About

Welcome to Breaking Barriers: Open Innovation Insights!

Breaking Barriers: Open Innovation Insights was established in 2012 as an initiative to promote unconventional thinking to solve complex problems and to coach and mentor product managers, innovators, agile practitioners, students, and entrepreneurs in the Boston area. Over the years, it has evolved into a platform called “OpenOvation,” which simplifies complex topics for easy adoption and understanding. OpenOvation champions creativity and innovation in diverse areas such as Product Management, Leadership, Agile Practices, AI Strategy & Adoption, Data Products, and Digital Health and Wellness. 

At OpenOvation, we believe that combining traditional knowledge with contemporary thinking fosters personal and professional growth. It encourages members to envision possibilities and find value in setbacks. We are committed to personal and professional upliftment, lifelong learning, mentoring, coaching, and motivational content to inspire creative pursuits.

At OpenOvation, we are inspired not only by the creativity and innovation to help others but also by our four-legged companions. We champion animal welfare and support animal rescues, incorporating innovation into animal healthcare, rescues, and non-profits. Every article on our platform is thoughtfully crafted with a four-legged furry friend by our side, infusing each word with companionship, mindfulness, and care.
