Abstract
Open networked collaboration provides renewable energy
solutions providers a way to search for new business
opportunities. By identifying common synergies with
partners representing different technologies and
knowledge, more cost effective and reliable energy
solutions can be provided to the customers.
Service-centric offerings need to be based on real
customer needs. Therefore, also customer's active role in
innovation process is crucial. Methods supporting this
process must provide structure and be based on long term
collaboration approach. The research presented in this
paper is based on two real-life areal energy solution
development cases. The possible sources of synergies
within the provider network were identified using a
workshop method based on the combination of Osterwalder's
Business Model Canvas and life-cycle approach. The
results of these workshops were analysed using thematic
approach.
