Webinar Summary
McCain Foods Limited’s R&D team recently launched an innovation platform called NEXT. The purpose of the NEXT team is to unlock science and technology opportunities for the business using an open innovation approach. The objective of the presentation is to chronicle McCain’s journey in creating the NEXT innovation program, and provide insight into techniques and tactics that have led to the program’s internal success. Creation of the platform has also uncovered hurdles and barriers in developing an innovation program. This is not meant to be an innovation “How To” session, but to provide the listener with information from McCain’s experiences developing an innovation platform. Seeing behind the curtains of this journey will hopefully provide insights and ideas to stimulate the listeners’ own innovation efforts big or small.
If you are someone who has an interest in Innovation (R&D, Innovation team members), this webinar is for you!
What attendees will take away:
- What does open innovation mean to McCain Foods
- What worked for McCain in creating the innovation platform
- What didn’t work for McCain – potential watch outs or lessons for others
