Pinstripe Healthcare Presents: Innovating For Results - HR’s Role to Lead and...Cielo
Top healthcare providers are finding that fostering and rewarding innovation across all functions is leading to significant operational efficiencies and improved patient satisfaction scores. At the same time, others find themselves falling behind as they struggle to create lasting change in their organizations. During this hour-long session, attendees will hear the best-practice stories of executives and HR leaders that have risen to the challenge, taking incremental steps to create environments in which innovative thinking and delivery are making tangible differences in the lives of employees, patients and their communities.
Invited Panel Talk given to the IEEE ENET - Boston Entrepreneurs - meeting in Waltham, MA; Jan 8. 2013. I was honored to speak on this panel alongside Bill Star, a funding guru and president of VenCorps and Jeffrey Peden, serial entrepreneur and founder of Cravelabs. My focus was on "Lessons learned by the ig guys who's invested in developing best practice", combined with some "school of hard knocks" observations.
The central theme of my talk on the panel was
1) Really great mega-companies have spent millions of dollars figuring out best practice for innovation, prototyping and product development.
2) Use their investment to your advantage
3) Don’t try to emulate them – you have neither the time nor the money to do so
4) However, learn the why and wherefore of their practices and extract and use the essence
5) You will get to a better product if you do
Addressing Today's Challenges in Application DevelopmentMicro Focus
Today’s business climate demands increased agility, adaptive skill sets, and fast-paced innovation in IT. With the introduction of popular trends such as mobile and tablet computing, increased security threats and the growing adoption of Cloud-based services, how do application development teams respond? Can reliable, time-tested, and proven application technologies such as COBOL adapt to meet this changing paradigm and business need? We’ll take a close look in this session at the application development landscape today, the growing technology and process trends, and the outlook for existing business applications and enterprise application development.

Cyclical Changes
In a temporary layoff, an employer “suspends” an employee’s job, generally because of slack demand. Both the employer and the employee expect their relationship to resume when economic conditions improve. The employer may even help the employee apply for unemployment insurance benefits so that he or she is more likely to wait out the layoff instead of taking another job.When layoffs are temporary, subsequent recalls can take place quickly, fueling fast payroll growth.
Structural Changes
By contrast, a permanent layoff severs the relationship
between the employer and the employee. The employer
eliminates the job for any of a variety of reasons, including a
permanent fall in demand, technological change, reorganization of production, and local or international outsourcing. Even an employer that ultimately decides to fill the job again will need to search for a new employee.
Together with our findings on temporary layoffs, it suggests that the two most recent recessions were more strongly structural than recessions past.
Stephen Ezell presented ITIF's work on competitiveness, innovation, and productivity as well as evidence from our various reports on countries innovation rankings at the 2012 EPISIS Conference.
Taking the whole picture into account, this report finds that the United States has made rapid progress in broadband deployment, performance, and price, as well as adoption when measured as computer-owning households who subscribe to broadband. Considering the high cost of operating and upgrading broadband networks in a largely suburban nation, the prices Americans pay for broadband services are reasonable and the performance of our networks is better than in all but a handful of nations that have densely populated urban areas and have used government subsidies to leap-frog several generations of technology ahead of where the market would go on its own in response to changing consumer demands. All in all, the state of American broadband is good and getting better, but there is still room for improvement in selected areas.
ITIF president Rob Atkinson delivers the keynote address at the STGlobal Conference. STGlobal Consortium is an international, interdisciplinary organization of leading graduate programs in science and technology policy (STP) and science and technology studies (STS). Its mission is to inspire and challenge graduate students to contribute to the forefront of research on science and technology policy and social issues, and to foster mutual understanding in the S&T community.
"Three pillars for ITS Development: National Vision, Investment, Strong Government Leadership" focuses on the importance of ITS for developing economies.
In a featured presentation at the ATSE Forum, Rob Atkinson stresses the relationship between innovation and productivity. All nations need an innovation-productivity strategy because addressing complex and systemic challenges–such as achieving affordable health care, combating global climate change, achieving sustainable energy production, deploying digital infrastructure, etc.–requires coordinated strategies leveraging the resources of firms, government, academia. And, in contrast to what the conventional neo-classical economic doctrine holds, markets alone will produce societally sub-optimal levels of innovation.

Enabling Innovation: A Strength In Any EconomyPhil McKinney
Innovation is not the sole responsibility of a single group within the organization. All groups play a role in enabling innovation.
This presentation challenges the CIO/CTO:
1) Think differently about their leadership role when it comes to enabling innovation.
2) Provide some insight into "whats coming" so they can express an opinion to their peers and CEO.
Don't set back and hope someone else is going to pick up the mantle. Take charge.
What is innovation? What are the different types of innovation? Which types of innovation are most important for the success of your enterprise? How do you capture the value of the innovation that you do? How do you build a culture of innovation that will sustain your company in the future?
What is the game? How is it changing? Who are the innovators? How to innovate in today’s world ... inspiring keynote from Peter Fisk, first presented in Budapest, January 2012

ITIF Senior Analyst Stephen Ezell presented on the future of advanced manufacturing at the AAAS annual conference. His presentation argued for the correct policies to support a robust advanced manufacturing climate in the United States.
The United States’ leadership position in biomedical research is no longer assured, especially as the governments of an increasing number of countries are investing more in life sciences research as a share of their GDP than the United States.
In the last decade, manufacturing job growth in the United States has been slower than in any other developed nation. Rob Atkinson calls for a national industrial policy that fosters innovation through tax incentives, workforce development and technology investments. Further, many economists maintain a market-driven approach to policy that has dominated decision-making in Washington. More government and private industry partnerships are needed to re-establish the United States as a global manufacturing leader.
On September 19, 2011, ITIF Senior Analyst Daniel Castro spoke on a panel at the Global IP Academy’s “Copyright in the Digital Age” program sponsored by the United States Copyright Office and the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). His panel was entitled “Copyright Technology 101” and he discussed the various controls that can be used to protect intellectual property in different parts of the Internet ecosystem. The program was held at the USPTO in Alexandria, Virginia and included approximately 50 foreign government officials working on copyright issues.
Senior Fellow Val Giddings, as part of "Innovation Day" 2011, presents on the importance of chemistry in evolving sustainable agricultural practices. He argues both Green Revolution Solutions (internal involving topical applications of pesticides/herbicides, external apps of fertilizers) and Doubly Green Revolution Solutions (building on GR but adding solutions from work with internal chemistry) are essential and indispensible to feeding a world population of billions.
The Great Recession officially ended more than two years ago but the recovery is barely perceptible and anxious policymakers are running out of options. Washington cannot seem to agree on what caused the Recession in the first place or how to create robust job growth. One camp argues for revving up consumer demand through fiscal and monetary policy. The other says the financial system got out of control and we just have to wait for our books to get back into balance.
Remarkably, neither of the dominant schools of thought focuses on the principal cause of the Great Recession and our current anemic jobs recovery- the collapse of U.S. manufacturing and innovation-based competitiveness over the last generation. Faulty diagnosis leads to ineffective cures. It's time for a new approach grounded in a new diagnosis.
Rob Atkinson dispels thirteen common internet myths, ranging from the takeover of the Cloud to unprecedented privacy concerns. The reality is the internet era will continue to be dominated by the West, create more jobs, and will have an evolved structure of gatekeepers and personal privacy controls.
From check-in kiosks in airports to tax preparation software, self-service technology has generated a wide range of benefits and savings for consumers, businesses and government. Over the long term, self-service technology will likely be a major force for growth in productivity and improved quality of life. And yet, policymakers and government leaders often fail to see this.
The Obama Administration is wisely moving forward with a landmark trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Ideally, it will increase regional economic integration between the U.S. and eight other Asia-Pacific nations. But in a new report, Gold-Standard or WTO-Lite? Shaping the Trans-Pacific Partnership, ITIF questions whether the TPP will truly raise the bar for fair, market-based trade or allow the continuation of rampant mercantilist practices such as intellectual property theft, non-tariff barriers, discriminatory government procurement practices and other practices that have hurt U.S. economic growth and invited skepticism of global trade.
One of the most interesting policy developments in the global innovation race is known as a patent box, which provides preferential tax treatment for corporate income that comes from patented products. The goal is to encourage commercialization of R&D. Most people in the United States have never heard of patent boxes but within just the last four years, seven countries have adopted the idea. The Netherlands has even expanded its patent box into an "innovation box" that allows profits from R&D-based products or services that have not resulted in a patent or trademark to also be eligible for the lower patent box tax rate. Is the U.S. falling even further behind in the race for global innovation because it has not adopted a patent box? Can a patent box be a way for the U.S. to jump start its global competitiveness?
U.S. manufacturing is in crisis, with almost 6 million jobs lost and 42,000 factories closed over the last decade. Even worse, we are losing know-how and ultimately control over our future. While the U.S. retains important strengths, U.S. manufacturing competitiveness is slipping rapidly. There is no reason to resign ourselves to defeat or to sugarcoat the challenges we face. We possess the tools, talent, and resources to revive manufacturing. But to do so we need a national strategy for manufacturing renewal. This report explains the five key reasons why we need to act quickly and boldly to revitalize our manufacturing sector.
The United States is at risk of losing its global competitive advantage and with it faster per-capita income growth. To effectively respond, the nation must take concerted and strategic actions in a host of areas, including reform of the corporate tax code to transform it into a more effective tool to support private sector efforts to innovate and be more productive.
The Atlantic Century II updates ITIF’s 2009 report on the United States’ innovation-based competitiveness compared with a diverse group of countries. Using 16 key indicators, such as scientists and engineers, corporate and government R&D, venture capital, productivity and trade performance, the 2011 report finds that America has made little or no progress since 1999. Of the 44 countries and regions surveyed, the United States still ranks fourth behind Singapore, Finland and Sweden. But this is down from the number one position in 2000. Of greater concern, however, is the fact that the U.S. continues to rank at the bottom–second only to Italy–on progress in improving its innovation capacity and competitiveness over the last decade. But the updated report contains encouraging news for some individual states.
There is growing interest in the issue of corporate tax reform as a way to boost economic growth and U.S. international competitiveness. While any comprehensive tax reform involves a multitude of issues, one important issue is the extent to which a reformed tax code should include, or even stress, specific incentives to shape corporate behavior.
There is a growing sense of urgency for bipartisan commitment to restoring America's competitive edge through innovation. How can we find the right mix of private sector dynamism and government support, as well as the political consensus required, to stay ahead of global competition and boost long-term prosperity?

Why didn’t IBM keep the operating system?
Why didn’t Microsoft create the browser?
Why didn’t AT&T create AOL?
Why didn’t American Airlines create
Southwest?
Why didn’t Citibank create PayPal?
Why didn’t Blockbuster create Netflix?
Why didn’t Sam Goody’s create iTunes?
It takes effort to stand in the future and see new
possibilities.
Just because you’re not willing to disrupt your own
business, doesn’t mean someone else isn’t willing to
do it for you.

human capital and other workplace practices are combined
with technology.”

27. Organizational Change is Also Required
A distinct corporate culture and organizational practices
are found in most corporations that make extensive use of
IT and the Internet. They:
1. Move from paper-based to digital business processes
2. Empower front line service personnel
3. Foster open information access
4. Link incentives to performance
5. Maintain focus and communicate goals
