The Global Brain:

Your Roadmap for Innovating Faster and Smarter in a Networked World
Front Cover
2 Reviews
Pearson Prentice Hall, Oct 12, 2007 - Business & Economics - 304 pages
All the talk about "open innovation" and externally-focused innovation assumes that "one size fits all" in terms of what network-centric innovation is and how companies should harness external creativity. But the reality is that there is no one right way to master this tool. For instance, loosely governed community-based innovation projects are a very different animal from tightly-orchestrated development projects driven by a large firm. As the landscape of network-centric innovation becomes more diverse and more confusing, there is a desperate need to structure the landscape to better understand different models for network-centric innovation. This book brings clarity to the confusion. Further, it argues that managers cannot rely on anecdotal success stories they read about in the press to implement a network-centric innovation strategy. They need rigorous and analytical advice on what role their company should play in an innovation network, what capabilities they need to create, and how they need to prepare their organization for this significant shift in the innovation approach. This book offers a practical and detailed roadmap for planning and implementing an externally-focused innovation strategy.

This book does an extensive review of the various ways of doing "Open Innovation" and leveraging people outside your organization in the innovation process.
It does so using many current (~2005/6
?) examples from multiple fields, some of which you may have heard of and some which maybe new to you.
Even if you are familiar with some or many of the examples, the studies of them are well done and provide a good evaluation of them. Also, it organizes the many examples and concepts (again, that you maybe familiar with) into a clean and useful framework that adds value - even if you were familiar with all the examples.
