GE Aviation uses a hybrid open innovation model to source new ideas from internal and external partners. This includes (1) maintaining an internal ideation network and global research centers to collaborate with universities and businesses, (2) leveraging existing partnerships and government programs, and (3) using an open innovation portal to source ideas from a broader community. The goal is to recruit and share ideas globally to drive innovation in a cost-effective manner. GE Aviation manages the process and ideas through a web-based portfolio management system for prioritization, connectivity to strategy, and analysis.
