The question is if the truly innovative people will join large corporations. Some of the large companies I have worked with express that they lack innovation power because it is hard for them to attract the right talent. As we move to more and more open innovation programs, it is as important for the big companies to spot external innovations as to create their own. Pieter Paul @Nicky,

There are two kinds of innovations, the good ones and the bad ones. It is the marked that determines if an innovation is good or bad. We never hear of a small start-up companies that comes up with a bad innovation, because they gets killed off really fast by the marked. Big companies that has both the capital and power to push both good and bad innovation to the marked, and since they have the money and power to back bad innovations well it takes longer for the marked to turn down the bad innovations. We have to remember that innovation is not made by companies but by humans working in the companies. But it all comes down to not the size of the company but the culture, and the vision and courage of the management. I don’t agree with your premises that big companies can’t innovate.

I agree overall with your message. I see a big gap between small, quicksilver-like innovative startups and big corporate. Whenever I visit a conference like LeWeb, Reboot or The Next Web, read the blogs or talk to peers it becomes quite clear that there is a bridge to be build between the two. Why? Because I think big corporate can learn a lot from the entrepreneurial spirit and creative thinking that is present at the startups while the latter needs big corporate to scale and have a real impact. The innovation from the small needs to match with society and therefore with Fortune 500 in order to make a dent. On the great manager part - I feel more intrapreneur/marketeer than manager personally, but I see your overall point :) Boris – thanks for the visit, interesting and promising talks.

It was great fun discussing with you and Patrick yesterday about innovation in general and this award in particular! We are hoping for all of the readers to submit their concepts so we can create a full overview of innovation in the industry. We are actually also working on the FILTHY RICH part. We are organising speed dates between startups and the big industry players one or two weeks after the Innovation Award Seminar (23/10/2008). My personal goal is to get one or more of your readers to make a great exit based on those speed dates! Good luck with this great blog, Pieter Paul Boris!
