How can EarlyBirds help organisations develop edge through strategic innovation? - Kalkine Media

Businesses today find themselves in the middle of a grand experiment in non-hierarchical forms of organising. To meet the challenges that a business’s operating environment may put up, as well as to trigger growth, the business has to be capable of experimenting with innovative ideas.

During the implementation of any innovation, the business needs to be alert to the possibility of uncertainties that may arise and be prepared to meet them with different contingencies. This is where EarlyBirds, a company fostering innovation across organisations on a global scale, excels, providing unique solutions to business-specific needs.

EarlyBirds open innovation ecosystem

EarlyBirds’ OSINT platform, an open innovation ecosystem, and services bring together early adopters, innovators, and subject matter experts (SMEs) and facilitate business innovations as well as their adoption and implementation.

At a business-specific level, EarlyBirds can help organisations with strategic innovation that is intended to stimulate growth. EarlyBirds encourages businesses to evolve into early adopters and take part in the open innovation ecosystem system.

Through EarlyBirds’ ecosystem, such early-adopter organisations can get in touch with various innovators, including start-ups, scale-ups, and mature organisations, as well as SMEs. This can further help their pursuit of novel technologies that can accelerate the growth of the business via strategic innovations.
