I'd definitely put Innocentive in the "prototyping" category since most of the requests are specific problems requesting a well thought-out solution. I'm less familiar with NineSigma, but from what I can see, they are much more of an innovation outsourcing firm than an open innovation platform. In short, because they're just a middle-man, they wouldn't really fit on here... although the client request nature of their business is basically like an agency pitch process. On the innocentive model... many of the open, "non corporate owned" platforms are really two discreet experiences packaged as one. In these instances, one vertical is about free-flowing adoption with the intention of either having your idea bought or turned into a new company, and the other vertical is about organizations offering prizes for a specific response to a problem. he MIT Global Challenge project I worked on recently falls into this category.

We've just written something in a similar (albeit much simpler!) vein here: http://blog.bitzesty.com/politics-of-crowdsourcing Ours is more about the creative applications of crowdsourcing, but I definitely agree that crowdsourcing in a business setting shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

Just for practice, based on your classiflying model, where you will locate Open Inovation platforms such as Innocentive or Ninesigma? Very interesting article!

I was actually checking out the Adobe implementation on the brightidea platform yesterday and was really impressed with the features. All that being said (my post included), if an org isn't structurally and politically ready to involve outside participants in the innovation process, the best software int he world won't make a lick of difference.
