Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents a longitudinal study of an open, co-created, innovation—ICA Student. It illustrates some of the challenges inherent in the consideration, adaptation and adoption of user knowledge and competence throughout an open innovation process, demonstrating the involvement of users both during the phases of content generation and commercialisation. Findings from the study illustrate five important issues for managers and practitioners to address when co-creating an innovation with future users: (1) the framing of an open innovation; (2) the identification of suitable participants; (3) the absorption and use of diverse inputs; (4) innovation entails both content generation and commercialisation and (5) the realisation that consideration, adaptation and adoption of knowledge and competence will affect the solution space. We conclude the chapter with a discussion on the relative openness of open innovation.
