I have been invited to present at this year's Born2Global a subsidiary of MSIP (Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning) of Republic of (South) Korea and helping out Korean entrepreneurs and their startups to seed, develop, pivot and succeed in a global market. I will deliver this presentation on 18 December 2013 in Seoul, South Korea. Please leave your feedback; I am very open to constructive criticism.
2. “A legendary hero is usually the founder of
something—the founder of a new age, the founder of
a new religion, the founder of a new city, the founder
of a new way of life. In order to found something
new, one has to leave the old and go on a quest of the
seed idea, a germinal idea that will have the potential
of bringing forth that new thing.”
-- Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces
3. Creates the New Economy
Virtual products and services increasing in availability as well as use

4. Arms the Founder
Mind
Software
The capability of exploiting change as a constant
A tool that changes readily and rapidly
Limitless artificial commodity resource
Machiavellian Luck
Where skill and opportunity meet
6. Engine of
Productivity & Advantage
“If you can measure it, you can improve it.”
-- Peter Drucker
Geared to do anything the engineer seeks
Key to success for any business bold enough
7. True Global Equalizer
Established, big businesses
Focus on execution of existing products/services
Profit-driven
Tools crafted in Steel & Silicon Ages
Compete everywhere
New ventures/start-ups
Focused on and pivoting with “the search”
Growth-driven
Tools crafted as needed; agile
Compete anywhere
The next Google, Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Facebook could be right in this room
8. Opportunities Abound
Same software and processes available to
existing software giants
Yet major innovations stem from start-ups
Start-ups have rewritten our daily lives in
business and at home
Software is David’s stone to Goliath’s big, established business.
9. Opportunities Abound
Growing rift between “enterprise software”
and “open source/standard software”
Focus on mobile/social/analytics to “anyware”
Traditional yielding to modern agile
Software does not “rust”
IBM & Amazon use software to reinvent itself
10. Culture Mitigates Risk
Know that software can do anything
Willing to take the risk to deliver innovation
Tailored to
Modern engineer / consumer (work/home)
Anyone can do it
Accept change as only constant
11. Software as THE Key
… to innovation success …
Consumers & Employees
want their lives made easier
Businesses want to increase
profits
Exploit agile development to
craft software to deliver
