Most companies have a difficult time in deciding on which consultants or service providers to choose to assist in planning and implementing an Open and Collaborative innovation (OCI) strategy. Exnovate intends to play a role in matching up these companies and OCI vendors.
The main target is to increase transparency and to guarantee the quality of the solutions or services provided. There are different ways to achieve these objectives. Exnovate is currently exploring some initiatives to reach this target by.
