The Accelerating Open Innovation training course equips organisations to replace closed innovation models with collaborative approaches that deliver faster, more sustainable outcomes. As competitive pressure grows and knowledge becomes increasingly distributed, effective cooperation with external partners is essential for remaining ahead. It examines collaboration with universities, research institutions, technology centres and industry partners as external creators of knowledge. Participants receive a practical, strategic framework for adopting open innovation while preserving internal strengths and strategic control.
Participants will understand the cultural move from siloed thinking and secrecy towards transparency, shared value and co-creation. Real-world examples and structured learning show how integrating internal teams with external knowledge sources can prevent organisations from reinventing existing solutions. Participants learn to use external expertise to accelerate innovation cycles while strengthening internal innovation through knowledge creation unavailable from outside sources. The course also provides practical tools for developing positive, productive partner relationships and embedding open innovation within organisational culture.
