Ctrl-alt-del: Rebooting the Business Model for the Digital AgeCapgemini
Our research with the MIT Sloan Management Review reveals that only 16% of organizations are leveraging digital technologies to develop new business models. Most organizations follow traditional approaches to innovation that focus on new products and services, rather than on business models. However, research suggests that the returns from traditional approaches have been diminishing with time. As Serguei Netessine, Professor at INSEAD Singapore says, “Pharmaceutical companies spend as much as 30% of their revenues on R&D, trying to develop new products or technologies. But the return from this enormous expenditure has been very elusive and it is a common problem across industries.” Business model reinvention can be as good a route as technology, product or service innovations. This research highlight five different approaches that organizations can adopt to reinvent their business model with digital technologies.
Only few organizations wise up to new digital competitors, as they usually come from outside their own sector and are not taken seriously at first. Their allegedly inferior propositions confuse prominent players, who should in fact be the very first to be fully aware of potentially disruptive innovation.
To swing into action rapidly, existing organizations would be well advised to properly analyze anything resembling digital competition. Evidently, there are clear patterns behind the startup success marking a new techno-economic reality. Ecosystems, APIs, and platforms characterize this New Normal where customers have more freedom of choice and better service at lower costs.
These successful disruptors are called two-sided market players, also known as multi-sided platform players. Companies like Uber and Airbnb are getting all the media attention, however there are over 9000 players (and counting) active in almost every industry.
The new VINT report explores the new digital competition and presents:
A analysis of the success factors of disruption
10 design principles of the new digital competition like Unbundle your organization processes, APIs first. Access over ownership and Building trust with social systems
The need for every business to develop a API-strategy
An appeal to the CIO and the IT department to use a leading digital approach and map out an offensive technological route.

In the past few years, information technology has become increasingly personal and social and has made its presence very much felt. The emergence of wearable computing and other forms of empathic ‘things’ seems a logical further step: even more intimate, more human-oriented, and ubiquitous. There are more and more devices that count our steps, take our blood pressure or measure the indoor temperature, track our location or conversations.
We are witnessing a computer boom in terms of kinds, shapes and sizes – around, on or inside the body – that behave increasingly smart and link up more and more intuitively with man’s extremely personal and natural interface.
In the next decade Personal Computing will become really personal: inside, on and around the person with attention for the context of the individual.

Designing for Manufacturing's 'Internet of Things'Cognizant
The deeper meshing of virtual and physical machines offers the potential to truly transform the manufacturing value chain, from suppliers through customers, and at every touchpoint along the way.
It’s not enough to embrace the new digital era. The
existential challenge for companies today is to become
digitally durable - to anticipate disruption and
transform processes and products to compete on
outcomes. Whether it’s understanding the profound
impact of self-driving cars on transportation or being
a part of the smart-energy revolution, simply closing
the digital gap is no longer sufficient.
Aricent’s research, detailed in Technology Vision
2016, shows that successful companies are pursuing
an R&D paradigm that allows them to compete
aggressively on outcomes.5 These companies have a
culture that anticipates disruption to create sustainable
value from Internet of Things. They are digitally
durable.

CES 2019: From Consumer Electronics to Connected ExperiencesHavas
This year marked the 52nd year of CES– one of the most highly anticipated product launch platforms in our industry. With 2.9MM square feet of exhibition space, over 4,500 exhibiting companies flocked to Las Vegas to showcase their brands and products to consumers across every market. There were over 188,000 attendees from all over the globe, including our Havas digital strategy team, who curated the most meaningful insights and takeaways for our clients and colleagues.
Since the launch of smartphones circa 2007, the level of expectation from CES increases each year as marketers and media practitioners seek the next game-changing technologies. While it may not have been home to the next iPhone, Google or Amazon disruptor (yet), CES 2019 went beyond gadgets, robots, and cool toys.
Certain key themes have remained of top interest over the years, and they continue to build momentum in the marketplace: smart homes, voice, retail, IoT — all of which ladder up to connected experiences. Connected devices have given brands unparalleled access to consumers by shortening the distance between the consumer and what they want to engage with or buy. Conversely, they have increased the distance between brands and the consumers as multiple connections also bring the challenge of holding their attention. Connected devices and consumers enable richer opportunities for brands only when the right ecosystem powers that opportunity. Furthermore, consumers expect to get what they want in their immediate context, at their precise moment of need.
For brands, this change in the power dynamic has raised the importance of effectively and efficiently interacting with consumers across each touchpoint. To be able to distinguish themselves and drive long-term loyalty valuable consumers, they need to build a long-lasting authentic connection. This is dependent on their ability to maintain a consistent and always-on presence in front of their consumers with or without paid media dollars or exposure. In a world where marketing dollars continue to shrink, that is no small feat; however, the mandate is quite clear: To deliver the best digital marketing solutions, brands must simply find the maximum outcome from their investments. And it is with this mandate in mind that we navigated CES 2019 to draw inspiration from what was showcased on the floor and build meaningful themes for our clients and partners to share in the boardroom.

Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017 special report for SmartAirCon
1. A new IoT device for Mobile Operators & MVNOs
MWC Shanghai 2017
Booth W5.H48
2. Why Mobile Operators and MVNOs should take control of
air conditioning and introduce SmartAirCon IoT device as
a way to reduce churn and to increase ARPU?
There is no doubt the hottest topic being debated in climate policy in 2017 is how the US Government had
decided to leave the Paris Climate Accord - COP21 and what form of sustainable energy and technology
innovations could really help various city administrators to reduce the use of electricity and to reduce the overall
carbon footprint. At the 2016 GSMA Global Device Summit - MWCS16, our company’s Mr. Daniel Chun had
presented how mobile operators and MVNOs could extend their market reach in controlling the home electronics
and be involved in air conditioning around the world by way of introducing a new form of Smart IoT device that
could enhance the user experience in monitoring and controlling the air-conditioners in homes and offices; and
benefit from a new disruptive business model to reduce churn and to increase ARPU.
On the subject of achieving
sustainable consumption of our
resources, we advocate the need
to find a better way to promote the
sustainable use of air conditioning.
This is a global phenomenon,
countries are getting wealthier and
each could afford air conditioning
and reports from South America
and South-East Asia - have all
reported this growing trend. Our
world is getting hotter and in many
Asian countries, we are already
experiencing some of the record-
breaking highest mean temperature.
Most mobile operators and MVNOs have been investing into the research and development of smart home
solution for their end customers. Research has shown that although this segment is growing, it is still short of
creating a large impact to the ARPU. In particular, there is a clear service and product gap (hence opportunity) in
targeting the rather large air-conditioners installed base as the market entry point for smart home. This document
intends to highlight a different perspective in the go-to-market strategy for this growing smart home segment.
The market is currently fragmented
with companies like Xiaomi, TP-Link
and Broadlink all come up with some
form of Infrared-based controllers and
claimed the convenience of controlling
all the consumer electronics like
TV, fans and air-conditioners at
home, however the growth is far
from exciting. This is because these
products have not really be planned to
become part of a business model of a
mobile operator or MVNO’s customer
retention and acquisition strategy.
We believe our SmartAirCon IR
Motedem which promotes the re-use
of a spare smartphone or tablet PC as
the best strategy for mobile operators
and MVNOs to enter this smart home
market space.

Intelligence on Understanding 5G – Bandwidth
and latency requirements of case scenarios with

3. When most mobile operators look to renewing any customer’s contract, every customer is somewhat used
to receiving a subsidy on a new smartphone. In fact a huge value is attached to the ability to reuse the old
smartphone or tablet PC by offering another SIM card, or may be even a new IoT data plan, and to renew the
contract by giving away or subsidizing our SmartAirCon IR Motedem.
SmartAirCon IR Motedem is developed specifically with this in mind to complement a mobile operator or MVNO’s
strategy to target the living environment of mobile users with good value proposition. The IR Motedem, which
collects room temperature and intelligently control your air conditioners and fans, to achieve optimum comfort
and convenience. Additional convenience like offsite and schedule operation could be done so by reusing a
spare smartphone or tablet PC playing as the host gateway.
Remotec Technology Limited is a company that had designed and manufactured infrared remote controllers for
over 25 years and this kind IR code library expertise could now complement a mobile carrier and MVNO in co-
creating a smart IoT ecosystem. Speaking as a mobile telecom veteran, our Mr. Daniel Chun highlighted the fact
that when mobile operators and MVNOs have such a high cost to maintain their infrastructure and distribution
channel, there is a pressing need for business managers and directors at mobile carriers and MVNOs to think
outside of the box to develop a Blue Ocean Strategy for reducing churn, and gaining a new income model, and
sustain the development of a big data strategy of enabling air conditioning and other consumer devices at a
mobile users’ home.
Why air conditioning should be adopted as a smart home and smart office strategy? The answer is straight
forward, this is the single electrical appliance item that many residential and small office will have for indoor
climate and temperature control and one that is generally not well connected to our Internet or mobile services.
In developed economies and emerging markets alike, the demand of new installation of air conditioners are
experiencing high growth.

In Hong Kong, during the 2016 Policy Address, the
Innovation & Technology Bureau (ITB) announced its
collaboration with research institutions, public and private
organizations to study the development of a “Smart City”;
ITB will formulate a digital framework and industry standards
for the development of a “Smart City”. In view of this, Smart
City Consortium (SCC) has been set up by a group of
professionals representing the industry to offer expert advice
and to assist the Government to build a Smart City, so as to
achieve our vision of “Smarter Hong Kong, Smarter Living”.
As a non-Government organization dedicated to advocate
and to openly discuss about Smart City developments, we
are glad to witness the openness of the Government to instill
a collaborative environment and willingness to set up open
dialogues with the SCC, the HKGCC, other professional
organizations and the general public. This bottom-up approach
will prove to be instrumental to the long-term success of
Smart City developments in Hong Kong. The SCC pledges to
continue to serve as the platform to advocate and educate the
public about the Smart City agenda.
While the adoption of new building technologies in
new development areas is important to the road-map in
constructing new buildings, the SCC recommends that
the Government and the Environment Bureau should also
investigate how to achieve energy savings with the rest of
the old buildings scattered across the cities. According to the
Buildings Department, over 85% of the buildings are 10 years
or older and hence many of which will require some form
of retrofitting technologies that could be installed to achieve
the energy saving objectives. In Hong Kong, residential use
of air conditioning contributes to 34% of the consumption of
electricity, and to help solve this problem, some Hong Kong
enterprising company have developed award-winning solution
like SmartAirCon to specifically target at eliminating the
peak demand of electricity, reducing green house gas (GHG)
emission and reducing the electricity bill. Similar product
innovations in energy management like smart thermostats
(e.g. Google’s Nest) are even subsidized by the local utility
company in the United States. At the SCC, we also believe
that the utility companies in Hong Kong could follow suite by
subsidizing the installation of these smart IoT devices to help
achieve energy saving, reduce electricity bills - thus bringing
direct benefit to the people of Hong Kong.

Research & Blueprint Committee of the Smart City Consortium of
Hong Kong. In 2017/2018, the Smart City Consortium will collaborate
with Remotec Technology Limited to propose the SmartAirCon
solution to implement a programme for Elderly Homes, Nurseries and
Kindergartens where many beneficiaries could benefit from Smart IoT
devices for comfort, convenience and control.
