Finding Innovation Success with Users and AI

Finding Innovation Success with Users and AI

Abstract

In recent years, more and more consumer goods firms have started to tap into the creative potential of their user communities to fuel their new product development pipelines. In this talk I will present a series of studies on the value of involving users into the firm’s innovation process via methods such as crowdsourcing. The studies address questions pertaining to innovation-related outcomes (quality of new product ideas) as well perceptual effects on participating and observing consumers. The talk will also discuss how recent advancements in the context of AI may further help leverage the innovation potential of user communities.
