Collaborative Innovation for the Post-Crisis World

Paul Stoffels, Group Chairman of Pharma R&D for Johnson & Johnson, authored an article on open innovation in the Feb. 2 issue of the Boston Globe in which he speaks about the trend and importance of open and collaborative models for innovation.  Two things in particular impress me about this article:

1. He articulates open innovation in clear and compelling language, spoken from someone who truly understands its value and has walked the talk...  especially impressive coming from senior leadership at J&J

2. Also impressive since he's in an R&D function and obviously sees open innovation as a tool for increased leverage and productivity, and not as a threat as some R&D leaders do

Great read, so please check it out.  Thanks to Check Frey at the excellent Innovation Tools for pointing me to this article.
