· Evaluate its potential impact on users and the organization.
· Discuss how open innovation strategies (e.g., partnerships, external networks, or knowledge flows) could enhance the concept’s feasibility or implementation.
·

· Innovative Capabilities. Identify the innovative capabilities required to implement the concept and explain how the organization could develop or source them.
·
**Metrics for Success**. Propose at least three measurable outcomes to evaluate the success of the innovation.
·
**Support Your Proposal**. Use insights from the course readings and at least two external business sources.
**Resources**
