23 September 2021

As an Early Adopter, you are a leader or influencer in your organisation who understands the value of innovation and you have a strong desire to identify new and disruptive Innovators to seize opportunities, solve challenges or create new products and services. Working with EarlyBirds, you can solve challenges and seize opportunities with actionable open innovations from Innovators, including startups, scaleups and mature organizations

Australian based EarlyBirds would like to reach out to organisations that are looking for a way to source disruptive innovators to solve certain business and technical challenges. EarlyBirds understands that some of the obstacles to finding a resolution to these challenges is insufficient data and the talent who can explore various possibilities in search of a practical answer. The EarlyBirds open innovation ecosystem seeks to connect those looking for answers with those who have the talent and resources using their platform and services. Earlybirds.io is one of the most powerful platforms with services available to organisations, early adopters, looking to innovate, due to the unique networking opportunities the platform offers all its members.

“If you want to build capability with competitive edge and agility, we call you an early adopter,” says Kris Poria, Cofounder of EarlyBirds. “As an Early Adopter, you are a leader or influencer in your organisation who understands the value of innovation and you have a strong desire to identify new and disruptive Innovators to seize opportunities, solve challenges or create new products and services. Working with EarlyBirds, you can solve challenges and seize opportunities with actionable open innovations from Innovators, including startups, scaleups and mature organizations.”

Sourcing disruptive solutions to solve business or technical challenges requires innovation and connectedness. Fortunately, EarlyBirds’ reach is global in scope, spanning a large number of innovators, Early Adopters and Subject Matter Experts. By making use of this vast network of industry experts and educating businesses to be self-learning organizations, EarlyBirds helps members achieve continuous improvements in all areas and enables them to solve both business and technical challenges quickly.

There are several ways you can work with EarlyBirds to source disruptive solutions to solve these challenges. EarlyBirds offers both self-service and assisted programs where you can blend what you need with your own capabilities, or you can outsource it all to EarlyBirds. Self-services include subscription to the platform and undertaking training in the platform and EarlyBirds program frameworks to source, identify, curate innovators yourself.

The assisted programs are called Explorer and Challenger. “The Explorer program is designed for organisations needing Innovation as a Service to supplement existing innovation sourcing programs or to conduct innovation projects as required,” says Jeff Penrose, Co-founder of EarlyBirds.

“The Challenger program is designed to solve one business or technical challenge at a time, then search for relevant Innovators that meet the business, technical, commercial and business risk requirements. The Early Adopter can evaluate the selected Innovators sourced from the EarlyBirds big data. After a process of curation and evaluation a candidate Innovator is selected then an agreed roadmap is developed for the way forward. These programs dramatically shorten the innovation life cycle where organizations in the past might be creating solutions and be unaware as to what is already available or developing in the market. Now, with the EarlyBirds platform, organizations can find and engage with Innovators that already have potential solutions to their business challenges.”
 

Searching the EarlyBirds big data of more than one million Innovators is simplified with an easy-to-use intuitive UI that helps you navigate through and discover disruptive solutions. There is much more to the EarlyBirds platform including an ability to create an Innovation Project to record your Challenge statement, set up curation criteria, invite other to participate and then store, discuss, and shortlist candidate Innovators.

 

Those who make use of EarlyBirds to source disruptive innovators come from a highly diverse set of backgrounds, including a variety of disciplines, industries, and geographic regions. EarlyBirds is a nexus where users can discover and learn about innovations, ideas, products and services that have the potential to completely revolutionize the way they do business and approach a myriad of issues.
