3 THE MIT INNOVATION LAB IS AN MIT-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION DEVOTED TO IMPROVING THE ABILITY OF FIRMS AND INSTITUTIONS TO GENERATE "BREAKTHROUGH" INNOVATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES. THE LAB IS CHAIRED BY PROFESSOR ERIC VON HIPPEL. THE MIT INNOVATION LAB HOLDS 3 TWO-DAY MEETINGS PER YEAR. LAB MEETINGS SHIFT BETWEEN MIT AND MEMBER SITES. AT MEETINGS HELD AT MIT, THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION IS ON RECENT ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENTS IN CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES. AT MEETINGS HELD AT MEMBER SITES, THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON METHODS EMPLOYED BY THOSE MEMBERS, AND DISCUSSIONS OF RECENT EXPERIMENTS THAT HAVE CARRIED OUT USING NEW CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES. THE VALUE TO NASA OF PARTICIPATION IN THIS LAB IS EXCHANGE OF DETAILED INFORMATION ON INNOVATION PROCESSES WITH OTHER LEADING EXPERTS IN LARGE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE FACING COMMON NEEDS TO BE MORE AGILE, AND TO MORE EFFICIENTLY DRAW UPON OUTSIDE RESOURCES FOR IDEAS REGARDING NOVEL ORGANIZATIONAL APPROACHES TO INNOVATION THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED IN AT LEAST A SINGLE ORGANIZATION - AND THAT ARE EVALUATED AND DISCUSSED IN DETAIL BY MIT INNOVATION LAB MEMBERS AND HARVARD AND MIT ACADEMICS WITH EXPERTISE WHO HAVE DONE SCHOLARLY WORK ON THE TOPIC. LAB MEMBER COMPANIES WORK ON THEIR OWN INNOVATION AGENDA AS THEY CHOOSE. WE THEN EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND LEARNINGS WITH EACH OTHER AT OUR MEETINGS. THERE IS NO OBLIGATION FOR LAB MEMBERS TO SHARE THE TECHNIQUES THEY HAVE DEVELOPED OR USED WITH OTHER MEMBERS, BUT SO FAR ALL HAVE CHOSEN TO DO SO. LAB MEMBERSHIP IS RESTRICTED TO 6 CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS PLUS RELEVANT MIT AND HARVARD UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS SO THAT WE CAN KNOW EACH OTHER WELL, AND HAVE EFFICIENT SMALL-GROUP WORKSHOPS. CURRENT MEMBERS ARE GOOGLE, FORD, GENERAL MILLS, PITNEY-BOWES, AND GOODYEAR. AS A LAB MEMBER, NASA WILL BE GRANTED A SEAT AT THESE SMALL-GROUP MEETINGS.
