Voice Of The Customer (VOC)
64
In 1994, the director of Corporate New
Ventures at Procter & Gamble asked the right
question …
“There has got to be a better way to clean a
floor. Current mops are the cleaning
equivalent of the horse drawn carriage –
where’s the car?”
65
A team of ethnographic researchers set out to watch how
people cleaned their kitchen floors, and they discovered …
• Most people swept their floors before they mopped
• People assemble a system of largely unbranded products to
get the job done
• Mops worked mostly by the adhesion of dirt to the mop and
people seemed to spend almost as much time rinsing their mop
as they did cleaning the floor
• People wore old clothes when they were cleaning because it
was a dirty job
Voice Of The Customer (VOC)
Source: Webrtcworld
66
They reviewed the videos back at the office and
arrived at their epiphany moment …
• Half of the steps related to cleaning the floor
• Half of the steps related to cleaning the mop

Infrastructure Innovation
Infrastructure leaders believe that constant innovation represents their only chance of
meeting user expectations and business demands within budgetary constraints.
• Deploy a consistent technology platform, rather than stitching together a jumble of
legacy systems
• Cloud Computing – private, public, virtual, platform services
• Data Access & Analytics – low cost storage, platform services for crunching massive
structured and unstructured data
• Unified Communications – voice, video, email, chat
• Mobility – provide ease of use for BYOD (phone, tablets, laptops, etc.)

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Thanks for attending the conference today. Sponsors Speakers And thanks for attending this session … Some of us hear the terms collaboration and innovation and immediately think of technology. We need some type of technology get from where we are to innovation Many times, technology is the last thing you need NOT the first Some of us hear the terms collaboration and innovation and immediately think of a framework. We need to get organized We need structure If you get nothing else out of this presentation, know this … COLLABORATION & INNOVATION is a very PERSONAL topic * egos, personalities, emotions, baggage from past experiences … Focus: Personal & Business
  2. I think we can all agree; today’s business environment is challenging. This is one of the most popular images that depicts not only our personal connections; but also those of our businesses. The rotary or push button phone has been replaced Email has been supplanted with FB, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. IM and Texting is common place The water cooler has been supplanted by Video Conferencing (Skype, Lync, FaceTime) Document Sharing now takes place via the Cloud (OneDrive, Google Drive, Apple Drive) How we manage our personal lives and the tools we use for our businesses are blending together. We use our phone for personal and business We use our laptops for personal and business We use our cloud storage for personal and business The way we work and play is changing; this change means that our businesses also need to change. Our expectations are changing Our tools are changing Our experiences are changing There’s two sides to every coin; you either WAIT for things to happen and pass you buy or you engage and MAKE things happen!
  3. Technology can be used to open new doors to opportunities Does your business need the ability to integrate with our technologies access key information via mobile devices personalize experiences, content, etc for each employee or client extend your business on a seasonal or demand basis connect with your clients, partners, customers, etc. The challenge then is to build your apps to work on mobile devices to reach the broader audiences move your key customer facing services to the cloud to connect across geographic boundaries install those sensors in your stores, appliances, vehicles, etc so you can track and then notify key players in the supply chain as events occur
  4. On a local and global scale, the consensus is that Innovation is a focus of both CEO’s and CIO’s. 90% of top executive in 2013 – top strategic priority 72% of CEOs in 2010 – 1 of the top 3 strategic priorities It’s a priority. So, why aren’t more businesses considered innovative ?
  5. Innovation is a focus of both CEO’s and CIO’s. It’s a priority. SHOW OF HANDS - HOW MANY OF YOU CONSIDER YOUR BUSINESS AS BEING INNOVATIVE ? So, the burning question after reviewing this slide … what makes up the other 34% ? And, why aren’t more businesses considered innovative ? IF YOU HAVE A BEATING HEART AND HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THE SUCCESS OF YOUR BUSINESS, YOU NEED TO BE ENGAGED IN THE INNOVATION PROCESS AT THAT BUSINESS
  6. There are many barriers or struggles within businesses that prevent them from truly becoming an organization of innovation.
  7. 2012 Survey
  8. With your attendance today, you are sending a message to all of us That you are part of the solution NOT the problem That you think in terms of ½ FULL NOT ½ empty
  9. Change … “the one certainty in this life” The industry is ruthless We continue to define and refine the “normal” In other words, standing still is not an option History In my 30 years in IT, I have witnessed this time and time again. Traditional systems, processes, technologies, devices, etc. become outdated and replaced with new, better, faster and cheaper options. The main difference between then and now is that the speed of change is accelerating. If your business is to be competitive in the world economy, it must exude a culture of “OPEN INNOVATION”
  10. For the bulk of this presentation, we will examine the … The Basics of Innovation …
  11. Tony Robbins, is well known in the business world for his motivational series on the 7 Forces of Business Mastery. I like his definition of innovation; it actually sums up the challenge of innovation very well. Let’s unpack it new and better, similar to New and Improved, is subjective meet may mean to EXCEED depending on your market segment, target audience, or the gap from here to “1st place” you need to know your client or clients
  12. At it’s core, innovation is problem solving We have seen this cycle many times. Identify the Problem Do the analysis Develop Implement Evaluate And continue the cycle Have you ever solved a problem? Then you are an innovator. So, Innovation involves Problem Solving AND so much more
  13. Misconceptions … We could also expand on this list by taking any of those 16 Barriers to Innovation a few slides back and refute each of them
  14. Innovation is at the center of 3 other great facets Invention Creating some new or different Entrepreneurship Passion with a purpose Collaboration Influencing and being Influenced The larger the intersection, the larger the potential impact of innovation More people creating new or different ideas More people passionate about their purpose More people influencing and being influenced But don’t hear me wrong … more of everything here does not guarantee success.
  15. Who knew they needed an iPhone 10 years ago Who knew you needed those pair of shoes or the shirt on your back 5 years ago Who knew I was going to switch from an iPhone to Samsung Who knew that I had too many remotes for my TV and needed an app for my phone to control my TV & DVR Who knew …
  16. Innovation requires Collaboration from a variety of sources Management Provides the oversight, funding and the vision Employees Those that know the topic (whatever it is) best, can provide the best insight Partners Those businesses that share the same need for improvement that you do Experts Those that provide another perspective outside the normal flow of your business Innovation is about working better together … AND so much more.
  17. I have a few questions for you to think about How does your business communicate it’s mission & vision Thru Words, Actions or Both Do you understand WHY your business is a business What problems is your business trying to solve Is this common knowledge at your business Does the culture of your business support innovation Is failure OK at your business OR is failure encouraged and expected Do you celebrate innovation OR How do you celebrate innovation Does your business allow, encourage or expect you to attend webinars, conferences and user groups Does management see these opportunities as an Expense or something that can provide Value Innovation is about effectively communicating your mission & vision … AND so much more.
  18. So, your CEO & CIO came to you and said we need to innovate. I need you to build a better light bulb. With the information, I just provided to you … write down your ideas on how you would build a better bulb. I have found that the best presentations are those with active participants So … Your challenge during the rest of this hour is … to build a better light bulb Write down your ideas on how you would build a better light bulb We will come back to this challenge throughout the presentation
  19. Innovation is about relevancy a camera zoom lens that really is a coffee cup this describes something about the person this would also spur conversations with others with similar interests a product or service sells because the client/customer identifies with it’s (views, beliefs, interests, etc.) Innovation is messy you have to be willing to struggle with failure, ideas, our perceptions and ideals and so much more from our history along with the confusion, there is often a variety of pains; don‘t lose heart, embrace the pain and learn to redirect the energy to produce results Innovation is customer focused identify your target audience persona what are their demographics, etc Innovation is being creative this is the toughest area of the innovation process this is one of the most misunderstood areas of the process Innovation is being a rebel rebel does not mean destructive rather, rebel means that we have to cross over the line of comfort to the wild side
  20. The truth about Disruptive Innovation is that it may cannibalize existing products or services. EXAMPLE… Kodak invented the digital camera. It didn’t commercialize this invention because it wanted to protect its film business. The Company had what I call the “FDH” syndrome. It was Fat, Dumb, and Happy with its success in film. It looked backward instead of forward. As Bill Gates is fond of saying, “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.” To be innovative, you cannot be afraid to obsolete your own products. If you are, others will obsolete them for you. That is what happened to Kodak and many others.
  21. Grace, a Harvard student, has a mission to disrupt the cosmetic industry. To provide the ability for every girl and women to select any color and easily print that makeup on an affordable printer.
  22. Incremental is about improving a product, service or process in increments based on long hanging fruit or ROI. ie; Product Adoption Life Cycle providing the features and functionality over a series of phases moving clients/customers from awareness, understanding, usage, value and finally to evangelist The iPhone and vehicle models are great examples
  23. There are 2 certainties in business … Change is difficult Not changing is fatal ‘Business as usual is no longer usual’ It’s like a business being trapped between a rock and a hard place.
  24. NOT a good picture of a business though may be all too familiar For too many businesses, this picture is all too familiar. Business as usual should not be the norm. Business Symptoms of “Business as Usual” Employees who are simply putting in their time for a pay check 9-5 and then home Disengaged Employees Waiting for the next great idea to run over your business should not be acceptable.
  25. Rather, I would argue that this is a BETTER picture of the future of business. Understanding where you have been Understanding where you area And, keeping your senses open and aware will keep your Business as Unusual BUT THE CULTURE NEEDS TO BE RECEPTIVE TO THIS - WHO IS WILLING TO STICK OUT THEIR NECK AND RISK IT 5 A’s - Alert - Aware - Anticipating - Aggressive - Agile
  26. We need to innovate because … … our competition keeps evolving and changing Clients/Customers have new demands of products, services, experiences, etc. The world is changing The scope of your competition is changing Summary: New technologies and competitors are hitting the market place faster than ever. Your success requires an understanding of how much uncertainty you face and the ability to manage those uncertainties in new ways.
  27. We need to innovate because … … technology keeps improving and changing
  28. We need to innovate because … … how we connect is changing

  32. What’s interesting to note about this tale of two businesses is … - That in 2000, Reed Hastings, the founder of a fledgling company called Netflix, flew to Dallas to propose a partnership to Blockbuster CEO John Antioco and his team.  The idea was that Netflix would run Blockbuster’s brand online and Antioco’s firm would promote Netflix in its stores.  Hastings got laughed out of the room.
