Welcome to Pact’s Prediction Market for the Open Innovation Workshop. Innovative solutions to development problems require adopting a network mindset that creates pathways for new ideas from outside the boundaries of our own institutions. But what core processes are most likely to support open innovation?

Four models were examined in the workshop and are represented here as a stock. They are:

• InnoCentive
• NineSigma
• Big Idea Group
• InnovationXchange

As a trader, you get $5000 in play money to buy and sell shares. It’s your job to try and identify the most powerful model based on available information and experiences. In addition to trading, please also post your comments to share insights and opinions.

Playing is easy, but if you’re feeling the need, take a look at the bottom of this page for some tips. For more information, click on support.

Be sure to check back often as patterns shift. Spot trends early and reap the rewards. The top three traders will win a $25 credit at the IDS book store.
