Foundation for Open Innovation, Part 1: Invention vs. Innovation
How many times have you heard from a co-worker - “I’m not a scientist or engineer; I can’t innovate.” This frame of mind frustrates many forward thinking managers and stands in the way of systematic creative work, especially in technical environments. This blog post defines invention and innovation, setting the stage for a broader Open Innovation discussion.

Chasing Unicorns
In search of the elusive “ideal webcast”

Pricing Drivers in Medical Device: What’s Your View?
You might recall Brian Sharp recently published a viewpoint on five pricing and value management challenges that were identified by over 500 medical device professionals by asking question: “What is the biggest pricing and value management challenge facing the medical device industry?” While this provided us with a look at pricing and value management opportunities and the general state of value capture, of course it raised additional questions.

Innovation in a Jobless Recovery = Strategy + Process + Technology + People
In late September, Aberdeen will host a Leadership in Product Development summit in Boston. This year’s summit theme is Innovation Strategies for a Jobless Recovery.

Searching for Web 2.0 & Social Media Innovators
There's a lot of talk and research out there on the value of social media for marketing, branding, and PR. Amongst the 700+ people I follow on Twitter I'd wager that 90% of the tweets touch on this to some degree. But what about the use of social media for innovation efforts? That got us thinking here at Kalypso.

Bowl Championship Series Rankings & New Product Development Scoring Systems
A computer doesn’t adequately account for heart and character
So my Longhorns lost the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship game to a team named after an algae bloom. Not that I am bitter, but I believe that Sandra Bullock deserves to win Best Actress for pretending to be all hot and bothered when meeting Nick Saban in The Blind Side. I don’t like that guy and neither does she.

Increased Regulatory Scrutiny in Consumer Products
Four reasons why industry leaders aren’t losing sleep
Over the last several years, consumer product safety crises - from peanut butter to spinach to toys - and their subsequent large-scale recalls have damaged public opinion. Heavily scrutinized and publicized in the media, these events have not only hurt consumer trust in household brands but have affected all consumer goods companies by ricochet. Incidentally, these major recalls have also created momentum for governments to act, catalyzing and accelerating regulatory scrutiny of industries across the globe.
