Companies today face unique challengesCompanies today face unique challenges
1. Global recessionary slowdown
2. Change in mix of profile of growth markets—from mature to emerging markets
3. Demographic challenges in mature markets—capacity constraints
4. Rapidly changing technologies—growth of electronics, alternate fuels, application of nano materials, etc.
5. Cautious capital environment (leading to unique business models)
6. Focus on increase in R&D efficiency
7. Emergence of paradigm changing low cost competitors

Open Innovation
Mobility of Labor
Growing Cost PressuresEmergence of New Collaboration Tools
Faster Product Cycles
Drivers of Open Innovation
Availability of Venture Capital Increasingly Sophisticated Customers
� Innovation increasingly expensive as product complexity increases
� Increasing availability of product information to end users
� Consumers demanding more innovation and product improvements
� Shorter time to market as new technologies / processes introduced
� Growing number of product variations to meet diverse consumer needs
� Difficult for companies to contain knowledge within the organization
� Can leverage overseas labor to minimize costs and grow talent pool
� Enable individuals and small companies to commercialize innovative ideas
� Rewards risk-taking innovations
� Internet and other digital tools enable multiparty / cross-border collaboration
� Consumers feedback more efficiently captured via the web

Curve
� The innovation effectiveness curve is an intrinsic characteristic of the portfolios value of innovation and future growth prospects
� The Innovation Effectiveness Curve can be drawn by plotting the return for each innovation project against annual project spend
� Area under the curve is the total return on innovation investments
� The larger area under the curve, the greater the firm’s returns on innovation investments
� The length of the “tail” indicates low return projects
� Portfolio “workout” should include review of current projects with:
(1) initial business assumptions
(2) realistic scenarios looking forward
