Today, both tech and non-tech startups are gearing towards revolutionizing their business models with the next \u2018hip\u2019 technology that is \u2018always\u2019 on the brink of disruptive civilization.<\/p>\n<p>But with technology rapidly progressing from intuitive chat bots for customer support to predictive analytics for hiring &amp; recruitment, it has been an uphill ride for entrepreneurs to zero in on a single use-case when the tech scales are so fragilely and evenly balanced. The discussion in your boss\u2019 cubicle usually ends with these two questions left hanging in the air-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In which department technology should be most efficiently implemented?<\/li>\n<li>Internal Operations or Business Development? Customer Support or Recruitment?<\/li>\n<li>How much capital to spend on technology for each department?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your boss or co-founder is a seasoned businessman, there will be a couple of quick exchanges made over coffee, and some guy X from company Y will come up with a temporary answer for the two questions, which instead of helping the company scale will put it in another spell of unyielding business cycle.<\/p>\n<p><em>But the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century entrepreneur is a product of hardcoded righteous ideals and extraordinary perseverance. He carries with him the will to find the simplest of solutions to the most complex of problems, and ensures it is scalable. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>So what happens when two like-minded entrepreneurs, complementing each others requirement, meet and after a brilliant exchange of ideas, agree upon working parallelly, fulfilling each others requirements, creating value for the end user, while maintaining personal and organizational integrity?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 48px; color: #339966;\"><strong><em>Co-innovation<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, businesses are increasingly looking to vendors, suppliers, lead users, consumers, university labs, partner organizations and independent inventors for new ideas and insights.<\/p>\n<p>Maciej Kranz, VP Corporate Technology group, Cisco talks about three reasons why co-innovation is gaining more prominence at this time in his <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cisco.com\/innovation\/the-time-is-now-for-co-innovation-three-reasons-why\">blog<\/a> \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The customers demand it<\/li>\n<li><strong>LoB (Line of business) organizations have become major buying center for technology<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Co-innovation is the core element of modern development methodologies on a larger scale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will stress upon the second point. For IT giants, service providers and consumers, technology forms the backbone of their success and they have been using it to their advantage for decades. But there is a fourth buyer in the market today &#8211; LoB organizations \u2013 the people who handle internal operations, logistics, etc. They are collaborating with each other and leveraging technology in new and disruptive ways \u2013 thus necessitating co-innovation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nothing comes without a price (and a struggle)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oftentimes, businesses either get lost in the process of defining a sustainable co-innovation structure and have to bear the brunt of a failed co-innovation process in terms of mergers and acquisitions.
