Australian based EarlyBirds would like to assist its ‘Early Adopters’ who may be looking to implement their innovation strategies. As a CEO and head of strategy, an individual may find themselves facing difficulties with the implementation of an innovation strategy, and this is where EarlyBirds can help by identifying key issues and putting their clients’ strategies into action. The platform aims to create self-learning organizations which, EarlyBirds’ believes, may be the solution to finding ways of implementing innovation strategies.

Those who understand the value of innovation and have a desire to identify and implement innovative strategies are referred to as Early Adopters by EarlyBirds. These individuals are always looking for ways to solve challenges or create new products and services. Working with EarlyBirds allows them to solve challenges and seize opportunities with actionable open innovations from Innovators. The global open innovation ecosystem connects Innovators with Early Adopters and other experts in order to accelerate the speed of innovation and create an ‘innovation culture’ that can solve business and technical challenges.

In the EarlyBirds Explorer and Challenger programs, Subject Matter Experts work as independent consultants in a gig economy model. They work directly with Early Adopters to identify and come up with solutions to challenges both quickly and securely. The Explorer program is made for businesses that need innovation as a service to supplement existing innovation programs or to conduct innovation projects as and when they are required. The Challenger program, on the other hand, is designed to solve one business or technical challenge at a time. These two programs make it possible to evaluate Innovators and create a roadmap that EarlyBirds users can follow.

EarlyBirds has a long and interesting history behind it. The many years of experience and variety of issues the platform has addressed over the years have made EarlyBirds into the powerful innovation hub it is today. Kris Poria, one of the company’s co-founders, first had the idea while working for a large systems integrator on a significant project that needed a solution to manage a multi cloud environment. A series of events led to a number of professionals missing opportunities to come up with effective, innovative solutions and build up their skills. This led to the two founders of EarlyBirds, Kris Poria and Jeff Penrose, putting their skills together to build a platform aimed at linking tech Innovators, startups, scaleups and mature with Early Adopter clients in both private and public sector organizations.

They created the Explorer and Challenger programs to meet different sets of needs of Early Adopters. EarlyBirds says, “The Explorer program is designed for businesses that require Innovation as a Service to supplement existing innovation programs or to conduct innovation projects as required. The Challenger program is designed to solve one Early Adopter business 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, following which an agreed roadmap is published for the way forward. Now, with the EarlyBirds platform, organizations can find and engage with Innovators that already have potential solutions to their business challenges."
