The developed Innovation Essentials enables the innovation collaboration partners to set up the relationship in a clear way, establish ownership of IP in an early stage and also improve the collaboration maturity within and in between the partners during the project. Innovation Essentials provides high-level support of 8 practices including alphas, activities, work products and patterns that facilitates a successful collaboration. It´s based on an OMG standard called Essence. The projects can configure their usage, guidance is included and it enables continuous health checks.
