The ACCELERATE project aimed to shorten innovation cycles and time-to-market for new ICT products. It developed acceleration methodologies and tools to help companies validate the match between technologies and markets. The project created an online platform to facilitate interactions between startups and investors. It accelerated over 1,000 ideas, leading to 89 new products/solutions and significant impacts for partner companies like shortened development times and new spin-offs. The results have been disseminated widely and are already providing benefits such as integrated into university curricula and powering revenue growth and new hiring for partners.
Whether it's for your company or your own professional development (or ideally both), everyone should have a technology roadmap. Unfortunately there is no easy path to pre-made wisdom here, but this talk opines on some ideas and approaches to help formulate a roadmap that is relevant, pragmatic and importantly, able to be communicated to others.

A New Framework for Disruptive Innovation Management - Dr. Jose a. BrionesJose Briones
Product innovation has been described as the way out of today’s difficult business environment. However, the rate of success of development projects, in particular white space or disruptive innovation projects remains too low.
We believe that a reason for the low success rate is the erroneous application of methods designed for incremental innovation like Stage Gate to projects with high levels of uncertainty. In this presentation we will discuss the different types of development projects based on degree of uncertainty, and the creation of different project tracks. Projects are managed using different tool sets based on the best fit between information available and decision making needs.

From project to product mindset and onwards to product platform architecturesJorn Bettin
Is it possible to stay innovative and economically manage many hundreds or even thousands of products or product variants?
Organisations interested in benefiting from a product line and product platform approach must adopt values and organisational principles that encourage the development of deep domain expertise. This includes a deep understanding of the forces that continuously change the environment of the product line. These forces can then be harnessed as part of the architectural foundation for the product line.
The pervasive digitisation of services and the desire to create and operate platforms that can support large digital service ecosystems that include many organisations, have put the spotlight on design principles for product lines, product platforms, and related organisational structures.

From Product Vision to Story Map - Lean / Agile Product shapingJérôme Kehrli
A lot of Software Engineering projects fail for a lack of shared vision due to poor communication among people involved in the project.
A sound maintenance of the product backlog can only be achieved if all the people have a good understanding of what they have to do (common vision).
Roman Pichler, in a post originally written in Jul 16 2012, has proposed a really interesting approach: use various canvas to create and share product vision and product backlog creation and refinement.
This presentation is a drive through these various boards and canvas that should be designed in prior to any product development: the Product Vision, the Lean Canvas, The Product Definition and the Story Map.
A process to deliver real value across all of product design and development. Though continuous research, measurement, and experimentations to increase confidence and put value at the centre of my work.

Most organizations today have at least one, if not several, ‘digital transformation’ initiatives underway. What was considered leading edge 5 years ago is fast becoming an exercise in survival with recent polls indicating that 70%+ of US based companies plan to introduce a new digital technology platform, digitize their products (i.e. physical, software, and hybrid) and/or digitize their innovation management processes. As expected, some organizations are succeeding while many are struggling. What are the successful organizations doing differently? Stage-Gate International has been helping organizations digitize their innovations and their innovation management processes for 12+ years through an open software certification program launched in 2007 called Stage-Gate® Ready (digital technologies certified by innovation experts).
This article demystifies digital transformation and explores what a successful journey looks like when you use the Stage-Gate Framework, its Innovation Maturity Model and its culture change-enabling principles to manage the three most common types of digital initiatives.
DIH Emilia-Romagna supports companies (and related supply chains) to assess and exploit their digital potential through digital maturity analyses and definition of action plans for management of innovation and digital transformation, including provision of technological partners, funding and training opportunities, technological macro-trends and connection with Enterprise Europe Network and other relevant European stakeholders (e.g. Digital Innovation Hubs, Competence Centers, Laboratories and Research Centers).
Industrial Case: Motion Solution Industry
SME company, founded in 1957, active in motion solutions industry
The company would exploit their digital potential (also including the entire value chain) in order to increase the value added provided to customers and to become more efficient and flexible. Thus, the company needs a managerial support from DIH-ER.
Through the Digital Maturity Assessment, DIH-ER created a digital transformation roadmap comprising 8 priorities (mainly connected to vertical and horizontal integration, evolution of offerings from products to ecosystems), provision of technological partners, funding opportunities, training opportunities, technological macro-trends and connection with Enterprise Europe Network and other relevant European stakeholders.
In addition, the company benefited of coaching and mentoring support provided through direct connection with outer managers (under temporary management approach).
Innovation is one of the key enablers for European enterprises to compete in global markets. The term ‘innovation’ is constantly used in speeches of managers, politicians, public administrators. However, in the large majority of cases, the term is used as a generic 'place holder', a sort of container whose actual content is left to the intuition. For this reason it is important to deeply elaborate, specifically on the notion of Enterprise Innovation, to better understand the essence and meaning of innovation.
Innovation stems from a virtuous mix of intuition, creativity, and a solid background knowledge. Each innovation endeavour has its own characteristics, largely different from previous experiences. It falls in the category of ‘wicked problems’, i.e., problems difficult to solve because of incomplete, fuzzy, changing requirements. Nevertheless, there are recurring patterns and it is possible to conceive systematic methods, and supporting information systems, to promote and manage innovation avoiding the risk to close it in a ‘cage’, risking depressing the fundamental creativity and fantasy. This talk will present an innovative framework for enterprise innovation that includes a methodology and an innovation management platform which is based on an generic behavioural pattern (i.e., independent of the industrial sector), a strong knowledge orientation, and an innovation monitoring system funded on a number of Key Performance Indicators, to constantly keep the progress of the innovation project under control.

Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
1. ACCELERATE
A go-to-market acceleration platform for ICT
Project Results
PROJECT ORIGINS
Innovation is much more than creating
technology; it must ‘go to market’. Many
companies need new ways to rapidly
validate the match between the market and
their innovative ICT-intensive technology.
ACCELERATE took up the challenge of enabling
the mass adoption of acceleration knowhow by
European technology companies by focusing
on two goals: the transfer of knowledge on a
massive scale and the introduction of a new
type of product development, the so-called
validated learning process that systematically
searches for the technology-market match by
validating the mechanics of a business model.
TECHNOLOGY APPLIED
The aim was to create services based
on technological innovation, advanced
processes and new software technologies, so
a four-phase methodology was adopted and
used by the companies in the consortium:
from idea to problem/solution fit through
product/market fit to scalability. This
approach featured the development of
acceleration methodologies and performance
indicators for ICT, defining the industrial
case studies to determine the current state
of practice, extract and validate methods
and gather experiences. Other developments
included tools and dashboards, such as a
customer portal for accelerated customer
service and increased satisfaction through
ACCELERATE process
a more automated service, along with
transparent information sharing and
dashboards as a tool to accelerate cultural
change. Furthermore, an innovation canvas, a
dashboard, tool and service to accelerate the
sales process, a mobile app for collaboration
and a tool concept to accelerate the go-
to-market process were developed. The
industrial acceleration use cases and pilots
pointed the way to future research needs for
acceleration technologies and communities.
Out of all this emerged an ACCELERATE
platform that eases and facilitates interactions
between start-ups and investors for business
and product ideas or just an idea that can
become marketable. The platform was built
on Drupal 7 CMS, an enterprise-level open
source solution for anything that implies
content, user profiles, user roles and access
permissions. Start-ups can communicate on
the platform using the forums and with other
users using the Private Messaging System.
They can also access all the information
sections of the platform and contribute to
the library of resources by adding/publishing
tools, methodologies, KPIs, success stories
and lessons learnt. Most importantly, they
have the possibility to add/edit/remove ideas.
Investors can also use these features but for
private ideas they must request access from
the idea owner in order to view its details.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The ITEA 2 project ACCELERATE set out to shorten the innovation cycle and time-to-market, and to increase the number of new products
or solutions as well as the number of ideas that are accelerated and/or created. The project has created a lot of visibility for this highly
relevant topic and has had significant transformational impact on several of the companies (e.g. new spin-offs, products and business
models, culture changes).
2. ITEA is the EUREKA Cluster programme supporting innovative, industry-driven, pre-competitive R&D projects
in the area of Software-intensive Systems & Services (SiSS). ITEA stimulates projects in an open community
of large industry, SMEs, universities, research institutes and user organisations. As ITEA is a EUREKA Cluster,
the community is founded in Europe based on the EUREKA principles and is open to participants worldwide.

MAJOR PROJECT OUTCOMES
ACCELERATE
12014
MAKING THE DIFFERENCE
The results of ACCELERATE are already visible
in the impact they are already having on
the project’s partners. For example, BEIA
is able to scale innovative business faster
and enlarge their businesses with the two
spin-offs that were set up. Lappeenranta
University of Technology has integrated
the ACCELERATE results to the curricula
on Strategic Entrepreneurship and Open
Innovation, and is like VTT networking in new
directions, preparing new research projects
and developing new knowledge to sell future
customer projects. Mondragon University has
integrated an Entrepreneurship itinerary in the
Engineering Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees
to improve the transfer of research results to
companies and to boost entrepreneurship
among students. Sivsa accelerated their
software analysis and development process,
which enables in future faster market entrance
of their innovative IT products. Sirris builds
further on the acceleration framework it
developed in ACCELERATE to boost the
adoption of acceleration knowledge in
Belgium. Another consortium member, AAC
Global, has benefitted in being able to truly
‘go global’ and serve customers efficiently
regardless of location while automation
enabled in AAC internal processes creates
possibilities to accelerate the turnaround
time of its services, with the expected impact
of growth. Aptual, created a new spin-off,
Johku, on the basis of the methodologies
learnt in the project and Bittium’s share
of business ideas has risen from some
25% to 35%, with a total of 180 ideas
handled, and the potential impact of the
ACCELERATE project within three years
amounts to revenues of several million
euros. And the potential of more to come.
Zenjoy has enjoyed revenue growth of
33% due to the ACCELERATE results. But
the impact is not just financial – more and
better qualified employees, better clients,
more professional R&D, new products and
services as well as a quicker go-to-market
process are among the other impactful
effects of the project on Zenjoy.
The ACCELERATE partners are now digital
transition experts with a huge amount
of industrial experience on the topic. To
share their knowledge, some of them
participated in the first ITEA Digital
transformation Masterclass set-up with
VINNOVA in October 2016 in Stockholm,
targeting managers from Swedish Industry
confronted with the digital transition of
their organisation, and willing to learn how
the digital approach can be an opportunity
to transform their organisation to be closer
to their customers. So the impact continues
to spread!
