Vendors:• DO’s
– Clearly communicate your expectations– Be Open: Accept new ideas– Share Data– Actively manage the project (find your ‘Man from
Milwaukee’). Invest more than money!
• DON’T ‘s– Don’t be paranoid about protecting your IP, you’re not that
unique!– You’re Not!– Don’t expect 3rd parties code/design to work right out of the
box, invest in learning and applying/improving the idea. There are no free lunches.

Academics/3rd Party:• DO’s
– Research the Problem before you approach vendors– Communicate/Manage expectations– Insist on involving the vendor in your research group– Get approval for publications– Work on a schedule, deadlines are real!
• DON’T ‘s– Stop solving problems that are only problems because they make good
papers but hold no practical merit.– Don’t solve problems that don’t need to be solved (Research)– Respect the vendors’ experience. You really do not understand the
problem better than they do.– You really don’t!– Under-promise and over-deliver– Talk to your technology transfer people, not every idea is worth $10M

Case Study• Eli Lilly:
– Lilly was very secretive about its research, they didn’t want others to know what they are working on
– Then they introduced InnoCentive.com

Innocentive Results
• Major success public grand challenges started here (?)
• Most interesting Conclusion:– Outsiders do solve
difficult problems, problems that stumped the experts!
• Define Outsiders:– People working on the
margins of their field, boundaries of their disciplines. NOT traditional experts.
– Natural Outsiders: Young People. They don’t know that your problem is impossible, so they solve it.
