\n<\/strong>Therefore, the process of examining future events (foresight) while considering multiple sources of innovation has become an essential challenge but also an opportunity for value creation. To \u2018open up\u2019 a foresight process by integrating external sources (e.g., suppliers, users, or communities) \u2013 and their respective store of knowledge \u2013 holds great potential. This is the very idea of Open Foresight.<\/p>\n
What is the value contribution of Open Foresight? What is the project\u2019s agenda and what are the objectives? Primary research questions are:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are interested as a company or business cluster to participate in our project, please do not hesitate to contact us (see below). More information can be found in our flyer (only available in German):<\/p>\n In addition to our research in the clusters, we want to determine how online communities can be used for foresight. With the help of netnography, we already analysed some online communities regarding their potential for foresight. Besides that we are currently examining in the field of open source software and operating systems how online communities can be used actively in shaping the future, eg. in the form of an idea contest.<\/p>\n Funding authority:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Participants of the Open Foresight process will be given the chance to benefit from the multi-faceted and complementary information stock that is held by the representatives of various companies in the cluster and set-up a collaborative foresight process. The goal is the early identification of relevant changes. By doing so, strategic reaction patterns can be derived to protect organizational competitiveness, e.g. by mitigating financial risks, allocating resources more efficiently, and anticipating customer requirements while developing customized product solutions before others do.
\nIn addition, participants may deliberate upon actively shaping the future markets by encouraging new strategic partnerships or by engaging in joint projects.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The project got funded by the Hamburg Ministry of Science and Research and is conducted in co-operation with the University of Hamburg (UHH), the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and the Hyve AG, Munich. The research partners strive to develop a collaborative and open foresight process comprising several companies from different technology clusters in the Hamburg area.<\/p>\n\n
