When it comes to making even simplest of decisions regarding project selection, the number of factors to be taken into account can exceed our cognitive capacities. If you add number of stakeholders to be involved, consulted & informed , with their own interest & motivations , project selection becomes a hot bed of interpersonal & organisation complexity.
RVCE Prioritization Matrix is best used when an organization needs to prioritise important project and decide which ones it wants to focus on to achieve their strategic and operational goals. Leaders need to use RVCE matrix as a guideline for direction rather then definitive answer.

Leveraging Design Thinking for Value Enhancement of Digital Transformation Innomantra
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Digital Transformation has been making waves and has found widespread recognition in most industries. What started as a driver of marginal efficiency is now rapidly shifting to become an enabler of fundamental innovation and disruption within an organization. The scope and scale of digital-driven change continue to grow immensely. However, organizations are still grappling with the nuances of the journey of digital transformation implementation, its implications or its impact. Digital transformation is not about adopting technologies but having an integrated approach involving people and leadership.
This white paper presents the context of digital transformation in manufacturing organizations. It redefines the process to incorporate important aspects such as breaking the silos, rescoping the challenge/ objectives, having an iterative approach and using design thinking to better understand the value implication of such an exercise. Case studies from clients have been used to illustrate the same.

PRESTO’s idea crowdsourcing functionality allows your leadership team to ‘throw challenges’ to the crowd accelerating the idea generation process to align your staff’s problem solving skills with the executive corporate growth strategy
NC State's Poole College of Management presents the misconceptions of innovation's role in business and the benefits resulting from the effective implementation of innovation into your company.
Our experience helping companies launch their innovation strategy has led us to believe that, to a great extent, one of the most important challenges facing companies that have started out on this journey is without doubt intelligent risk management.
Achieving Business Agility: Change Starts HereJoshua A. Jack
Oftentimes organizations fall into the trap of thinking that change, such as agility, must start in specific areas. But not all agile adoptions/transformations have to start in IT. In this seminar, we will discuss agile adoption/transformation and its starting points in three different areas inside the organization:
Product Portfolio – how we identify what work needs to happen and when
Product Ideation – how agility can and should change the way we look at new products and their requirements
HR – how we start to level up our current and future team members to be able to handle agility
For organisations that need to keep up with the velocity of change in their markets, customers and technology, Digital Agility is an end-to-end concept to market approach that enables you to deliver innovation faster and with less risk.
Unlike traditional product development and delivery models, Digital Agility is a lean, insight driven technique that helps you become more nimble, innovative, and responsive.
It is difficult it is to identify companies that have scalable business models AND equally important will they be able to execute their business plans. We have been working on this challenge now for over 4 years.In the past, a few interviews and some financial analysis might have been enough. Today, markets are more complex, and businesses are harder to evaluate. To solve this challenge have recently combined over 10 years of research on more than 10,000 companies to create an assessment that objectively measures: 1/. Scalability of the business 2/. And their ability to deliver innovation consistently.
The accuracy of our assessments are very good. Right now, with a 1-hour assessment, we are able to correctly classify businesses by scalability and able to predict just under 80% of their variance of innovation success
In the decades to come, open innovation will play a key role in developed economies revolutionising how organisations deliver value to their customers, shareholders and employees.
This focus on IDEATION will allow companies to become or remain innovative, increasing the chances for new products, customer acquisition and increased financial performance.

Abstract:
Customer Wellness & Fitness reveals the major cycles and moments of joy and disappointment in strategic service outsourcing engagements. At the core of this thesis is applying the physician’s Hippocratic Oath to complex service engagements: “To Do No Harm.” Service agreements describing these engagements generally last anywhere from three years to ten years and represent hundreds of millions and at times billions of dollars of revenue over the contract period. We discover the first six months prior to contract signing and the first six months after contract signing represent a critical year. This is when the seeds are sown in the soil of the relationship for sustainable satisfaction and healthy performance or dissatisfaction and interaction illness. Developed diagnostics allow teams to understand if working together is on-track for success or will derail and wither early-on. Starting with inquiry and research for IBM clients and then observations with other enterprises and their clients value chain partners, there are observable patterns contributing to customer wellness and fitness across a constellation of enterprise activities. The good news: Most derailment factors are preventable. The bad news: Organization inertia and inappropriate incentives along with insufficient key performance indicators (KPIs) and service level agreements (SLAs) whether delivered by people or platforms continue to plague strategic relationships.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

NEWS FLASH: Innovation Can Be…
Some feel ‘Innovation’ is just an
idea and that it cannot actually
be achieved, but is rather a
stroke of luck.
Stated differently,
‘It’s a pie in the sky ideal…’
Taught Learned

And…
6. 6
Enter the CIMS IM Framework
Management Dimensions:
• Strategy
• Organization & Culture
• Process
• Techniques & Tools
• Metrics
Core Competences:
• Idea Management
• Market Management
• Portfolio Management
• Platform Management
• Project Management
Levels:
• Firm
• Industry
• Macro-environment
Levels: Areas which innovation takes place. CIMS primary research focus has
historically been at the ‘Firm’ Level.
Core Competences: Competences are NOT processes. They are the basic
capabilities of innovation. It is management’s job to ensure an organization
learn and master each of these.
Management Dimensions: Management activities required to build strong,
durable innovation management capabilities. Each dimension cross-cuts
each IM Competence.
Note: Competences & Dimensions, when considered holistically, provide a
complete and integrated system for helping organizations get results. Improve
and Manage their Innovation.

Maturity Models Defined
• A maturity model can be viewed as a set of structured levels that
describe how well the behaviors, practices and processes of an
organization can reliably and sustainably produce required outcomes.
OR
• A maturity model can be used as a benchmark for comparison and as
an aid to understanding.
In the case of the CMM, for example, the basis for comparison would be the organizations' software
development processes.

Maturity Model Definitions
Level 1
Ad Hoc
Level 2
Defined
Level 3
Managed
Level 4
Leveraged
Level 5
Optimized
Represents the initial state. This results from organizations having no concerted focus on innovation
When the organization makes innovation a strategic imperative and resources are dedicated
to improving the firm’s practice of innovation management
When managers’ actions reinforce the desired new behavior and their goal is to
institutionalize the new innovation business model
When synergies occur. The company seeks the input of people and
ideas outside the boundary of the firm
When the new innovation model is fully internalized;
business results are repeatable and predictable
*Based on Carnegie Mellon Maturity Model
Five levels of maturity separate ‘Ad
hoc’ companies from those that are
‘Optimized’:
11. 11
Ad Hoc
• Ideas about new breakthrough products and services is thought to be the domain of R&D. When employees are encouraged to submit their
ideas, they often do not receive relief from their ‘day jobs’ to pursue them.
• Project ‘champions’ are often required to persevere and drive promising ideas to commercialization.
• Employees may be cynical and question the importance management places on innovation.
Defined
• The R&D portfolio is segmented into ‘Phases’ (e.g. Opportunity field and business cases) to ensure adequate investments and talents, are
allocated to the early identification and maturation of new, promising technologies.
• Ideas are sought that address the full range of strategic issues, such as sustainability, services and solutions, etc.
• Employees are presented with idea generation tools and encouraged to formally submit ideas.
Managed
• Management presides over the organization’s ‘innovation board’ (e.g. IM Team, Portfolio Team, Steering Committee); new ideas are
systematically reviewed and employees provided ‘space’ (time and resources) to develop their ideas (before entering the formal project
development process).
• Cross-functional project teams (e.g. R&D, Manufacturing, Sales & Marketing, Business Development, Finance, etc.), using standard decision
support tools, evaluate the commercial potential of the idea before substantial investments of time and capital are made.
Leveraged
• The organization realizes that breakthrough ideas typically come from outside the company; it openly invites key business partners, suppliers,
and academics to participate in the innovation process; organization actively ‘in licenses’ novel new technologies to complement its existing
pipeline.
• Creative and flexible IP policies are employed to motivate open and collaborative innovation.
• Management challenges this ‘extended’ organization with the toughest business problems facing the organization; people are recognized for
ideas leading to their solution.
Optimized
• The organization is ‘ambidextrous’. Separate and distinct idea management capabilities - i.e. with different project sponsors, financial metrics,
and risk management techniques - are established at the ‘front end’ of the organization’s innovation model to manage incremental and
radical ideas.
• A formal Alliance Management System is in place; all associates are treated as peers.
Idea Management
Idea Management is the ability of a firm to effectively identify, assimilate, and qualify information regarding new technologies, or ideas, that can lead to highly
differentiated, breakthrough products and services.
Activities Include: Boundary Spanning, Technology Scanning and Evaluation, Applied Research, Collaboration with Early Adopters/Scientific Centers, etc.
Idea Management begins to answer the question of competitive advantage by simultaneously examining technology and market factors. Ideas about possible market
opportunities made feasible by new technologies is often the point where innovation begins.

How to interpret MMA results
Common IM patterns:
• “Root Cause can be elusive”
• “Confusing activity for results”
• “Perceptions are often
skewed”
Going deeper into the cube…
“The best thing about the IMMA is it provides the organization with
a common language about how to manage innovation”
Professor Richard Kouri

“We have a portfolio management problem!”
• When we look at our portfolio of projects they are all
incremental innovations – there are no true winners!
• Top management is losing faith in us; they tell us “quick, do
this project” – but we never stop any projects.
• It seems like we are working harder than ever…
• We think they are pursuing an acquisition to immediately
shore up our pipeline

“Ship without a rudder”
• Little or no market orientation
• No strategic planning
• Portfolio Management and Org &
Culture suffer as a result
• Employees watch how senior
management allocate resources

“We have a time-to-market problem!”
• Decisions, when made, take too long
• We seem to always be behind our competitors
• By the time we get our product/service launched all the
profits have been made and we are left to compete on
price
• Our employees are really disheartened; they read the trade
press – some of them are leaving and going to smaller
companies

B. Strengths sometimes hide a gaping hole

“One trick pony”
• Caused by a breakdown in Platform
Management and Strategy
• Everything is a “one off”
• Ability to quickly address niche market
cells is severely limited.
• Very costly and inefficient business
model
• Impacts Organization & Culture (of
course, everything does!)

“Our products don’t excite our new customers!”
• Work is no fun anymore; its not the company I remember
• I really don’t know what our strategy is?
• Management seems averse to taking any risk
• Heavy focus on making quarterly results – and not much
else
• Our products and services are just “Me too”
C. Some factors count more than others

“Stuck in Incrementalism”
• No capability… no will(?) to identify
and develop ideas
• Organization lacks an entrepreneurial
spirit and drive
• Combined with no strategy and a
weak / non-existent Idea
Management capability can be life
threatening

D. Innovation must be led from the top
General rule #1
• Only top management can set
strategy, allocate resources and affect
the culture of the organization through
their actions
• Its middle management’s job to
amplify on these directions and put
them into operation
Facts:
“Top management sweet spot”

E. Don’t confuse activity with results
• Scorecard is dominated by 2’s
(“Defined” level of maturity)
• Organization may have hired
consultants; done some initial
benchmarking; even documented
their “to be” process”…
• Until all the competencies are
“Managed” (Level 3 maturity) there
can be no change in performance
Facts:
General rule #2 “Wake up call!”

F. Caution: Perceptions are often skewed
“Rose-colored glasses”
• “We’re OK!”; [you are not OK?]
• Often the response given by:
• Senior Management
• ‘Longer tenured’ people
• The R&D Function!
• Very common – why taking
demographic ‘slices’ is important
before launching any improvement
program

1
Ad hoc
Ideas about new breakthrough products and services is thought to be the domain of R&D. When employees are
encouraged to submit their ideas, they often do not receive relief from their ‘day jobs’ to pursue them.
Project ‘champions’ are often required to persevere and drive promising ideas to commercialization.
Employees may be cynical and question the importance management places on innovation.
2
Defined
The R&D portfolio is segmented into ‘horizons’ (e.g.H1,H2, and H3) to ensure adequate investments and talents, are
allocated to the early identification and maturation of new, promising technologies.
Ideas are sought that address the full range of strategic issues, such as sustainability, services and solutions, etc.
Employees are presented with idea generation tools and encouraged to formally submit ideas.
3 Managed
Management presides over the organization’s ‘innovation board’; new ideas are systematically reviewed and
employees provided ‘space’ (time and resources) to develop their ideas (before entering the formal project
development process).
Cross-functional project teams (e.g. R&D, Manufacturing, Sales & Marketing, Business Development, Finance, etc.), using
standard decision support tools, evaluate the commercial potential of the idea before substantial investments of time
and capital are made.
4 Leveraged
The organization realizes that breakthrough ideas typically come from outside the company; it openly invites key business
partners, suppliers, and academics to participate in the innovation process; organization actively ‘in licenses’ novel new
technologies to complement its existing pipeline.
Creative and flexible IP policies are employed to motivate open and collaborative innovation.
Management challenges this ‘extended’ organization with the toughest business problems facing the organization;
people are recognized for ideas leading to their solution.
5 Optimized
The organization is ‘ambidextrous’. Separate and distinct idea management capabilities - i.e. with different project
sponsors, financial metrics, and risk management techniques - are established at the ‘front end’ of the organization’s
innovation model to manage incremental and radical ideas.
A formal Alliance Management System is in place; all associates are treated as peers.
