September 25th, the Ambassadors of Innovation network convened at the Philips Museum in Eindhoven. Philips Innovation Services, Industry Consulting, hosted the meeting with 45 participants from inside and outside Philips.
Topic of this network event was Product and Business Architectures.
- Paul Hissel, Senior Consultant at Industry Consulting kicked off, moving into the reasons why architectures for products and businesses are becoming more important. Speed, complexity and variety drive the business and product architectures can accommodate that.
- Menno de Jonge, Innovation Manager at Ballast Nedam continued with his presentation on modular structures Ballast Nedam is using, e.g. to build housing modules in factory settings, to build, disassemble and reassemble parking garages and even football stadiums for the 2022 World Cup.
- Leon van de Pas, General Manager Connected Lamps at Philips Lighting then presented how the hue lighting system is built up and how it has become such as success, e.g. by using the Apple store to launch and an open API which engaged more than 10,000 developers world wide.
Participants had the opportunity to write down questions for each of the presenters, and after some clustering these were discussed in a forum setting to close off the formal part. Then the networking continued in the Philips Museum café.

8. What is happening in today’s business environments ?
- speed
• Speed (time to market) is becoming more and more a competitive edge
– latest technology (performance)
– latest (lowest) cost level
– latest features
• shorter life cycles
• new value spaces, business models, value networks (changing the rules
of the game)
• fast technology evolution
• global and fast moving competition
• new standards & regulations (fast follow up)
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

9. What is happening in today’s business environments ?
Philips perspective
- complexity
• Products using key components which are systems in itself
– Microcontrollers
– Embedded signal processing
– User interface panels, electronic power supplies
• Products becoming connected
– Product to product
– Product to ‘the cloud’
•
•
•
•
Diagnostic systems (MR, X-Ray, …)
Lighting systems (City Touch, Hue, …)
Software, upgrades, extensions, interfaces
… and data services based on third party systems and subsystems
– The Cloud, telecom networks and storage
– General purpose computing platforms
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

10. What is happening in today’s business environments ?
Philips perspective
- complexity
• Philips becoming an integration company
–
–
–
–
–
Selected technology developments
Open Innovation, ODM, OEM
No way of owning, managing and knowing everything yourself
Partnering, licensing: BoL (Bill of Licences) in addition to BoM (Bill of Material)
Dependency on others, eco-systems, lock-in, control points: risks
• Moving up in the value chain
– Recurring revenues
– From products to systems, services and solutions
• Products becoming connected
– Internet of things, Big data
– entering the world of: Apps, mobility, security, privacy, new business models,
new Control Points and multi-party businesses, etc.
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

11. Impact on a business?
• Diminishing returns… saturating (high) market shares no longer justify
increasing investments in new products with shorter lifecycles
• R&D cost (people) becoming a dominant factor (beyond BoM)
• Independent lifecycles of components, subsystems, products, systems
• constant need for adaptations (costs, resources, time)
• increased complexity to be managed (SKU’s, phase in/out)
• lower efficiency (shorter life cycles, lower Economy of Scale) & profitability
• disturbances / problems in the supply chain and operations
• lagging performance, Time to Market & flexibility
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

12. Needs from a business point of view?
•
•
•
•
•
•
integral solution: taking care of all requirements & constraints
decomposition in manageable parts
balanced trade-off’s and integral optimization
leveraging of all opportunities (suppliers, technologies, intern/extern)
keeping this consistent over time (managing the impact of the dynamics)
for the whole “system”
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013
6
13. And this is where “system architecture” comes in…
• defines the technical structure of a system:
- the functional decomposition and physical partitioning in sub-systems
and the specification of the interfaces
- the underlying technology choices
- the principles & guidelines governing the implementation and evolution
over time
in order to cover all requirements and stakeholder purposes.
• covering many aspects like:
- costs
- performance & quality
- Time To Market
- Supply Chain performance
- warranty, service
- compliance
- Business Control Points …….
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

14. Platform
• a set of building blocks & standardised interfaces compliant with a defined
reference architecture, that forms a common structure from which a
stream of derivative products can be efficiently developed and produced.
• a platform consists of strategically motivated and operationally coordinated
modular product and process architectures, designed to create specific
forms of strategic flexibility for achieving a defined set of business goals.
• including:
- management of the range & variation over time
- technology evolution
- new supply options
- coherence over time
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

15. architecture capabilities
• market coverage
• alignment
• anticipation
• external development
• performance
• standardization
capability to efficiently develop & produce
product variants to cover effectively the
segmentation and opportunities in the market:
initially and over time
capability enabling an optimal fit with the
organization / operations to guarantee solid
performance and cost effective execution
built-in capability to react or adapt to future:
changes / opportunities / uncertainties
by keeping certain options open
capability to embed superior capabilities
(innovation, development, production) of
suppliers in the product architecture, taking
care of technical & organizational decoupling
and maintaining control
capability to realize the required functionality,
performance and robustness and costs
capability to leverage the benefits of internal
or external standardization: e.g. commonality,
re-use, economies of scale, faster TTM,
reduced risks, proven quality
>> architecture capabilities are created “by design”.
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013

16. System Architecture ensures:
• a feasible solution covering all stakeholder requirements
• tuning with the business strategy, - technology and – organization from
the start
• integration of: business, market, application, product, design, technology,
industrial and financial aspects in one solution and a set of architecture
capabilities
• pro-active addressing of uncertainties (market, technology, availability)
and opportunities (options to be kept open)
• a roadmap and platform view towards future business
• support by a structured approach and a solid business case
and decision trajectory
Ambassadors Event, Innovation Management, September 2013
10
17. So, who in the business will take care of this ?
• functional focus: insufficient in most cases
• role for the “system architect”
- not only about a technical solution
- but an integral solution for the business in line with the business strategy
- including the management of:
speed
flexibility
uncertainties
complexity
costs
coherence over time
