100%Open

WE DO OPEN INNOVATION.

At 100%Open, we help organisations create new products and services by connecting them to the best people, ideas and technologies in the world. In a nutshell, we help the suits collaborate with the sneakers. This is open innovation and we believe it’s more efficient, creative and faster than innovating on your own.

100%Open programmes have delivered a minimum 10x return on investment for the following clients: UBS, ICRC, Unilever, Innovate UK, Nissan, Carlsberg, Interface, LEGO, E.ON, P&G, EE, Dstl and EPFL.

100%Open people are a diverse bunch with all the skills needed for successful open innovation. The talents of our network stretch from technology search to crowd facilitation and from service design to business model creation.

Meet David Simoes-Brown, our CEO. 

He's a recovering ad-man and ex-punk rocker, and when he's not creating new open strategies for clients, inventing new open innovation tools or making sure 100%Open is 100% ahead of the curve, he consistently fails to write a book on human emotions. Other so-called hobbies that get little attention are flying remote control planes, restoring old cars and making sourdough. According to our Co-Lab test, David is an 'Explorer' - this means that he is creative, inquisitive, an original thinker, and good at spotting insights.

Open innovation starts with the right mindset – but its success depends on the right skills and tools. From our extensive experience of running projects with organisations around the world, we have identified what makes a company ready for open innovation. 

• Does it have the right policies, processes and partnership approach?
• How about its purpose, people or platforms?
• Do its collaborations have sufficient pace and profitability for all partners to benefit?
