Innovation Challenges are not just one-time events. Through our partnership’s 25+ years of experience running 600+ challenges for organizations like Cisco, LG, and The U.S. Department of Energy, we’ve found that innovation challenges stimulate creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving among individuals and teams. These challenges serve to identify and develop breakthrough technologies and solutions to pressing environmental, social, educational, healthcare, and operational problems.
Through our partnership’s years of experience, we’ve discovered countless missed growth opportunities by organizations scouting for technology innovation. Why?
Many organizations scouting for technology innovation face the challenge of limited reach and scale. This constraint prevents them from tapping into the diverse global talent pools they need to access groundbreaking new ideas. Consequently, they run the risk of missing crucial growth opportunities and falling behind in an ever-evolving competitive landscape.
Organizations often rely on traditional sources of innovation – such as internal R&D departments, established industry partners, and well-known innovation hubs. This approach can inadvertently limit their exposure to fresh perspectives, unconventional solutions, and emerging technologies. By focusing solely on familiar channels, organizations often struggle to discover the truly disruptive ideas they need to maintain a competitive edge.
Scouting for technology innovation often involves a significant investment of time and resources spent analyzing and evaluating different options. This process can be very lengthy and costly, hindering the organization's ability to identify and implement viable solutions quickly. Moreover, the exhaustive nature of such vetting and analyzing can divert valuable resources away from other strategic initiatives, thus impeding the organization’s overall growth and progress.
