Many technology-based companies have enjoyed success in their
mature mainstream markets for 5 or 10 or even 20+ years – these
include Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Nokia, as well as HP and Intel.
To remain competitive, however, these companies must accomplish
two challenging objectives simultaneously:
 maintain + protect their mature mainstream businesses
 while achieving “Escape Velocity” with breakthrough market initiatives
fueled by new customer expectations / new business models / new innovations
---------------
The “Escape Velocity” session provides OD leaders + experts with:
 a briefing on the specific strategies and tactics needed to achieve a sustainable +
profitable entry with new market innovations, while remaining competitive in their
mature business. As the March 3rd session will describe, this requires dramatically
different executive coaching / skills / mindset / metrics / actions.
Escape Velocity examples:
Successes – IBM (from hardware to software + services); Apple (from desktops to mobile ecosystem)
Failures – Nokia (from basic mobile phones to smart phones); Kodak (from analog to digital)
Currently in Process – Oracle (from on-premise to cloud); Adobe (from installed s/w to online s/w)
“Escape Velocity” Is Only Important If You
Want to Remain Competitive in the Future

September 2013: Outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer was
brutally honest at Microsoft’s financial analysts meeting
Thursday, admitting that the software giant has allowed
the booming mobile market to pass it by.
“Mobile devices, we have almost no share,” Ballmer said
during the speech. “I don’t know whether to say that with
enthusiasm or kind of uncomfortable tension, but I’m an
optimistic guy.”
Despite his buoyant attitude, Ballmer did say during a Q&A session that he regretted decisions
made early in his reign as CEO.
“If there’s one thing I guess you would say I regret, I regret that there was a period in the early
2000s when we were so focused on what to do around Windows (our mature product line), that
we weren’t able to redeploy talent / resources to the new category called smart phones,” he said.
“That would probably be the thing I would tell you I regret the most, because the time we missed
was during the period we were working on what became Vista, and I wish we’d had our resources
differently deployed, let me say, during the early 2000s. It would have been better for Windows
and better for our success in other (newer) mobile categories, like smart phones and tablets.”

Rules of Thumb for Publicly Held Enterprises
• 5% - 10% of Total Revenue = Revenue Materiality
• This is the exit threshold from H2 to H1
• 0.5% - 1% of Total Revenue = On the Expense Radar
• This is the entry threshold from H3 to H2
• Horizon 2 Journey
• Grow one order of magnitude in 12 quarters
• Be more than half way after 8 quarters
• Else fold back into the base business and move on

The Race to Material Revenues
Rules of Thumb for Publicly Held Enterprises
• 5% - 10% of Total Revenue = Revenue Materiality
• This is the exit threshold from H2 to H1
• 0.5% - 1% of Total Revenue = On the Expense Radar
• This is the entry threshold from H3 to H2
• Horizon 2 Journey
• Grow one order of magnitude in 12 quarters
• Be more than half way after 8 quarters
• Else fold back into the base business and move on
Horizon 2 is not a stable state
Must race to get through, or die

September 2013: Outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer was brutally honest at Microsoft’s financial analysts meeting Thursday, admitting that the software giant has allowed the booming mobile market to pass it by. “Mobile devices, we have almost no share,” Ballmer said during the speech. “I don’t know whether to say that with enthusiasm or kind of uncomfortable tension, but I’m an optimistic guy.” Despite his buoyant attitude, Ballmer did say during a Q&A session that he regretted decisions made early in his reign as CEO. “If there’s one thing I guess you would say I regret, I regret that there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what to do around Windows (our mature product line), that we weren’t able to redeploy talent / resources to the new category called smart phones,” he said. “That would probably be the thing I would tell you I regret the most, because the time we missed was during the period we were working on what became Vista, and I wish we’d had our resources differently deployed, let me say, during the early 2000s. It would have been better for Windows and better for our success in other (newer) mobile categories, like smart phones and tablets.” Is Achieving “Escape Velocity” Important ?

September 2013: Outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer was brutally honest at Microsoft’s financial analysts meeting Thursday, admitting that the software giant has allowed the booming mobile market to pass it by. “Mobile devices, we have almost no share,” Ballmer said during the speech. “I don’t know whether to say that with enthusiasm or kind of uncomfortable tension, but I’m an optimistic guy.” Despite his buoyant attitude, Ballmer did say during a Q&A session that he regretted decisions made early in his reign as CEO. “If there’s one thing I guess you would say I regret, I regret that there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what to do around Windows (our mature product line), that we weren’t able to redeploy talent / resources to the new category called smart phones,” he said. “That would probably be the thing I would tell you I regret the most, because the time we missed was during the period we were working on what became Vista, and I wish we’d had our resources differently deployed, let me say, during the early 2000s. It would have been better for Windows and better for our success in other (newer) mobile categories, like smart phones and tablets.” Is Achieving “Escape Velocity” Important ?
