“IMAGINE a planetarium-style presentation about the future
of technology, followed by a tour of dozens of hands-on
exhibits….
Is it the latest science museum, or a new Disney attraction?
No, it’s the “World of Innovation” showroom, a cornerstone
of the 3M Company’s customer innovation center at its
headquarters in St. Paul.”

Collaborative Innovation Challenges Challenge Area How to Address
Sharing the spoils with partners • Ensure win-win for you and partners
• Anticipate / design up front
Intellectual Property • Work under joint development agreements
• Employ sponsored research with academia
“Not Invented Here” syndrome • Reward and recognize “collaboration”
Scientists’ preference for discovery
and inventing
• Redefine scientist role from “invent” to “invent
and integrate”… and reward it.
