Occasionally someone innovates the discipline of innovation. Henry Chesbrough is one of those people. He is the first person to clearly define the new innovation strategy that is restructuring r&d worldwide—open innovation. Open innovation seeks and develops new ideas found outside your own organization and to license to others your own intellectual property.
