Understanding the Real Value of Technology!
Technology does not produce any return. It only generates a performance change: in processes,
materials, functionality, utility of a product/service. This contribute is the productivity of the technology.
It is not the technology that creates value but the impact of performance changes on one or more
substantial elements of the business model.

The product is made of several
components. Some of them contribute to
overall profit in a disproportionate way.
Specialists are more profitable for a number
of reasons: higher quality, better image,
lower cost, and so on.
Small business units maximize customer
proximity and facilitate accountability for
results.

Despite the great effort and success of many companies to transform innovation in a “process
discipline”, there is still a lot of people who patronize the “lone inventor” theory of innovation.
Facts are witnessing that a winning factor for succeding with innovation is to adopt the same logic of
Venture Capitalist: work selectively with big numbers to find great ideas and businesses.
Several thousands
!100
Investments: !10
Another key element is that success is not achieved through increased innovation
budgets. In fact this can just increase the risk to to finance marginal opportunities.
Success is the result of building a portfolio of extraordinary opportunies selected
on the base of their profit potential.

Two Value Threads of Innovation!
The innovation process is a virtuous combination of two asynchronous answers to “What is
needed?” and “What we have?”
Radical
Innovation
Margin
Cost
Value
Sustaining
Innovation
Technology-Driven
Interest
Products
Customer-
Defined
Solutions
Technology Thread
The vertical thread (Development
Factory) works as a non-stop flow and
controls the functions of product platform
planning and of modularization/
standardization of components (used
either on a stand-alone basis either as
parts of more complex systems).
Strategic Aim: Radical Innovation
Customer Thread
The horizontal thread (Customer Lab)
works as an intermittent flow and controls
the functions of customer need
management and of product/system
requirement development
Strategic Aim: Sustaining Innovation
Here we exploit the value
of customer knowledge to find
more advanced solutions...
V = B –
– C = M
Benefit
Value
Price
Because today’s customer
preferences have no inherent
predictive value for tomorrow’s
markets, it is simply not savvy
enough to rely to build future
strategies on current customer
preferences

Here we explore
and apply new or

Customer Labs – Intense Predictive Analytics on Future Needs !
‘Industries don’t “evolve”. Instead, firms eager to overturn the present industry order challenge “accepted practices”,
redraw segment boundaries, set new price-performance expectations, and reinvent the product or service concept.’

•! Focus: Accelerating knowledge and technology
awareness of advanced technology offering
regarding ABCD platform.

- One page of a slide or a poster to provide visual support, if needed
- Zero questions or discussion during the presentations
After the presentations, the ABCD participants will be asked to vote the most valuable presentations.
•! Follow-up: After the internal selection, questions and additional information requests will be sent to the
presenters. The entire process will be managed by a small project team during the
Homework phase.
