Bringing Hands On Experience to Your Challenge
Since Open Innovation (OI) is a relatively new discipline there are very few people who bring significant, hands-on experience to share with your staff. Having established and developed successful OI programs in multiple companies and business sectors, the Danian staff can apply that experience to your specific needs. We are available to provide organizational support to companies in all stages of Open Innovation development

- identify the required skill sets and resource requirements
- highlight likely challenges and means to address them
- develop a deployment plan and timeline
- define realistic objectives and budget requirements
- develop a business proposal focused on return on investment
- assist in the selection of a new team
- interact with the business to define process governance and clarify needs
- develop tools and process for technology scouting
