An Introduction to CDI: Paper Products

How are Companies Using External Crowdsourcing Networks to Drive Innovation Success Rates?

In this eBook we posit a framework of ‘Challenge Driven Innovation’ in lieu of the traditional innovation approach of stage-gate management. This new framework is designed to subdivide projects into modules, not stages—modules, or ‘Challenges’, that are more amenable to sharing within a network of resources and among a variety of innovation approaches.

Why Challenge Driven Innovation?

Inside, you’ll find:

• How accessing external talent and ideas can present solutions in as little as 30 days
• How our “7 stages of Challenge Driven Innovation” reduces innovation costs and risks, and times to market
• The 4 major steps of open innovation Challenges we create and present to our global innovation community of over 500,000 problem solvers
• How NASA, P&G, and others have succeeded using our Challenge Driven Innovation methodology
