Open Service Innovation

“I am impressed by the consistency and high quality delivery by Logica, which ensures trusted partnership. Another important asset I see is the role of Logica as an active multiplier of services/products and mental models in broader business and political communities.” Mr. Bror Salmelin, Advisor to DG, DG CONNECT

Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) supports the development and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for the benefit of all citizens. Its mission is to:

  • enable a digital single market, which means a single service that allows Europeans to access their favourite (local) services or favourite (local) content wherever they are in Europe
  • support innovation and competitiveness in Europe through excellence in ICT research and development
  • encourage the widespread availability and accessibility of ICT-based services, especially those that have the greatest impact on the quality of life of the citizens
  • implement the “acquis communautaire” (EU legislation) in the area of Information Society and Media

The Challenge

Digital single market
The digital single market is about consumers being able to access content wherever they are.

Open innovation
Another fairly new term is open innovation. Popularly used while discussing the development of services based on collaborative platforms or on collaborative ecosystems, the term captures the co-creative crowd-sourcing potential and integrates societal capital to enhance services innovation.

Networking and user engagement
A third challenge is evaluating the rewards of networking from a broader perspective (not only organisational) to improve the innovation base.

Our Answer

Logica participated in an industry-led study, “OSI: Socio-Economic Impact of Open Service Innovation,” which considers the role of users and citizens in open, user-driven service innovation, as part of the industrial ecosystem, in the context of societal and ICT developments.

We were part of a consortium that was a unique combination of high level professional actors from industry and research: IBM, Intel, Nokia, Novay and Innovation Value Institute. The study was coordinated and led by
Dr Gohar Sargsyan, from Logica, an experienced programme manager and business management consultant in international multidisciplinary environments both in the public and private sectors.

Together with the consortium, we analysed the challenges of economic values, wealth generation in socio-economic terms and creation of common values and suggested successful business ecosystem approaches for service innovation.

Key benefits

  • A single European market via digital agenda for Europe and Europe2020 (e.g. single EU pension system, etc.)
  • Reduce energy consumption by engaging users in the process
  • Improve traffic flow and driver safety and assistance using open platforms and drivers’ dynamic participation
  • Reach revenues of over 5% by open services innovation in next generation banks
  • Improve patient safety and quality of care (by over 27%) at the same time to secure return on investment (by over 104%)
  • Improve organisational capabilities by over 25% using new CMM models
