“Creating Connected Communities”

CfBI Home.

The Centre for Business Innovation Limited (CfBI) in Cambridge, UK, creates and facilitates communities whose participants share the benefits and costs of working together towards common goals or under a brand which reflects their values and beliefs in the spirit of Open Innovation.

CfBI’s team calls this type benefit ‘Collaborative Advantage’ and we have been working on and refining this formula for over fifteen years.

Today we have created three types of community:

· Collaborative Consortia: where companies, research institutes and government agencies from all over Europe and USA  shape and share 12 month learning, implementation and influencing programmes around fast moving areas of technology and business process. Key benefits include: benchmarking; promoting standards and good practices; influencing regulators; sharing costs while learning together  for competitive advantage .. and doing a few deals on the side!

· Connected Communities: where individuals in particular regions or sectors around the world become affiliated in order to network with other members of their own or peer group communities. Key benefits include: local networking; global contacts; growing clusters, exploring job and entrepreneurial opportunities while making friends and influencing people!

· Service Communities: where organizations share infrastructure/resource (eg for Technology Watch or Training) to get better value for money. Key benefits include: benchmarking; learning from and with others and driving down costs.
