In Innovation Alchemy: How to Build Strong Industry Engagement Partnerships for Impact and Economic Growth, Managing Director of Global Strategic Alliances for the MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Lori Glover delivers an eye-opening discussion of how to develop mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations in and between industry, academia, and beyond. You'll explore how to navigate, structure, and deliver win-win programs. You'll also discover how to take full advantage of research capabilities, faculty, student, and course connections, new tech, professional development, capstones, technology transfer, and start-ups. The book avoids a one-size-fits-all approach, clarifying the foundations of solid partnerships and collaborations and explaining the author's 10 steps to successful partnerships. From understanding and defining the fundamentals of your strategy to knowing your stakeholders, mapping their connection points, and understanding possible paths of engagement, plan creation, and team building, you'll examine the building blocks of fruitful collaborations. Innovation Alchemy provides checklists and tools you can use immediately to help you construct your own partnership plan, as well as a comprehensive roadmap for building a new partnership from the ground up. It's packed with case studies, leader interviews, and additional resources that are implementation-ready and useful for both new and existing partnerships. Perfect for managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders interested in unlocking the tremendous benefits that flow from collaborations with academia, Innovation Alchemy is also a must-read for academic administrators and education professionals who want to explore those same benefits.
