Abstract

This follow-on case study provides a multi-year update on the achievements of the Open Innovation Gateway (OIG). Over time, OIG honed a process that enabled open innovation. It developed three streams of activities, namely co-creation projects with major customers and with Fujitsu’s business units, Silicon Valley explorations, and leadership training and development. Concrete examples of these activities are presented in this case study.
