42 Trends in innovation Digitalization of everyting Computing power is everywhere Bandwidth and connectivity for everyone Innovations as building blocks Recombinant growth Innovation capacity = capacity to test out new combinations of ideas and innovations

43 "No matter who you are, most of the smartest people work for someone else Bill Joy, Sun Microsystems

44 Foldit game leads to AIDS research breakthrough In a matter of 10 days, gamers were able to do what biochemists have been trying to do for a decade: decipher the structure of a protein called retroviral protease, an enzyme that is key to the way HIV multiplies. Slide 47

45 With more eyeballs, more powerful combinations will be found From the book The Second Machine Age by Brynjolfsson, McAfee

46 So What Is Innovation All About?

47 It is not only about developing new products and services Innovation? New value creation, not new creations

48 Innovation has many shapes Market impact Disruptive, Game changing Uber Self-driving cars Sustaining Volvo XC 90 (SUV) Tesla Incremental Radical Product impact

49 Innovation has many shapes examples at Apple Market impact Disruptive, Game changing Itunes IPhone and Appstore Sustaining IMac IPod Incremental Radical Product impact

50 We need a broader view on innovation Eco-system Innovations WHAT? Traditional value creation Offering Innovations WHERE? Operational Innovations WHO? Customer Innovations HOW? New areas for value creation Based on Innovation Radar

51 You need to improve your Innovation Management skills! Innovation strategy Organisation & Leadership & Culture Innovation processes Slide 56

52 The Management Challenge? Execute! Operational strategy Search & Learn! Innovation strategy 57 Day-to-day Operations Organisation Leadership & Culture Production of Goods and Services Value creation which delights customers Innovation processes

53 Innovation requires collaboration and co-creation!

54 Demand and use of innovations is essential for national growth! Buy things that do not exist = innovation procurement Co-creation in value chains

55 We need to balance the production of knowledge and technology with the import of it! The ability to import and apply externally developed knowledge and technology is key to innovation driven growth!

56 The strategic management of intellectual assets needs to be improved! Its role in innovation processes Its role as a tool for value creation

57 We need more chefs in the research

58 To sum up... Focus on growth rather than on birth and survival of ventures Have a broad view on innovation to drive business renewal Stimulate collaboration and co-creation to drive innovation Stimulate value creation driven management of intellectual assets Promote more Chefs in the research
