Open Innovation and Knowledge Management for Transformational Growth Training Course

Introduction

Open innovation has become a vital strategy for organizations seeking to harness external and internal knowledge to drive creativity, accelerate R&D, and gain a competitive advantage. Integrating knowledge management (KM) into open innovation processes ensures that insights, expertise, and intellectual assets are effectively captured, shared, and applied to co-create value with partners, stakeholders, and customers. This synergy enhances collaboration, reduces duplication, and improves the efficiency of innovation pipelines.

This training course equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to implement KM-driven open innovation strategies. Participants will explore frameworks, methodologies, and digital tools that facilitate knowledge sharing, collaborative problem-solving, and co-creation with external and internal partners. By the end of the program, learners will be able to design and manage open innovation initiatives that leverage organizational knowledge to generate innovative products, services, and processes with measurable impact.
