What’s UP with IBM? University Programs


Most people say, “IBM makes computers”


Those in-the-know say, “IBM is helping to build a Smarter Planet…”


A Smarter Planet is built from smarter service systems…

INSTRUMENTED INTERCONNECTED INTELLIGENT
We now have the ability People, systems and We can respond to changes
to measure, sense and objects can communicate quickly and accurately,
see the exact condition and interact with each and get better results
of practically everything. other in entirely new ways. by predicting and optimizing
for future events.

A city is essentially a
system of service
systems—
transportation, healthc
are, public safety and
education.

To enable a Smarter
City, IBM is working to
improve the quality &
efficiency of service
systems and how they
operate and function.

A Framework for Global Civil Society

 Daniel Patrick Moynihan said nearly 50 years ago: "If you want to
build a world class city, build a great university and wait 200
years." His insight is true today – except yesterday's 200 years
has become twenty. More than ever, universities will generate and
sustain the world’s idea capitals and, as vital
creators, incubators, connectors, and channels of thought and
understanding, they will provide a framework for global civil
society.

Measuring Impact

 SSME: IBM Icon of Progress & IBM Research Outstanding Accomplishment
– Internal 10x return: CBM, IDG, SDM Pricing & Costing, BIW COBRA, SIMPLE, IoFT, Fringe, VCR
• Key was tools to model customers & IBM better
• Also tools to shift routine physical, mental, interactional & identify synergistic new ventures
• Alignment with Smarter Planet & Analytics (instrumented, interconnected, intelligent)
• Alignment with Smarter Cities, Smarter Campus, Smarter Buildings (Holistic Service Systems)
– External: More than $1B in national investments in Service Innovation activities
– External: Increase conferences, journals, and publications
– External: Service Science SIGs in Professional Associations
– External: Course & Program Guidelines for T-shaped Professionals, 500+ institutions
– External: National Service Science Institutions, Books & Case Studies (Open Services Innovation)

 Service Research, a Portfolio Approach
– 1. Improve existing offerings (value propositions that can move the needle on KPI’s)
– 2. Create new offerings (for old and new customers)
– 3. Improve outcomes insourcing, outsourcing, acquisitions, divestitures (interconnect-fission-fusion)
– 4. For all three of the above, improve customer/partner capabilities (ratchet each other up)
– 5. For all four of the above, increase patents and service IP assets (some donated to open forums)
– 6. For all five of the above, increase publications and body-of-knowledge (professional associations)
