Insight from NineSigma’s Open Innovation Leadership Summit

“From Hallmark Cards, which invented augmented-reality greeting cards to improve its top line, to General Motors, which partnered with NASA to develop a robotic assistant to supplement human activity, the message is clear: collaborating on innovation is not an option; it’s a competitive necessity.
