This article describes a possible solution: the Seeking Solutions approach. The Seeking Solutions process consists of four steps: a call for problems, problem selection, problem broadcast, and a collaborative event. This approach has been successfully used for the Quebec Seeks Solutions events in 2010 and 2012 with concrete results and real impacts. By mixing open innovation and collaboration, the Seeking Solutions approach has introduced a new concept: local open innovation. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 3 %P 6-13 %8 03/2013 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/664 %N 3 %1 En Mode Solutions Christophe Deutsch is R&D Manager at Telops, an innovative company in the field of high-performance infrared sensors.
