What kind of solver should you attract for your innovation contest?
Ademir Vrolijk introduces the opportunist-transactor dichotomy, which bridges the gap of whom to attract in innovation contests and how to attract them.
In an RTM Lunch & Learn on Friday, February 3, at 12 pm EST, join us for a presentation on a concrete way to influence who shows up to solve innovation contests. There are different kinds of solvers, and some are expected to do better than others. Opportunists view the innovation contest as an onramp to a new pursuit instead of a temporary undertaking. Understanding solvers according to this new dichotomy may be a better predictor of success, according to the authors’ study. Ademir will offer a deeper understanding of participants that participate in complex contests, and he’ll provide a concrete way to influence who shows up to solve.
Lunch & Learn registrants will receive a copy of the paper, “The Opportunists in Innovation Contests,” which was published in RTM Volume 66, Issue 1.
