The document provides guidance on strategic mergers and acquisitions. It discusses evaluating whether to build capabilities organically or acquire them. Key considerations for the "make vs buy" decision include whether organic growth will be too expensive or slow, if there is a value mismatch that prevents internal development, or if unique assets only allow acquisition. The document also emphasizes that acquisitions should fit a company's strategic direction and competitive advantage. It introduces a framework for analyzing acquisitions based on the resources, processes, and values that are being obtained.

The challenges in the current economy are to invest in innovation projects that pay back in the short term and pay off in the long term – and to fund these projects by extracting resources from existing operations. Drawing on his experience as a venture capitalist as well as research for his recent book Dealing with Darwin: How Great Companies Innovate at Every Phase of Their Evolution, Geoffrey Moore will describe how organisations large and small can determine their own fates at a time when many of their competitors are bemoaning theirs.
Measurement now plays a critical role in developing an understanding of campaign success and failure.

Chris Yates, Director at Vision Ventures, presents the “Benchmarking Value in the Age of AI: Rational Decisions About Black Box Technology” tutorial at the May 2021 Embedded Vision Summit.
The combination of AI and embedded vision promises compelling solutions to an almost infinite range of practical problems, often vastly outperforming historical techniques, while stimulating a pace of development unsurpassed since the early days of the internet. As innovative companies progress through each stage of the life cycle from launch, through growth, and towards successful exits, assessments of the commercial value of the company are critical.
With many AI vision companies relying on technical excellence as the foundation of competitive advantage, it has become increasingly difficult for external investors and stakeholders to make informed judgments about value. In this presentation, Yates shares his company’s view and practical approach to assessing value contained in AI companies as a means to help investors make more informed decisions, help companies effectively communicate their value and assist acquiring companies in identifying and valuing acquisition targets.
A great technology and a compelling customer need are necessary but not sufficient to change the world. What is missing? This workshop on failing forward explores common model of innovation, pivoting and generating insights and results.

Per this article on Forbes, every dollar invested in improving UX has multifold returns. Good design is just good business.

Open Group Presentation on MSBI method of creating Enterprise Architecture Co...Nick Malik
This presentation describes a step-by-step process for creating a core diagram that is applicable to companies that exist within the collaboration operating model, as described by Ross and Weill in their book "Enterprise Architecture As Strategy." The method produces a core diagram that preserves business agility by forcing the enterprise architect to consider the costs and benefits of reuse of processes, information, services, and systems. The resulting model supports "Capability at the Core, and Agility at the Edge."
