Open innovation is about when a company or project makes use of ideas, of innovation, outside the traditional framework.

An example could be that a company needs a new solution for distribution that factors in supply and demand of buyers and suppliers. Instead of buying this system they look inside the company or at its employees to see if that kind of talent or innovation can be created outside the traditional company structure.
