I have recently agreed to join Fellowforce.com as their point person in North America. Open innovation is such an incredibly exciting area, and I'm thrilled to be a part of such an innovative internet startup with limitless potential. I'm grateful that founders Ruben Robert and Jack Allerts have reached a hand across the 'pond' (Fellowforce is HQ'd in Amsterdam)
For the skinny on Open Innovation, read Wikinomics (time very well spent). If the business or organization you own or work for is looking to tap into the global marketplace of ideas, innovation and problem solving (and it should, read Wikinomics), visit Fellowforce.com and post the problem ... the 'challenge' ... that needs solved. It's easy, and affordable. Everyone, from creative 'citizen' consumers to expert professionals, can enter the various challenges for reward, fame and exposure. It's your ticket to join the global innovation arena. And doesn't everyone have an ocassional 'Eureka Moment' ... where you say "why doesn't such and such company do ____", or "why doesn't this product have ____", or "I just came up with what I think is a great idea for ___"? Well, check out the Innovation Box at Fellowforce.com. Take those innovative, creative ideas and solutions and let Fellowforce match them with appropriate companies. It could be your big break, and I wish you the very best success.
