- not enough process- and organizational innovation, just mainly on technological driven innovation is being focused in the EU (EIIT, European Institute for Innovation and Technology )

Open Government

• Barack Obama proclaimed in his first speech to his administration his desire for open government

• “A clear commitment changing the way government works with its citizens: Government should be transparent, participatory and collaborative”.

Citizens = customers for public services
