Turbulence Ahead!

& dramatic wealth creation

as opportunities in uncertainty abound

but fear of failure cripples thinking

So how do we formulate
business strategy in turbulent times ?
The Building Blocks of Strategy
Creating Value in Uncertainty –
Disruptive Innovation
Performance
Time
Established technology
Mainstream customer needs
Niche customer needs
Invasive Technology

â€ș Cement that sequesters CO2, instead of emitting it!

Biocrude
Crude oil
Refinery
Kior: “biocrude” replaces crude
Millions of
Years
How not to:
Financial tools:
DCF, NPV, IRR Stage gate
development
Top down market
analysis
Decisions based on
customer wish list
19
How to:
Tackle hard problems
Imagine what could be
Let technology lead market
Fail often, fail early, keep trying
Find the best people, who disagree with you
20
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not
dare that they are difficult.”
- Seneca
“Try and fail, but don't fail to try.”
- Stephen Kaggwa
“Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless
you're scared.”
- Eddie Rickenbacker
“Only those who dare fail greatly can achieve greatly.”
- Robert F. Kennedy
“You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.”
- Maya Angelou
The willingness to fail gives us the
freedom to succeed
21
When did it fail?
Evaluating “Failures”
HOW DO I DO IT BETTER NEXT
TIME??
Iteration is key
Why did it fail?
Causal vs. experiential reasoning
Assumptions change vs. Environments change
22
“Tried that before and it doesn’t work”
Accumulated experience restrains/constrains thinking
Assumptions change all the time
Reexamine everything
23
Innovation culture
reward failure
plan without
planning (evolve
thru iteration)
ignore IRR calculations
don't listen to customers too closely

”relevant cost”

”relevant scale”

”relevant adoption”
But diffusion of innovation requires

the adoption risk
financial, consumer acceptance, market entry
adoption risk - $2,500 nano
Internal combustion engine
or
Hydrogen / electric?

the scaling model
brute force or exponential, distributed

But how do we evaluate solutions
?
key criteria
â€ș Trajectory: “What is” or “What Can Be”
â€ș Scalability Trajectory
â€ș Cost Trajectory
â€ș Adoption Risk
â€ș Capital Formation
â€ș Optionality

cost and tech trajectory
cost: driving down the cost curve

Trajectory Matters!Solar PV

declining technology cost

Crystalline Silicon
Amorphous Silicon
Thin-Film
Thin-Film Multi-Junction
Generations of Solar Photovoltaics

but tech cost decline isn’t enough

2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040
Cost(Normalized)
Construction Cost
Inputs (Feedstock/Land)
Technology Cost
Total Cost
Total cost decline is based on relative
proportion of cost “types”

Legacy technologies can have large
scale advantage
Infeasible

capital formation
â€ș Short Innovation Cycles (3-5 years)
â€ș Short investor return cycles
â€ș Mitigate technical & market risk cheaply
â€ș Unsubsidized market competition
Private money will flow to
ventures that return investment in
3-5 year cycles!
capital formation
But be vary of irrational ideas
.
irrational ideas: eat kangaroos, not cows!
Source – http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSSYD8867720080808
“SYDNEY (Reuters) - Farming kangaroos
instead of sheep and cattle in Australia could
cut by almost a quarter the greenhouse
gases produced by grazing livestock, which
account for 11 percent of the nation's
annual emissions, said a new study.”
irrational ideas: toilet paper
I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares
[sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one
sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding
American of his or her God-given rights, but I think
we are an industrious enough people that we can
make it work with only one square per restroom
visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions
where 2 to 3 could be required.
- Sheryl Crow
‱ Source - http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/04/singer_turned_a.html
irrational ideas: “green bikinis”
‱ Source - http://www.alternativeconsumer.com/2008/07/29/eco-bikini-from-niksters/

irrational ideas: zero-emission buses?
3-year Oakland pilot : zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell buses
diesel @ $1.61/mile vs. hydrogen @ $51.66/mile!
Source: ABC News - http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local&id=5984013
solutions must make
economic sense!
