Introduction
Individuals and organizations would be hard pressed to possess all the skills and knowledge necessary to
innovate regularly and effectively. Through collaboration it is possible to significantly improve the innovative
performance of an organization.
This document describes the reasons to collaborate in different circumstances and the different ways in which
organizations can collaborate, and it provides guidance for managing collaboration between individuals, teams
and different organizations.
Issues addressed include when, how and with whom to collaborate, different types of collaboration and the
difficulties and benefits of doing so. Case studies are included in Annex A to provide insight through the
experience of others.

governmental and social enterprise but with a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
This document is one of six parts that support CEN/TS 16555-1 of the series, CEN/TS 16555.

4 Collaboration
4.1 General
As described in CEN/TS 16555-1, collaboration is often an integral part of an innovation process and, in
CEN/TS 16555-1:2013, 7.9 and 11.5 briefly describe collaboration management and how it is possible,
through managed collaboration, to significantly improve the innovative performance of an organization. This
document provides more detail.
4.2 Collaboration and its benefits
Collaboration can allow for the acquisition of new skills and resources. In addition it can bring different groups
together, improve the opportunities for successful creativity and innovation, solve problems and help exploit
external potential.
1) Henry Chesbrough, who is generally credited with inventing the paradigm, defines it as 'use of purposive inflows and
outflows of knowledge to accelerate innovation'.
Collaboration can be internal as well as with external entities. Involving staff members and their
representatives is important in order to ensure buy-in and to dispel apprehension. In several countries such
broad involvements are mandatory and rooted in social partner agreements and national legislation. Teams
from different parts of an organization (or from outside), perhaps from different countries or regions, or from
diverse business functions, may collaborate to achieve a common goal – a new global product or service or a
bid to a major customer.
Collaboration is an activity that pools skills and resources that the organization does not have itself and it does
so at less cost and/or by sharing risk, to contribute to a shared goal. This may be a matter of needing more
resource or specialist expertise in one or more areas. Collaboration may also bring increased credibility to one
or more of the people involved in the collaboration. Innovation can arise from interactions among people with
different skill sets and experiences, who either solve problems or generate ideas that create value.
Collaboration is therefore of vital importance for increasing the potential for innovation.
Collaboration with universities and research institutes is recommended as one policy as this can bring a
variety of benefits. First, market innovations originating in a research facility can be exploited and brought to
market; second, a wide range of disciplines can be accessed to generate ideas for new products and services
and finally, research may be able to provide specific expertise to resolve otherwise intractable problems.
Collaboration with other organizations, sometimes competitors, may take place to reduce costs, especially in
areas of non-competition or in areas that the organization considers non-core, or to bring complementary
expertise to the project.
4.3 Types of collaboration
The knowledge and technology necessary for innovation may lie partly or wholly outside an organization’s
traditional core competencies. A common policy for addressing this problem is to
