There are many outside our existing organizations, standing impatiently at the gates, waiting to come in and take over with market breaking concepts through different business models.

What makes more sense: To be the first player in a brand new market, able to be the first (or only) company which customers buy from? To wait until other companies have proven there is a market for a new offering, and then quickly develop and scale your own? This can require significant marketing and sales effort to change.

Is it access to knowledge, markets, opinions or is it spreading risk and resource sharing or enabling the flows in knowledge, ideas, capital- what else really distinguishes it and makes it a must to have. The ability to access cutting-edge research, market insights, and technical know-how from a wide network is a key driver of innovation.

What often happens in an innovation setting where new ideas are presented is that everyone not fully behind or read into a new idea becomes the red team, trying to discover reasons - valid and self-serving - that the idea won't succeed. Yet doing a good job evaluating ideas and the markets and conditions they will be launched into is vital.
