Frequently asked questions
Q: How should a presenter explain the open innovation message with this funnel?
A: Start with the full funnel slide to define the model: idea sources on the left, filtering in the center, and market outcomes on the right. Then use the focused R&D slides to isolate one pathway at a time. This prevents the audience from treating every idea path as equal and keeps the discussion on decision criteria.
Q: Who is this template best suited for?
A: This template is best for innovation leaders, R&D teams, product strategists, and consultants who need to explain how ideas move from discovery to commercialization. It works well when the discussion is conceptual rather than data-heavy, especially for workshops, strategy briefings, and executive updates about portfolio direction.
Q: Why does the funnel metaphor help communicate innovation strategy?
A: The funnel metaphor makes selection visible: many ideas enter, fewer pass through, and distinct market paths emerge. The colored spheres and curved routes help separate idea sources and outcomes without adding complex tables. This visual structure supports discussion about screening, redirection, licensing, or targeting new markets.
