IRI RTM Lunch and Learn with Ademir Vrolijk
"What kind of solver should you attract for your innovation contest? "

Ademir Vrolijk introduces the opportunist-transactor dichotomy, which bridges the gap of whom to attract in innovation contests and how to attract them.  Watch this presentation on a concrete way to influence who shows up to solve innovation contests. There are different kinds of solvers, and some are expected to do better than others. Opportunists view the innovation contest as a onramp to a new pursuit instead of a temporary undertaking. Understanding solvers according to this new dichotomy may be a better predictor of success, according to the authors’ study. Ademir offers a deeper understanding of participants that participate in complex contests, and provides a concrete way to influence who shows up to solve. About Ademir.
