NineSigma
NineSigma (www.ninesigma.com) is a leading provider of Open Innovation services to Global 1000 companies.
NineSigma's expertise in connecting companies with leading edge sources of innovation comes from executing well over 1,200 Open Innovation projects for companies across industries. NineSigma leverages proprietary tools and methodologies to help define the innovation seeker's need and find relevant
solutions from industry, academia, public/private research labs and non-profit organizations. Its open network of innovators is the largest of its kind and spans industries, geographies and technical disciplines. Companies including DuPont, GlaxoSmithKline, Kraft, P&G, Philips, Unilever, Ashland
and Xerox engage NineSigma to help them find leading edge sources of innovation that may be hidden in adjacent disciplines or industries. NineSigma creates
"unobvious" connections for its clients that drive real value in their innovation programs.
NineSigma offers a comprehensive set of services to accelerate innovation including:
- Request for Proposals (RFP) - NineSigma's proven RFP process helps translate the client's business or technology need and distribute it to a broad community of innovation providers across industries and technical disciplines to find a solution that can be adapted or readily
applied.
- Request for Solution (RFS) - A complementary service to the NineSigma RFP, the RFS communicates a client's request for a known "solution" to the global innovation community. RFS can accelerate the finding and acquisition of the solution for companies that are searching for
suppliers of ready to deliver ingredients, materials or components.
- RapidOIsm Program - NineSigma has designed a multi-step program specifically to support the launch of an OI program. The Rapid OI program incorporates NineSigma's proven Request for Proposal process and is based on our experience with Global 1000 clients across industries.
RapidOI is a combination of methodology and consulting that leads the client team through the development and implementation of a successful OI program.
- OI+sm Program - NineSigma's OI+sm Program is a customized, completely facilitated program to lead client teams through the assessment and acquisition of externally developed technologies. Using a proprietary evaluation process designed
to accurately capture information and speed evaluation, NineSigma's OI+Team interfaces with the company's open innovation team to integrate best practices in bringing external solutions in-house.
- Innovation Exchange Summit - NineSigma leverages its Innovation Alliance Program and global solution provider network to connect clients to specific, hard-to-find technologies or capabilities in selected regions where engaging innovation partners is difficult to do on one's
own.
- Innovation Monitoring – NineSigma provides a methodology and corresponding work processes to search global innovation sources to derive deep insights regarding a core technology or competency that is a key differentiator for the client.
