The exponential growth in
data across all industries
requires new technologies for:

Cloud computing provides
“convenient on-demand 
network access to a shared  
pool of configurable computing
resources that can be quickly
provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider
interaction.”1 The various subsets of
could computing as SaaS, PaaS, Iaas
or more generic XaaS provide cost
effective and high available computing
resources with near to unlimited
scalability.

MOBILE COMPUTING
The increasing penetration of connected mobile phones and tablet computers
allows new context based services as e.g. location based services, augmented
reality and rapid data collection e.g. for traffic analysis. Always on mobile devices
allow quick communication and collaboration. By 2013, more than 15 billion
devices will be connected to the Internet using a mobile device.

„The fact is coming up with an idea is what is
the least important part of creating
something great. The execution and the
delivery are what’s key.”
Sergey Brin

"People think focus means saying yes
to the thing you've got to focus on. But
that's not what it means at all. It
means saying no to the hundred other
good ideas that there are. You have to
pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of
the things we haven't done as the
things I have done. Innovation is
saying no to 1,000 things.”

„If you have not made mistakes frequently,
then you haven’t challenged yourself enough”
Ferdinand Porsche

“The real measure of success is the number
of experiments that can be crowded into
twenty-four hours.”„
!

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety
nine percent perspiration”
Thomas Alva Edison

“I do not think there is any thrill that can go
through the human heart like that felt by the
inventor as he sees some creation of the brain
unfolding to success . . . Such emotions make
a man forget food, sleep, friends, love,
everything.”
Nicola Tesla


“I do not think you can name many great
inventions that have been made by married
men.”


COMPETING
ON
INNOVATION

...A Truly Innovative Company


CASE STUDY DISCUSSION - APPLE DST


Why has Apple been so successful? What do you
attribute it to?  
Is there as systematic “approach” to innovation at Apple?
If yes, how would you characterize it? Can it be imitated?
If no, why not?  
Imagine that Apple’s management is running your
organization—or the last organization that you have
worked for. What would that be like? What would
change? What obstacles would be encountered? What
would it be like to work there?

Key differentiators of Apple
Strategy
• Business

build around a great user experience
• Ecosystem of technologies, products, and services
• Limited openness (e.g., App stores); 
controlled experimentation
• Focus on consumers, not businesses
• Platform strategy


Innovation
• Beautiful

design
• Innovative products and services
• Bold business experimentation
• Customer involvement Simplicity

Leadership
• Push

people to create
• insanely great products
• Demand excellence, management
presents products
• Emphasize simplicity everywhere
(remove features)
• Boldness, go against conventional
wisdom
• Visionary

Execution
• Reuse

between products and software
• Flawless product launches
• High quality of hardware and software
• Ability to manage complex supply chain
• Perfect product launch

The most innovative companies 2012


* The Innovation Premium is a measure of
how much investors have bid up the stock
price of a company above the value of its
existing business based on expectations of
future innovative results (new products,
services and markets) . Members of the list
must have $10 billion in market
capitalization, spend at least 1% of their
asset base on R&D and have seven years
of public data

OPTIONAL CASE STUDY DISCUSSION - GOOGLE


PROVIDE A SHORT SUMMARIZATION OF THE
CASE STUDY “INNOVATION AT GOOGLE”.
!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE CRITICAL ELEMENTS
OF INNOVATION AT GOOGLE?
!

WHY DOES GOOGLE IS CONSIDERED AS ONE
OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES IN THE
WORLD?
!

HOW DOES Your company MATCH UP TO THIS
CASE STUDY.

Myth 1: Free time innovation - Googles 20%


“Could it be worth it? Will the investment pay off in the long run?!
Unfortunately, it probably won't. To see why, you have to recognize that
innovation is a two-part adventure. First, you have to come up with a
great idea. Second, you have to execute it. My co-author Vijay
Govindarajan and I refer to that second step as the other side of
innovation because it is often underappreciated or even completely
overlooked.!
The problem with the 20 percent policy is that it's likely to generate a
great deal of activity on the idea side of innovation and very little on the
execution side — the other side. Think about it. Just how much can one
person accomplish with 20 percent of their time? They might be able to
complete some very small projects, but if we're talking about anything
signiﬁcant — a new product, a new service, or a brand new businesses
— then 20 percent of one person's time is just not much to work with.!
Even if a few people come together organically to tackle the same
challenge with a "group 20 percent," resources are still slim. Perhaps it's
enough to articulate a great idea. Perhaps it's possible to even complete
some research that supports the idea's viability. But what of the rest of
the journey? The other side of innovation is out of reach.!
The hidden risk in the 20 percent policy is that you end up generating a
mountain of great ideas on paper that never become anything more
than a mountain of great ideas on paper.”

http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2010/08/free_time_innovation.html

Myth 2: Perpetual Beta


Perpetual beta is the keeping of software or a
system at the beta development stage for an
extended or indeﬁnite period of time. It is often
used by developers when they continue to
release new features that might not be fully
tested. !
!

Perpetual beta software is not recommended
for mission critical machines. However, many
operational systems ﬁnd this to be a much more
rapid and agile approach to development,
staging, and deployment.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_beta

Myth 3: Brain Teasers find the best candidates


How many Golfballs fit in one school bus?
If you had to clean all windows in Shanghai, how much
would you charge?
Design a disaster plan for Shanghai
How many piano tuners are there in the world?
"We found that brainteasers are a complete waste of time," Laszlo Bock,
senior vice president of people operations at Google, told the New York
Times. "They don't predict anything. They serve primarily to make the
interviewer feel smart."
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/06/google-finally-admits-that-its-infamous-brainteasers-were-completely-useless-for-hiring/277053/
