Ideas

Think you can predict the future? Several years in, we believe open innovation is really still in its infancy with amazing potential to grow and change.

This phase is an open space to share ideas about how open innovation and OpenIDEO might evolve. Wild ideas are welcome -- and, as always, feel free to get visual!

We'll recognize Top Contributors at the end of the challenge and acknowledge all participants in a report on IDEO's perspective on open innovation. We look forward to your creative and insightful visions of our what’s ahead!
