Changing the Innovation Paradigm

  • Innovate the right product, not just any product
  • Improve Main Parameters of Value, not all parameters
  • Address key problems, not the initial problems
  • Focus on functions, not on components
  • Resolve contradictions, don’t compromise or optimize
  • Select evolutionary winners, not losers
  • Leverage global knowledge, not just internal expertise
  • Adapt existing solutions, don’t invent

“There are four main reasons we continue to use GEN3 as our Open Innovation partner:

  • Breadth and depth of technical talent
  • Effectiveness of the methodology
  • Speed of project execution and
  • The fact that there is never an issue surrounding IP — the client owns it.”
