Het jaar is bijna voorbij en voor de meesten van ons geldt dat we de vakantiedagen doorbrengen met het doorspitten van het web op zoek naar leuke artikelen om te lezen terwijl buiten de regen op de ramen tikt. Om deze zoektoch iets comfortabeler te maken, hebben wij alvast een aantal artikelen verzameld die in 2011 zijn verschenen en interessante perspectieven bieden op Open Innovatie.
