A collaboration & innovation network for the pharma, nutritional and medical device sector

What are the benefits of collaborative innovation?

There are many benefits from collaborative innovation when it’s done well. For example:

• By working together, you can potentially make faster progress and do so more efficiently
• You can build stronger processes and more robust solutions because you’ve had more diverse input into the innovation itself
• acquire technology and knowledge you currently don't have
• Diversity, including difference of opinions, backgrounds, experiences, is really a fantastic asset to have when you’re innovating because it really does lessen risk if you’ve got people seeing things from different angles. It helps you spot things and reduce the risk of any blind spots.
• Collaborative innovation helps with skills development and builds new and existing relationships 

If you are interested in collaborative innovation with your technical suppliers, partners or customers, then we offer you a network and the tools to acheive this successfully. Our profiles offer both information and interaction for both supplier and customer to develop knowledge and assurance off each others activities. We have developed applications that includes supplier on-boarding, document exchange and approval, including e-signatures, task setting and management, questionnaire software for auditing purposes including reporting and scoring results and sharing with repsondents. Also organising, categorising and tiering of vendors including identifying risk and reporting on this.

Our company profiles are the initial self-maintained activity that companies on-board with and then use to update and communicate with customers and potential partners. The profiles provide a dynamic interface that visitors can use to evaluate service providers across a number of differrent categories, including media such as video, social media and news. Selected companies can be then saved, categorised and scored to enable futher qualification tasks on the path to becomeing a technical partner.

The platform is used by a wide range of professional personnel from supply chain, quality assurance management, production/operations, clinical trials, research and development, packaging and logistics.

I look forward to working with you, to help build  your collaborative innovation activity with your key suppliers, techincal partners or customers.
