Key Question
Q1. What is our open innovation strategy?
Role of this tool
This tool helps you assess the collaboration skills that you have and those of your team or
company. Everyone has a role to play when it comes to collaborative innovation, but
individuals need to know where they fit in. The aim is to have a balance of skills across the
whole innovation process.
How do we use it?
To find out your collaboration style, take our profiling test. Knowing your strengths and
weaknesses could make all the difference to you and your team, and help collaboration to
succeed.
