OI: Are you Ready?

The Open Innovation Readiness Testing Game

OI: Are you Ready?

Game overview

OI: Are You Ready (Pharma Edition) is a tool for assessment of industry executives’ readiness for Open Innovation (OI). The pharma edition has been derived from deep insight from Niclas Nilsson, the then Head of R&D Open Innovation at Leo Pharma, Denmark.

THE PROBLEM:

Open Innovation is currently seen as an alternate approach to traditional Innovation pathways in firms. However, in traditional industries like pharmaceuticals as an example, open innovation is not as widely spread and often viewed as being counterintuitive – i.e., how to be open in secretive environments? While many Innovation departments or managers may be willing to try out Open Innovation – how ready are they for it?

THE SOLUTION:

This cheekily named workshop game, is designed to test your “readiness” for Open Innovation. Rather than teaching the concepts of Open Innovation outright, the game immerses you in an experiential journey, where your decisions and actions determine whether you truly engage with Open Innovation—or not.

The game takes a solution-oriented approach to addressing the most common barriers to Open Innovation, as identified by experts in the pharmaceutical industry. By the end of the game, you will have pinpointed opportunities to overcome these agreed-upon barriers. You will finally figure out if you arrived at your solutions through Open Innovation principles or rely on traditional innovation approaches.

The GAME:

The game starts by highlighting industry-specific barriers rather than directly teaching Open Innovation (OI). This helps teams build a shared understanding, establish common language, and set expectations within industry context. With intuitive and simple rules, players explore ways to overcome these barriers, and whether they can do so using OI.

Who can play

This game is specifically designed for executives in the pharmaceutical industry. However, related industries may also find it valuable, as the barriers identified by pharmaceutical experts often prove to be surprisingly universal and applicable across various sectors.

Key outcomes

The realization that OI is doable even in the most traditional of companies and that barriers can and should be overcome.

If you struggled to embrace openness or apply OI principles during the game, it might indicate that you’re not quite ready for Open Innovation just yet. Consider deepening your understanding of OI knowledge and best practices before giving the game another try.

Gameplay

OI: Are you Ready? is a game that tests your readiness towards Open Innovation by seeing whether or not you engage in principles of Open Innovation intuitively or not. In a workshop format, the facilitator will let participants identify certain barriers to open innovation and then come up with opportunities to overcome said barriers.

Winning condition

The team with the most diverse information and output using open innovation principles can be identified as a the most OI friendly team in the game and thus the winner.
