HP Labs embrace Open Innovation to move fast in the market

On June 5th, HP Labs presented its new research blueprint based on three key elements: highly focused research on the five fields that (according to HP) will shape the computing industry’s future, Open Innovation, and strategic knowledge transfer. The last two components have been deemed particularly instrumental in re-aligning HP Labs’ objectives and intents to extend its research beyond the traditional vertically-integrated way of doing in-house research. This document aims at exploring the concept of Open Innovation and describing how HP is deploying practices of this kind to propel innovation and accelerate the time to market of its products.
