Creator Connection Announces New Strategy

The first open-innovation network based in the San Francisco / Silicon Valley area for a growing, creative population worldwide.

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2004 -- Creator Connection today announced its open-innovation network strategy for business, creative, and technology professionals across industries worldwide. According to Erick Mott, founder of Creator Connection, the new strategy was implemented in response to three significant trends: open innovation; innovation networks; and a growing, creative population including disciplines such as designers, scientists, engineers, artists, and independent consultants.

With its web-based application called CreatorBase®, Creator Connection provides a means of connecting the right people and ideas with innovation and project work opportunities-regardless of the source or original intent of intellectual property (IP) created for products, services and business models. Our open-innovation network strategy is an evolution of our original software-as-a-service model," said Erick Mott, founder of Creator Connection. We provide the collaborative platform with CreatorBase and a growing membership with extended relationships. Now more than ever, enterprise leaders are looking outside their organizations to expand R&D and to drive IP transfer into the marketplace. I anticipate well see more companies letting go of conventional 'not invented here thinking as the economy improves and competitive threats increase from a global perspective."

Henry Chesbrough, author of Open Innovation, and Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class write extensively about how societies, industries, businesses, and individuals are changing the way they organize, innovate, and create value-locally and globally. Much of this transformation can be attributed to technological and social developments with the Internet. In a June 2004 report, Forrester Research conveys that a new market ecosystem, called Innovation Networks, will emerge to match global demand for innovation with worldwide supply. Creator Connections mission is to become a leading open-innovation network by serving members, clients, partners, investors and consumers worldwide.

Creator Connection is a San Francisco / Silicon Valley area open-innovation network founded in March 2002 with the goal of helping business, creative, and technology professionals worldwide to connect, innovate, and work online. Creator Connection operates a web-based application, called CreatorBase, that provides members and guests effective, low-cost communication, innovation, and collaboration services-accessible anytime and from anywhere.
