11. “ Innovation That Matters” by IBM IBM Global Technology Unit (GTU) A Smarter Planet: The Next Leadership Agenda Innovation through Partnerships
12. A Smarter Planet: The Next Leadership Agenda The world is smaller. “ Every human being, company, organization, city, nation, natural system and man-made system is becoming interconnected, instrumented and intelligent. This is leading to new savings and efficiency—but perhaps as important, new possibilities for progress.” Because it can. Because it must. Because we want it to. The world is getting smarter. The world is flatter. IBM Helps Build a Smarter Planet.

There are major shifts playing out in our industry and in business: A new computer model for business: Based on open standards, and built on a global infrastructure The rising tide of globalization Our world becoming flat Both of these trends are changing client needs around innovation and growth Result: value, opportunity and profit are shifting across industry after industry- and none more than IT
So our clients’ needs are changing. Last year we did a worldwide survey of more than 750 CEOs and government leaders. The outcome: CEOS want to use technology to be more innovative In their products and services In their business processes Even in their business models. Now, why does all of this represent such an important opportunity for all of us? Because the CEOs also asked for help. 83% of CEOs recognize that their business model has to change – but only 20% say they have a good record of managing change. 76% see the value of collaboration to achieve innovation – but only 51% are actively collaborating now. 80% recognize the need to create a culture of innovation – but only half say they have implemented the business and technology integration necessary for innovation to thrive. The bottom line: Innovation matters . In a world where companies, organizations, and individuals are racing to differentiate themselves, innovative ideas are more valuable than ever. How will we meet this need?

We are all familiar with global integration and how the planet is becoming flatter And through interconnected communications and commerce, it’s becoming smaller But something else is also going on. Something that may ultimately have a more profound affect on our society, businesses and individual lives…the planet is also becoming smarter. Our planet is becoming more intelligent, more instrumented, and more interconnected day by day. And with these changes come amazing opportunities for society as a whole and for every business, institution and individual. With so much technology and networking abundantly available, what wouldn't you put smart technology into? What service wouldn’t you provide ? What wouldn't you connect? What information wouldn't you mine for insight? The answer is, you – or your competitor – will do all of that. You will do it because you can. But the even more compelling reason we will all begin to transform our systems, operations, enterprises and personal lives to take advantage of a smarter world isn’t just because we can. It’s because we must .
What we at IBM are building to work with our Partners is a full ecosystem of capabilities, all geared at making your companies profitable. We are here to help you build a solution, market that solution, collaborate with other partners, and most importantly, sell your solution. I’m going to start with the “build” capabilities we have that you can leverage. And when we talk about “build”, we’re talking primarily about building in 2 areas: building the skills of your development teams, and building your application solutions on IBM technology.
