Tool: Innovation Exchange
An online database of 250 case studies of corporate innovation—from Best Buy to YouTube—will appear in the Innovation Exchange developed by associate professor Vijay Kumar of Chicago’s Institute for Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology (vijay@id.iit.edu). Users can visualize and compare data to see patterns. The tool also will include live chat and wiki features to encourage engineers, managers, and designers to swap analyses of the archived case studies.
