How Industry is Innovating and
Adapting to Change
Red Queen Effect
“The Red Queen effect is an evolutionary hypothesis which proposes
that organisms must constantly adapt, evolve, and proliferate not merely
to gain reproductive advantage, but also simply to survive while pitted
against ever-evolving opposing organisms in a constantly changing
environment.”
The most innovative successful businesses are constantly running!

The 3 Horizons of Innovation.
• Activities that are most closely
aligned to your current business.
• Current Landscape
• Current Customers
• Improving LOB systems
• Improving procedures
• Adding new revenue streams
• Without adding staff or resources
• Creating new business models
that don’t exist today.
• Crystal Ball
• Predicting the future

An example of H2 Innovation:
https://www.knowledgeexchange.unsw.edu.au/free-technologies/easy-access-ip
• Problem - About 80% of the inventions and IP developed world-wide at
universities never finds its way into productive use.
• Solution - ‘One Page’ agreements, with a University?
• UNSW Sydney is the first University in Australia to offer IP for free to the
private sector.
• Seven universities in Australia have adopted EasyAccessIP.
• Example: A new way to keep ice off power lines
Invention number: 2015-052

Low Code:
OutSystems is a low-code platform that lets you
visually develop your entire application, easily
integrate with existing systems, and add your own
custom code when you need it.
8. Another emerging tech: The Trust Layer:
Global Network 1998 - Internet
2008 – Smart Phone
2018 - Blockchain
2028 – Augmented Intelligence
Handheld Computing
Trust Layer
Real world and virtual world blurred

9. The first casualty of failure is the truth.
The truth just disappears.

Industry Collaboration
The Red Queen Effect:
• Industry is running!
• Students are running!
• Let’s make sure that as a University
we keep running!

Editor's Notes
That’s how simple it is.
A story from Lewis Carroll “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”
We have to keep moving and evolving.
How?
First a little bit about me.
Part traditional IT.
Mostly innovative.
We align companies technology to their business goals.
We limit ourselves to a portfolio of companies.
Over 10 years ago we innovated with our ITaaS model.
More recently we have been helping companies innovate with our INNaaS company incubatorTANK
Unique model where ..
Some projects that we are working on are.
Now to talk about the how.
This concept comes from the Book “Alchemy of Growth” Published in 2000
It allows us to structure our thinking to spark innovation
70/20/10 rule
I attended a conference at La Trobe University in Bendigo
Builds trust with industry.
A common narrative is to support students to create Startup businesses.
My mission is to nurture the next generation of leader through mentorship.
Master / Apprentice model.
Solomon Hykes started Docker in France as an internal project within dotCloud
Docker runs the same on Dev, staging and production.
Kubernetes offers more control to dynamically control resources.
The Death Star is not a movie!
Compute resources move closer to the data.
Managing development is much easier.
It allows our junior developers to be abstracted from the lower level stuff.
Pattern of innovation platforms.
Initially brittle
Smart Phone all look the same today
Internet is everywhere and in some countries only accessed by smart phones
Over time IoT sensors capture truth dust and bottle it.
They put it on an immutable distributed digital ledger.
Any failure of a system traditionally would be expensive to reverse engineer with expert witnesses and lawyers.
The truth dust allows regulators and insurance something that they never had before.
We are all contributors to this automation problem.
Students do not have the same opportunity to gain experience.
Rapidly changing world and automation.
What can we do?
Law / Medicine has regulatory bodies for lawyers and doctors.
With Engineers and IT it’s optional.
