Pratictioners vs Researchers
But: practioners are also researchers and researchers are als practitioners (managers)

move into the tornado phase,
then ESRI is probably going to
lose its market leadership

Innovation = invention + bring into common usage*
Only little consensus…
Conway, Stewart, 2009
1. What’s the innovation?

2. Who benefits from innovation?

3. Who leads the innovation?
Consider: “Innovation”
• Sometimes not what you think it is.
• Sometimes, others benefits more then you do.
• Often, users lead, and some more, then others.

“Certain companies go all the way to
appear open”
-> beware of the positive social value of
“openness”

Conclusions
• Open Innovation does exist in the Geo-information sector in the Netherlands
• Factors of importance are only internal-to-the-organization factors
• Top tier innovation projects are hardly related to open innovation concepts
There is an intention to open the books on innovation, now the books on innovation can be opened.

Suggestion for further research: time
Suggestion for further research:
how different is OI adoption from other
forms of management innovation?

Geo-information?
thrives on openness
requires a balanced ecosystem
optimal diffusion of knowledge?
Geo-information?
overlapping value chains?
appropriation settled, at the start?
Trust as a key factor?
How on earth…?
Concluding
• Opennes and Geo-information are strongly interconnected
• An Open Innovation eco system could greatly benefit our sector
• A next step, case study research?
• We all choose a position on the open/closed continuum!
Final thought
Way more smart people do NOT work for Esri….
…“all” we have to do is connect (to) them!
