For many organisations, Innovation is an engaging strategy for growth, pivotal to future success and prosperity. Unfortunately though, it comes with few guarantees, is loaded with risks of all kinds, and whatever you do, and however well you do it, you will be wrong (somewhere). This is not necessarily always a problem, and through learning we can correct the mistakes. Innovation and learning are not separate entities, they are, an inseparable rhythm, just like breathing. This session explores how Mars has set about embedding new innovation approaches in the organisation, sharing some of the learning's along the way.

Open Innovation contests are more challenging the more complex the topic of the contest is. A topic can more easily be socialized if the ideas are of the type WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet (WYSIWYG). This talk presents the experience of Siemens with its global Open Innovation contest in the complex field of smart grids.
The contest was performed in two phases:
Phase 1: the public idea contest: everything was visible to everybody in the world;
Phase 2: the Call-for-Research- Proposals for Universities only: confidential "closed-room".
