Innovative projects are a team effort, but bringing external experts can want to walk a tightrope: how do you take advantage of their skills without giving your best ideas? Nightmare’s scenario is associating with an consulting or agency to help launch an exciting innovation, just to see a suspiciously similar concept in his work for another client. It is a common fear and growing. A study by the European Commission He discovered that 20% of the companies faced an attempt to theft of confidential information, and almost 40% believe that the risk is increasing. Our own survey of 230 construction companies showed that 79% feared that their patented knowledge could be acquired and reused by a partner without their consent. This concern is not exclusive to construction: our monitoring survey in five different industries, including advertising, consulting, engineering, event management and films, found that almost 75% of respondents were very concerned about the risk of leaks.
