CHAIRMAN'S OVERVIEW AND KEYNOTE |
|
Innovation - Matching New Technologies with Real and
Unmet Market Needs |
|
Dr. Jay
Paap
President
Paap Associates |
|
|
The challenge of
innovation is fundamentally simple: all you have to do
is anticipate future customer needs, identify the best
technologies to address those needs, and convince your
organization to make significant investments to bring
that vision to the market � and do so before there are
hard market numbers or all the technology has been
proven!
The challenge is
overwhelming if firms attempt to do everything
themselves: the costs and risks are just too great.
However, by selectively working with others, it is
possible to overcome many of the organizational and
individual barriers to pursing innovative projects.
Building on the MIT Model of Innovation developed almost
40 years ago, Dr. Jay Paap, will identify classic
challenges to innovation, from anticipating needs
through pursuing long term projects, and show how
companies can use external sourcing to overcome many of
the most daunting obstacles to innovation. |

Internal and External Innovation Frameworks: Lessons
from the Road |
|
Dave Edwards, PhD
Chief
Technology Officer
Avery Dennison |
|
|
Avery Dennison in recent
years has explored a number of different growth and
innovation processes and learned a great deal about what
works -- and what does not. As the company acts and
learns they continue to upgrade processes to make
innovation sustainable and repeatable. Today they are
still moving down this long road: this presentation will
discuss key learnings, including detours to avoid and a
few that may be worth exploring.
Dave Edwards is
Chief Technology Officer at Avery Dennison where
innovation is a core value and integral part of company
culture. Dr. Edward's leadership includes both external
and internal innovation -- going outside for new
technologies and customer insight while simultaneously
fostering creativity inside. He joined Avery Dennison in
1999 as New Business Development Director and became CTO
in 2005. Dr. Edwards was educated at Cambridge
University, England, and graduated with a Ph.D. in
Chemical Engineering in 1984. |

Open Innovation in Response to a
Consumer-Driven Technology Strategy |
|
Ovid Romanoschi,
PhD
Director of
Applied Sciences and New Technology
Church & Dwight |
|
|
Being one of the few mid
size FMCG manufacturers in North America, with brands
that are number one or two in most markets, Church &
Dwight is in a unique position. With consistent demand
for strong organic growth, the need to maintain our
current industry leading total shareholder return, and
with a broad product portfolio underpinned by many
diverse technologies, finding and maintaining quality
external relationships as means of innovation are
essential for C&D.
Creating successful
consumer- driven products that have their roots in
external innovation, requires the right internal tools
and processes. A nimble culture of open innovation was
assured at C&D by strengthening the internal alignment
on prioritized consumer needs, by identifying,
prioritizing, and adhering to key technologies and
platforms, by articulating thoroughly technology
challenges, by adopting best practice in sourcing
technologies, and by growing and maintaining key
relationships with external partners.
Dr.
Ovid Romanoschi is the Director of Applied Sciences and
New Technology at Church & Dwight, one of the leading
fast-moving consumer products companies in North
America. He has a PhD in Chemical Engineering, and MS
degrees in both Polymer Sciences and in Applied
Statistics. Prior to his current position with C&D, in
Princeton, NJ, he worked at Mobil Chemical, Infineum (a
joint venture between ExxonMobil and Shell) and Playtex
Products. |

Successfully Bringing �Outside In� at Kraft Foods |
|
Nanako
Mura
Associate
Program Director,
Open Innovation Research, Development and
Quality
Kraft Foods, Inc. |
|
|
Leveraging external
technologies and innovation is not necessarily new.
What�s different is that in the past, it was considered
a business Opportunity, and today it is a business
Imperative. But doing Open Innovation is challenging for
companies with resources, processes and a mindset that
have traditionally focused on internal innovation.
This presentation focuses
on how Kraft Foods is approaching some of these
challenges:
-
Creating a situation where technologies have
business unit and consumer pull vs push
-
Creating processes and avenues for external
technologies to come in
-
Changing the �Not
invented here� culture
Nanako Mura provides
leadership and helps develop strategies to effectively
identify and bring in new technologies, capabilities and
ideas to deliver innovative, breakthrough new
opportunities to accelerate growth for Kraft Foods. |

Corning, Inc. |
|
|
Corning is dedicating part
of its R&D organization to the front-end of Innovation
and identification of possible future opportunities for
the company. To this end, a rigorous process has now
been in place for several years and includes a variety
of tools based on assessment of such opportunities by a
joint team of market and technology professionals. Open
Innovation on a global basis is part of this strategy.
The presentation will describe how the various elements
of this approach are articulated and put in practice.

Working with Open Innovation Brokers |
|
James
Ruiz, PhD
Research
Leader and Open Innovation Project Leader
Dow AgroSciences LLC |
|
|
Dow AgroSciences uses
several Open Innovation brokers to tap external
expertise and ideas to accelerate R&D product
development. These ideas can be good complements to the
company's internal research and are most valuable when
they can be obtained quickly and easily by R&D project
teams. This presentation will describe several changes
Dow AgroSciences has made to integrate and simplify the
process that project teams use with one Open Innovation
broker, InnoCentive, to get external ideas for problem
solving. The changes have resulted in a 50% decrease in
the time to submit problems and an increase in the
number of submissions.
James Ruiz is a
Research Leader and Open Innovation Project Leader for
Dow AgroSciences. His role is to improve current
processes and explore new ways to achieve sustainable,
scalable, open innovation models in R&D. |

Dr.
Paul
Germeraad
President
Intellectual Assets, Inc. |

externally-developed IP into their NBD / R&D pipeline --
consistent with business strategy and product /
technology roadmaps.
In this presentation,
expert Paul Gerrmeraad will give an overview of the
techniques benchmarked companies are using to meet these
objectives and obtain a solid ROI on their efforts. He
will discuss:
