Open innovation involves organizations collaborating with external actors to share knowledge, resources, and ideas. CoS can drive open innovation by establishing collaborations with startups, universities, science parks, and other companies. This can involve joint development projects, innovation challenges, or participation in incubators. CoS should create structures to manage intellectual property rights, funding, and risks, as well as ensure that the collaboration is anchored in the organization’s strategy. Open innovation requires a culture of openness and trust, which fits well with Swedish organizations with flat hierarchies and consensus. By driving open innovation, CoS can increase the speed of innovation, access to new technologies, and strengthen the organization’s competitiveness.
