Gower said: “Open innovation is about working in collaboration with donors, volunteers,
staff and other organisations to develop products, services and campaigns. At a 
time when charities are under increasing pressure to deliver more for less, it is
a good solution as it shares risks, facilitates insight, builds relationships, and
quickly generates and develops new ideas.”

Other recent appointments to the 100%Open team include the appointment of Jogesh
Limbani, formerly Head of Open Innovation at Orange, who will be developing mobile
innovation within the agency. Its charity clients include Cancer Research UK and
Oxfam.
