A sad statistic
Proportion of New Businesses
Founded in 1992 Still Alive By Year.     Most startup failures are
                                         due to running out of
                                         money before having the
                                         right product

The following slides were built with
       software engineering in mind
Software engineering is
• Highly creative
• Very interdependant on coworkers
• Loosely coupled


In short, it is like many other startup functions
•   Marketing
•   PR/Communication
•   Business Development
•   Product design

      The learning from Software Engineering
      have been applied to broader fields
The longer the project, the likelier the
               failure
….because it is the less clear what
                                             success looks like …

(we do not always know what the customer will look like)
Project (and startup) management can be
                 like this
Inefficient way of working
The « break-down and specialize »
management method leads to many wastes:




Stock of useless functionalities,   High cost of coordination
documentation                       and communication
Agility proposes a different management
              paradigm…
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan

Agile way of delivering
 The Scrum process
Fail fast, fail early
• As we are delivering fast, we can harvest
  positive and negative feedbacks

• As we accept changes, we can take into
  account these feedbacks and adapt our plans

• Feedback is more precious than perfection
Tips to accelerate failure (or
                  success)
 • Instead of building a full product or
   service, prototype it

 • There are several prototype types:

  5. Welcome/ thanks [to be localised to event theme, host and guests] Over the last few years, governments around the world facing the recent economic crisis, have been exploring ways to better turn large investment in public research into new and better services and products, toremain competitive. Innovation has turned into a buzzword, but it’s essential to both near term and long term success, for every economy, industry sector and business, every government, community and individual.In this presentation aims I will present the contribution of Microsoft to innovation in Europe. Firstly by looking at our R&amp;D assets in the region which allow us to better serve European customers. Secondly by showing you our support to ‘innovators’, researchers, entrepreneurs and future generations in Europe.Illustrations:Two researchers of the Computer Mediated Living Group, Microsoft Research, CambridgeNetwork connections in a data centreSoftware design first place winners of 2011 Imagine Cup, team HermesRoger Needham Building, Microsoft Research, CambridgeAndrew Philips, Research, Computational Biology Group, Microsoft ResearchDigital Heirloom project, Microsoft ResearchTwo researchers of the Computer Mediated Living Group, Microsoft Research, CambridgeScreenshot of the Eye on Earth website, a partnership between Microsoft and the Europe Environment AgencyTwo research of the Programming Principle and Tools group, Microsoft Research, CambridgeEuropean flag
  6. This maps shows you our basic and applied research centres in Cambridge and Aachen. Our development centres in Austria,Denmark,France,Germany, Ireland,Norway,Poland, Portugal,Romania,Serbia and theUnited Kingdom. And our joint research centres and innovation centres across Europe.In the next slides we’ll look more closely at some of them, starting with Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK.
  7. From killer apps to technology maturityHistorically a software innovation unlocks new potential, but it takes a first “killer app” to drive adoption and further development of the innovation to maturity. When something new comes along, end-users drive adoption if there is a clear benefit to using it. Technology phases build on each other, and recently they are happening faster.  PhasesDOS (1981-1995)Last version of DOS as a separate program shipped with Windows 95Apps: Spreadsheets, word processorsGUI (1985-present)Windows 1.0 in 1985Apps: Desktop publishing, multimediaInternet (1993-present)Mosaic launched 1993, Netscape Navigator launched 1994, IE 1.0 and 2.0 launched 1995Apps: Email, web browsersClient + Cloud (2006 - present)In 2006, Amazon launched its Elastic Compute cloud (EC2) as a commercial web service, the first widely accessible cloud computing infrastructure serviceApps: Location-based apps, social networksNUI (2012 – present)Manycore processors ship in 2012Apps: Not sure, but they will be human-centric and immersive Apps like social networking and mobile location-based applications are driving the development of client+cloud. Natural user interfaces and the first killer apps for that technology will take off around 2012, when manycore desktop machines arrive on the market.  We are on the verge of a transformation of the roles computers play in our lives, and how we interact with them. How do our computing systems need to evolve?
  8. A series of technology trends is leading to rapid progress and change in the technology we use at home, which in turn is influencing how we expect to use technology for work and driving the consumerisation of IT. As these technology trends converge with social and business trends, the role that technology plays throughout our lives will continue to evolve.The computing ecosystem. Our view of what defines a computer is changing as previously “unintelligent” objects are gaining intelligence, becoming connected, and joining the ecosystem of computing. We are entering the era of an “Internet of things” in which almost any object can be connected to the Internet and collect data that contributes to a global web of knowledge. Virtually every type of product is becoming part of the computing ecosystem—from cars, phones, and houses to scales, cameras, power meters, and televisions. Many of the computers you’ll interact with in the future will be in devices that we don’t think of as computers today. In effect, computing is becoming increasingly invisible.The explosion of data. The immense number of digital devices in our world is driving an explosion in data. Deep analysis of this vast amount of data is enabling computers to begin to understand the physical world and to behave in a more human way, anticipating our needs and understanding our intentions.Natural interaction. More natural ways to interact with technology are rapidly emerging—multitouch, voice, vision, gestures, and many more. This means that for the first time, computing will adapt to us and demonstrate some degree of “intelligence.” This trend will see computers shift from being tools to being helpers, performing tasks on our behalf based on an awareness of the environments we are in and the context of our actions. Ultimately, this will enable computing interfaces that are far more natural and increasingly simple to use, helping eliminate the learning curve of today’s technology.Pervasive displays. New display technologies will give rise to displays that are light, portable, flexible and cheap. We’ll carry a screen around with us as easily as we carry a magazine today, and we’ll take for granted the fact that screens are embedded wherever they might be useful—whether we’re at home, at work, on the move, or in public spaces. And ubiquitous connectivity will automatically link our information to those screens when we want to use them.Social computing. Social computing has already changed how we create and maintain our connections with others. But the world of social computing remains highly fragmented. The lack of integration creates frustrating disconnects that are inevitable when we are forced to switch between services and applications to stay up to date. Social computing will undergo a dramatic transformation as technology advances make it possible to weave our social lives more deeply and more seamlessly into every aspect of our digital lives, so that information from our social networks can provide insights to guide us in the real world and online. Social networking itself will also change, becoming far more visual and less text-centric.Cloud computing. With its massive data centers, cloud computing delivers virtually infinite resources, providing the storage capacity and processing power to tackle some of the world’s toughest problems in healthcare, the environment, energy, scientific discovery, and many other fields. A hub for all data and information, it will enable us to capture, store, index, parse, and recall as much of our day-to-day lives as we choose to share. It will also provide a platform for orchestrating the flow of information and technology across our lives so that we always have instant access to the tools and information that we need. Fundamental breakthroughs in massively parallel computing will enable us to see patterns in data that can make actionable intelligence more prevalent.Ubiquitous connectivity. Increasingly we will be connected at all times to people, information, services and applications without requiring any specific action on our part. This will liberate the information that we have created ourselves and unlock any information from any source that might be relevant to where we are and what we are trying to accomplish, bringing everything we need together seamlessly in the form that is most useful.
  9. Today, Microsoft offers a breadth of platforms from phone to PC to web, as well as a cloud platform spanning these experiences. Microsoft’s vibrant partner ecosystem of over 700,000 partners who deliver products and services to consumers and enterprises of all types based on these platforms. My team’s work focuses on cultivating relationships with Microsoft’s next generation of partners – startups and entrepreneurs.
  10. For businesses, however large or small, cloud computing significantly reduces capital expenditure in hardware and IT support and brings flexibility and scalability of IT services.According to a survey of the European Network and Information Security Agency, 68% of the 72 companies who responded would engage in cloud computing to avoid capital expenditure in hardware and IT support, 63% for the flexibility and scalability of IT resources. [1]For small businesses, cloud computing bring state of the art IT services of a type that used only be available to the largest corporate or government users. This means in particular the small businesses can now offer services to large customers they were not able to reach before because their IT infrastructure was to small to cope with the requirement of those large customers.Companies can also use cloud computing to accelerate the experimentation cycle and improve time-to-market for their products by deploying online solution in days rather than months. [2]Often the costs and time required to test a new product or service or try a new way of engaging customers are so prohibitive they discourage companies from even trying them. But cloud computing offers an inexpensive and flexible way to deploy the infrastructure as needed to test ideas. The technology can be used internally and externally with cloud services. It is challenging the mind-set that innovative market responses always require long lead times and a lot of money.According a recent report published by Microsoft Ireland “the full potential of cloud computing lies in innovative new services that are being developed and delivered using cloud computing. These include: business functions and services that are currently carried out in house or procured from specialist consultants; social networking services; multiplayer games; and, gaming products.” [3]Examples of innovativeSMEs using Cloud Computing:Many examples of SMEs innovating using the Cloud can be found at:http://www.microsoft.eu/CaseStudies/Home.aspxSources:[1] Survey – An SME perspective on Cloud Computing, November 2009http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/rm/files/deliverables/cloud-computing-sme-survey[2] 10 Minutes on the Cloud,PricewaterhouseCoopers, June 2010http://www.pwc.com/us/en/10minutes/cloud-computing.jhtml[3] ‘Ireland’s Competitiveness &amp; Jobs Opportunity: Cloud Computing’, Goodbody Economic Consultants, January 2011.http://www.microsoft.com/ireland/cloudreport/Explaining the economy of scale:Cloud economies of scale are stronger than commonly understood, leading to very strong first mover advantages and high barriers to entry. There are also, of course, very few organisations with the wherewithal (technical and financial) to run public data-centres of the scale (100k+) needed to reach optimum efficiency. At massive scale, the cloud provider is able to negotiate steep discounts with its hardware, power and bandwidth providers which further secures its advantages. When 100k+ machines are on order, hardware providers will tailor everything from their hardware designs to their support capabilities to win business. Not only does the cloud provider require huge bandwidth today but it’s in a position to secure long-term contracts on such bandwidth with providers strong financial incentives to the bandwidth provider. The economics of scale continue. A public cloud provider is able to pool demand from a diverse customer base. Customers in different businesses require peak computing loads at different times. Customers across different industries are discordant with some industries experiencing peak demand in the Winter (e.g., retailers) while others experience peak demand in the Summer (e.g., energy companies in Texas). Customers in different time zones across the world are ‘awake’ at different times. The public cloud provider can dramatically increase the utilisation of its hardware by multiplexing across a range of these customers and to a far greater extent than a provider to a single business.Lastly, through extensive automation and the ability to run fewer applications for many customers, the labour costs in a data-centre become a very small proportion of overall costs. In a contemporary on-premises data-centre an IT person may be able to manage 100 machines. In a public cloud data-centre, one person needs to support 1,000s of machines.
  11. Why entrepreneurship mattersThat’s not insignificant, and today we’re starting to see more and more businesses reap the rewards of this cooperative approach. The Kauffman Foundation is one of the largest foundations in the United States, and the world’s largest foundations devoted to entrepreneurship. Their mission is to help individuals attain economic independence by advancing educational achievement and entrepreneurial success, realized this years ago, and have done more to spur and support entrepreneurism than possibly any other organization in existence. That’s why they are an important partner in the network.
  12. Entrepreneurs play a vital role in driving innovation and creating the kinds of new jobs that are essential to sustainable economic growth.Microsoft BizSpark is an exciting way for Microsoft to help provide business startups with the development tools, advice and exposure they need at a time when they are most valuable and least affordable—during the first three years.Eligibility: --Members are sponsored by a network partner– privately held, in a software business for less than 3 years and with less than $1M in revenues (country-level varients of less than USD $1M apply)--no costs for the first three years of the program. --Microsoft will assess a USD$100 program offering fee at the end of participation in the programSoftware:All the software included in the Visual Studio Team System Team Suite (VSTS) with MSDN Premium subscription– for the entire development teamExpression Studio (Version 2)VSTS Team Foundation Server (Standard Edition)Production License use rights to host a “software as a service” solution over the Internet, using the following platforms: Windows Server (all versions); SQL Server (all versions); Office SharePoint Server; Systems Center, and BizTalk Server.SuportVisibility:VisibilityStartups will have the opportunity be profiled and promoted on the BizsparkDB, an online startup directory, where Microsoft will promote promising startups to an audience of potential investors, clients, and partnersOutcomes of BizSpark :Creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem among three groups: high-potential technology startups, entrepreneurial and economic development organizations (a.k.a.

  14. Working with large companies like MSFT can be very rewarding
  15. It can also be problematic. Like the whale in this story, a large company has its means of navigation and behaviour and it’s best to understand them very well
