WORKSTREAMS
Innovation in legacy consumer
services
A misconception is that innovation is
only associated with new services.
There is still much innovation possible
within the services customers consume
today. This stream will dive into ways to
improve margin and maintain
revenues across all legacy services.

Processes for successful new service
commercialization
Service innovation isn’t easy within a
telco, but we must never give-up else
resign the business to just being an ISP.
This work steam will be a frank review
of the barriers and how people are
finding ways to force action, and even
when service innovations get
launched how to protect them from
the anti-bodies in the rest of the
organization.

Reviewing how TADHack can create a
service innovation pipeline
TADHack proved to engage
developers beyond anyone's
expectations with 700 registrations and
500 attendees. But how can we
harness this service innovation pipeline
into telcos? The innovators are there
and willing to hack on telecom APIs,
the technology is mature, but there is a
gap. How do we close it with specific
steps that deliver business results.

Innovation in legacy consumer
services
Table 1. Voice Innovation
 Marketing, pricing and bundling of
the most basic service – phone
calls. How can we convince
customers that “talk is good”?
 Innovation in plans, such as hybrid
pre/post-pay options, migrating
users up to rolling one-month
contracts etc.
 How can new voice services be
deployed without resorting to
complex VoIP apps? Can we
exploit the traditional phone call
for messages, social chat, opinion
polling, advertising or other
mechanisms? Can the “missed
call” be monetised?
Table 2. Text and Data Innovation
 How can SIM Toolkit applications
be exploited to deliver interactive
or commerce services to all?
 What new use-cases are
emerging for text-based VAS?
 Managing the risk of
cannibalisation by so-called OTT
apps, when featurephone users
start accessing the web and apps
 How can we rekindle the
adoption and use of fixed-line
services for homes and small
businesses?
 Whether to “sell your soul” to
Facebook’s Internet.org, WeChat
or Twitter for basic zero-rated data
services, or low-end per-day data
plans
Work Stream 5:
Processes for successful new service
commercialization
Table 1. Telco View
 Should Service Innovation be
structured separate from the rest
of the organization?
 When does corporate protection
of new services get removed so
cannibalization can be
addressed?
 How do we break from the
traditional ‘plan and build
everything and launch ready to
scale to millions with little feature
flexibility’?
 Innovation means ‘failure is part of
the process’, what are the criteria
to define failure rather than
continuing to searching for the
right recipe?
 Service innovation with partners is
critical, it’s a core assumption of
the TAD Manifesto. But how
should it be managed?
Table 2: Partner / Developer View
 What are telecom application
developer requirements for
effective partnering?
 What are the best processes for
working with Ecosystem partners?
 What are the typical budgets,
people, team mix, approach to
market that leads to service
innovation success?
 Innovation means ‘failure is part of
the process’, when do we drop a
service versus adapt the plan?
Work Stream 6:
Reviewing how TADHack can create a
service innovation pipeline
Table 1. TAD innovation showcase
Discuss and agree recommendations
on how a TAD Innovation Showcase
can enable anyone to demo services
created by the TADHack community to
promote not only the service but all the
commercial and go to market issues
that filter great ideas to market
successes.
Table 2. A TAD Best Practices
Given the different markets, different
channels, different people all result in a
large range of numbers on revenue
share and commercial terms, what
commercial aspects can be
recommended to accelerate success?
Table 3. TAD-Accelerator program
Discuss and agree recommendations
on a TAD Accelerator program where
developers can be introduced to
mentors, investors and possibly even
development partners to assist them in
creating commercial outcomes from
their services. Getting funding for
anything telecom related is close to
impossible thanks to the closed nature
of telcos and their large vendors which
have scared investors away.
