Main advantages of Multistep Dynamic Expert Sourcing
Implementing the MDES approach with the right technological and methodological assets (i.e. a powerful Expert Search Engine and a relevant methodology to enhance problem formulation) presents strong advantages for experts, seekers and Open Innovation intermediaries...
A Guide to Open Innovation & Crowdsourcing
We are pleased to announce the release of the book on Open Innovation and Crowdsourcing that we have co-authored. The new book, called A Guide to Open Innovation & Crowdsourcing, edited by Paul Sloane was launched this week. Paul Sloane manage to pull together...
Multistep Problem Solving Process
Multistep rather than black box The multistep approach allows to engage experts and to satisfy seekers, in a safe, secured and trustable environment. It ensures better performance for problem solving, less frustration among solvers and less disappointment among...
Expert Sourcing and Dynamic aspect
Expert sourcing rather than crowdsourcing To solve highly critical and technological problems, a company needs experts, not random solvers. This is why MDES relies on highly skilled experts rather than solvers. Dynamic (or On-Demand) rather than subscription-based As...
A disruptive approach: Multistep Dynamic Expert Sourcing (MDES)
Expert Sourcing The French startup PRESANS developed and implemented the Multistep Dynamic Expert Sourcing (MDES) approach. It relies on a combination between a state-of-the-art web-mining technology and a secured multistep problem solving process. In this approach,...
Confidentiality and intellectual property issues are poorly addressed
Confidentiality. This is the big issue on the client side Companies using Open Innovation Platforms are mostly concerned by the confidentiality of the information they provide to the intermediary and to the rest of the world. Even if the name of the company remains...
Matching algorithm and process fail to engage solvers into problem solving
How can we ensure that the Need is broadcast to the right potential experts, without narrowing or broadening too much the broadcast and and do we ensure that we manage to engage these potential experts? Tradeoff between targeting and large broadcast To maximize the...
Registration Yields a Weak Number of Solvers
As an intermediary, how can you constantly find new and interested solvers around the world (i.e. people ready to propose solutions to technological problems)? You need efficient incentives to attract them on your platform, to make them subscribe, to engage them in...
Where Open Innovation Crowdsourcing Platforms Fail
The way Open Innovation crowdsourcing platforms work is rather simple, at least in principle: they help companies to match a problem or a need to an existing solution or to somebody able to solve the problem. Underlying requirements are (i) a large pool of problems,...
Getting help with open innovation
Dr Letizia Mortara, Research Associate at the Institute for Manufacturing’s Centre for Technology Management (University of Cambridge) has just released a new report on Open Innovation. The idea is that the new paradigm of Open Innovation is an innovation itself and...
