Abstract

This paper reports on the development and preliminary evaluation of a novel online platform that facilitates and augments diverse open innovation practices in contemporary organizations. The proposed platform offers a friendly and sustainable solution that fully supports the processes of collection, dissemination, organization, synthesis and utilization of knowledge that comes from both the internal and external environment of an organization. It is based on prominent artificial intelligence and natural language processing technologies to meaningfully cluster and aggregate stakeholders’ positions on the issues under consideration, the ultimate aim being to advance informed decision-making in the underlying data intensive and cognitively complex settings. Moreover, the platform may enable argumentation across the overall innovation development process, from idea formation to its market entry and commercialization.
