Impresa & Finanza - Dalle new venture alle imprese mature - ALEP 2016Nuvolab
Intervento del nostro CEO, Francesco Inguscio, durante il ritrovo 2016 di ALEP (Associazione Laureati Economia di Padova), tenutosi a Padova (PD) il 11/03/2016 e volto ad ispirare i giovani laureati e laureandi di Economia. Speriamo di esserci riusciti.. :)
This document provides definitions for key terms related to innovation:
- Creativity is the ability to generate ideas that have value.
- Invention is the discovery of something new.
- Innovation is transforming ideas and inventions into tangible forms that create value.
- Systemic innovation refers to structured, sustainable, and permanent innovation practices.
It also contrasts operating (doing things right) with innovating (doing right things). While both are needed, innovation involves undefined steps, multiple routes and results, and cross-functional teams. Reworking is seen as part of the learning process in innovation.
Reasons provided to innovate include that operational excellence alone is no longer sufficient, innovation enables new
After 2013, UM invited us in 2014 again to organize a joined #BMGen workshop. We developed and discussed business model prototypes of companies who will lead, in our opinion, radical change in the next five years.
- How will Apple's iWatch & HealthBook affect healthcare
- How will Tesla and Google SelfDriving Car influence the car industry
- How will Amazon and Alibaba change eCommerce and Logistics
- How will Zalando & Co disrupt Fashion and Retail
Thanks to all participants. The industry diversity and openness were great ingredients for a vibrant session. Therefore, special thanks Sven Weissbrich and UM for our partnership and organizing and inviting us all!
The document summarizes lessons on innovation from interviews with 12 global innovators. It finds that defining innovation, embracing internal innovation to cut costs, shifting from problem-solving to problem-defining, and having an innovation team play facilitator and incubator roles are keys to success. The innovation team's role varies by organization, from facilitating others' innovation to incubating ideas themselves. Innovators need creativity, open-mindedness, and teamwork skills.
The key concept in any start-up? The freedom to experiment as basis for accelerated learning. Or like Pink Floyd sang in the 70’s: “We don’t need no education.” Is your FabLab ready for it?
1. Ray Kurzweil predicted that the rate of technological change in the 21st century will far exceed that of the 20th century.
2. The document discusses how globalization, information technology, and the need for innovation are forcing companies to adopt more collaborative and innovative business strategies to survive.
3. Barriers to innovation within companies include an unwillingness to change, rigid management processes, and a short-term focus on quarterly performance over long-term strategies. Embracing innovation through strategic planning, internal collaboration, and global partnerships can help companies adapt to changes in the global marketplace.

Futurethink Innovators Interview Randy Vossrandyvoss
Randy Voss, Senior Manager of Global Strategy and Business Development at Whirlpool, discusses Whirlpool's approach to innovation. He notes that balancing incremental and breakthrough innovation is challenging due to corporations' focus on short-term action over long-term opportunities. Whirlpool manages this balance through a rigorous innovation pipeline and metrics system that evaluates projects on factors like financial requirements. Voss also emphasizes the importance of clearly defining innovation goals and metrics in order to build a successful innovation program.
Yellow Walnut is an Dutch organization promoting and supporting entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. They focus on people on startups beyond proof of market and projects within businesses. During the day we did a training for their GrowthClass (www.growthclass.co), in the evening to hold a 20' keynote to 40 invited guest.
The document discusses embracing failure as an important part of innovation culture. It argues that companies must accept experimentation and the failures that come with trying new things. Failure is defined as occurring when trying something new without knowing ahead of time how to make it successful, rather than from a lack of effort or competence. The document provides perspectives on developing a culture that is constructive about failure, including by using terms like "smartfailing" and viewing failure as a learning opportunity. It also outlines six stages of failure and redemption to help companies move forward productively from failures.
Director Roundtable_Fast Tracking Growth May_15Chris Wright
This document summarizes a roundtable discussion between the director general of the Institute of Directors, Simon Walker, and 12 directors from various small and medium-sized businesses on the topics of growth, challenges, and opportunities in the current business environment. Key points discussed include the role of technology in driving growth, both for disruptive startups and more traditional companies; the need for improved broadband infrastructure in the UK; embracing globalization and accessing talent internationally; the importance of embracing failure and innovation; and how smaller companies can differentiate themselves and gain customers through authenticity, data analysis, and clear communication.
Innovation isn’t the job of R&D or Marketing anymore. Innovation is everyone’s job – but most aren’t trained/experienced in innovation.
Whether you start at "small i" innovation or "BIG I" Innovation - can you really afford NOT to improve your innovation capabilities?
Deloitte Silicon Beach Australian Startup EcosystemDavid Adams
Leaving it in the ground
Imagine a rich seam of minerals under ground. We’ve poked around and we know its there: lots of value
=just waiting to be uncovered. Imagine too that we
also know there is a market, growing larger each month, with an insatiable demand for consuming these treasures. Now, imagine that the people who live around the seam are born with an aptitude for mining. We are a mining country and we know this story well. But, unusually for Australia, we are leaving this seam in the ground untapped.
Even if the commodities boom lasts decades, Australia is in trouble.
In Silicon Valley it took 60 years to create the structural, cultural & financial infrastructure to repeatedly create new billion dollar technology based industries. The problem is, we are wired to think in a linear way. We massively underestimate the long term impact of current technology trends & market shifts impacted by the technology.
Adrian Turner, Author of ‘Blue Sky Mining’
If startups were treated as a natural resource,
people would ask why we’re ‘leaving them in the ground’. Australia can improve at what Adrian Turner calls ‘Blue Sky Mining’ in his book of the same name.
Background
Silicon Beach represents rare research of Australia’s startups to help Australian businesses and governments target their actions to support this vital sector. In 2011, The Startup Genome Project (blog.startupcompass.co) revealed its first set of international findings. Through surveying thousands of startups it looked for patterns which emerged from data-driven analysis. The report revealed new insights which helped the global startup community answer common questions including:
• How much should I be spending at the different growth stages?
• How long does it take?
• How many customers should I have by now?
• Is it this hard for everybody or just me?
“This first Australian Ecosystem Report ‘Silicon Beach’ is a vital contribution to further the awareness of why technology entrepreneurship is important to Australia and where it has room for improvement. It provides much needed perspective as technology entrepreneurship is evolving to become a new fundamental to the Australian economy. The public interest will be increasing and more stakeholders will participate in the Australian startup ecosystem. This report will fuel the public dialogue in order to co-ordinate the necessary dynamics between entrepreneurs, investors, corporate development and policy makers. I want to thank Pollenizer for taking the lead in summoning representatives of each of these groups, Deloitte Private and Startup Genome to create this report.”

This document provides an overview of innovation concepts and frameworks. It discusses definitions of innovation, types of innovation, and conditions that support innovation. Key frameworks covered include open innovation, design thinking, co-creation, social innovation, management 3.0, and knowledge workers as drivers of innovation. The document also outlines pitfalls to avoid in innovation and compares approaches between start-ups and SMEs. Authors that are referenced in relation to different innovation topics are listed at the end.
The document discusses 3M's culture of innovation through examples like the invention of masking tape and Post-it notes. It describes how 3M encourages employees to spend 15% of their time on personal projects, and recognizes innovative employees. While some CEOs tried to increase efficiency, later CEOs rolled back these changes to refocus on innovation through increased R&D budgets.
The document discusses how ideas become projects through a process called lean ideation. It describes the 6 steps of lean ideation as: 1) observe to gather information, 2) question assumptions, 3) conceive new possibilities, 4) present the idea concisely, 5) collaborate by getting feedback, and 6) iterate the idea based on learning. The key is to rapidly test ideas through these steps to determine which have promise before investing significant resources in development. An idea only becomes a project if it survives evaluation and gains champions to move it forward.

Be Competitively Unpredictable! - Make it happen with innovationStefan Lindegaard
Competitively unpredictable: two words that spell the key to success in today’s fast paced, highly competitive business arena. If your company has the ability to consistently outmaneuver the competition in ways they never see coming, then the future is bright.
Why is being competitively unpredictable so essential now? One key reason is the ever-shrinking window of opportunity. In the past decades, depending on your industry, you could count on having three or five or even seven years after bringing something new to market to make good money before you needed to come up with the next new thing to keep revenues growing.
This is no longer the case. While the pace of innovation used to be fast but still manageable, now the window of opportunity is getting shorter and moving faster so you’re forced to innovate ever faster. One of the best examples is the mobile phone industry where they are now counting in months.
Open innovation and business model innovation are key concepts for becoming competitively unpredictable and in this session Stefan Lindegaard shares his views on how companies can embrace these concepts in order to bring better innovation to market faster.
Specifically, he provides:
• an overview of the current state of innovation and what the future will bring us
• examples on how leading-edge companies merge open innovation and business model innovation
• insights on why companies must embrace failure for better innovation
• insights on how companies can use social media for their innovation efforts

TheFamily supports early stage startups from concept to launch through education and partnerships. It has helped 36 startups in 3 batches, with 18 raising over €5M. TheFamily believes the French startup ecosystem is toxic and applies unorthodox methods like country weekends and Silicon Valley expeditions to educate entrepreneurs. The document invites the recipient to join TheFamily's efforts to transform the French startup landscape.
The document discusses innovation trends and processes. It notes that innovation now requires openness, collaboration, a willingness to fail, and real-time testing and feedback. The methodology outlined involves screening trends, ideating, prototyping, testing with failure and feedback, and adapting before rollout. True innovation results from combining open networks, open collaboration, and human creativity. Examples of innovations like e-mobility, gobandit, and ashmob are provided.

Nuvolab - Piccola Guida Per Startupper 2014 (E Pur Si Muove)Nuvolab
Breve guida operativa per chi vuole avviare startup in Italia. Suggerimenti tratti dall'esperienza diretta del team di Nuvolab e del suo CEO, Francesco Inguscio
El documento habla sobre la importancia de la privacidad y la seguridad en línea. Explica que los usuarios deben tomar medidas para proteger su información personal en Internet, como usar contraseñas seguras y actualizadas, y estar atentos al phishing.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document provides tips for designing websites to increase traffic and conversion rates. It recommends including supporting statistics when making claims about products or services. It also suggests using customer testimonials, quotes, and stories when describing benefits and features since these make the claims more believable and help users connect with the business. Finally, it advises using simple language, active voice, and shorter sentences to make content easier for users to understand.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on wheat production. Researchers found that higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will significantly reduce wheat yields across major wheat-producing regions by 2050. The study concludes that efforts must be made to develop wheat varieties that can tolerate hotter and drier conditions to ensure future global food security as the climate continues to warm.
The document discusses design guidelines for touchscreen interfaces on smartphones like the iPhone. It notes that only about a third of the screen is within easy reach of a user's thumb. Interfaces should place primary tap targets in this "thumb zone" near the bottom of the screen. Navigation elements and commonly used buttons should go on the bottom left, while less frequent buttons can be placed safely at the top right to avoid accidental presses. A tap target size of 44x44 pixels is considered a best practice minimum size. Interfaces should avoid crowding buttons near the bottom to allow room for errors.
TCIOceania16 Boosting the Internationalisation and Competitiveness of Danish ...TCI Network
The Danish government has implemented a cluster policy to boost internationalization and competitiveness among Danish regions. The policy recognizes 50 significant industry clusters that receive funding and support. Clusters are expected to collaborate on internationalization, knowledge dissemination, innovation projects, and competence development. Evaluation shows companies involved in clusters have higher productivity, innovation, and growth. The national cluster strategy is developed collaboratively between Danish ministries and regions.
Designing websites to optimize for both traffic and conversion is important for success. Websites should be designed to clearly communicate their topic to search engines to attract the right kinds of visitors, rather than taking a generic approach. Design is about solving problems, not just aesthetics. Success requires getting the right number and type of people to visit along with converting as many visitors as possible into actions like purchases. Investing effort into both traffic and conversion delivers the best results, as having one without the other leads to no success.
The document describes an initiative called "Sounds of Silence" that aims to help hearing and speech impaired adolescents in India overcome communication barriers through the use of technology. It details plans to recruit and train volunteers to engage with students using text messaging to facilitate conversations in English and build confidence. The goal is to empower deaf individuals with independent communication abilities and promote equal access and inclusion.

Breve intervento del nostro CEO, Francesco Inguscio, per gli studenti del collegio Marianum dell'Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore organizzato in data 07/03/2015.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document provides tips for increasing website traffic and conversion rates. It emphasizes using compelling headlines that target specific markets and address visitors' needs and problems directly using "you-oriented" language. Headlines should be simple, bold, direct statements that intrigue visitors and prompt them to engage with the content. Targeting narrow market segments like hotels or teachers can increase relevance and feelings of belonging for visitors.
This document discusses the importance of participation in physical education (PE) for all students and identifies challenges that cause some students to not participate. It notes that PE develops important life skills like social skills, self-esteem, and promotes lifelong health. However, about 30% of Australian children do not participate in any sports. Reasons for low participation include issues like embarrassment, lack of skills, bullying, and gender influences. The document proposes ways to increase participation like mixed gender classes, more teacher involvement, modifying games, and focusing on skill development rather than competition.
Bulat Okudzhava was a Soviet and Russian poet, writer, musician, singer-songwriter, and novelist born in 1924 in Moscow. He was one of the founders of the genre of "author song" in Russia. His father was arrested and executed during Stalin's purges, and his mother spent 18 years in the Gulag. Okudzhava volunteered for the Red Army during WWII and after the war graduated from university in Tbilisi. He moved back to Moscow in 1956 and began composing and performing songs, accompanying himself on guitar. By the 1980s, his songs were being officially released in the Soviet Union. He died in Paris in 1997 and is buried in Moscow.
Charles Mok discusses key trends in technology that have enabled innovation in business, including personal computers, fiber optics, the internet, and the world wide web. He provides examples of innovative businesses that have been transformed by these technologies, such as Amazon, Google, Apple, and Octopus.

Innovation has transformed the world from the dark ages to today. The story of Thomas Edison shows how innovation can create immense value and success. Edison invented the phonograph and lightbulb after thousands of failed experiments. Successful companies continuously innovate in products, services, marketing and other areas. For example, Salesforce innovated the software-as-a-service model and Apple transformed the music industry with the iPod. Dell innovated supply chain management to build custom computers. Innovation requires questioning assumptions, observing customers, networking, experimenting and making connections. Companies can develop an innovation culture by encouraging these skills and sharing knowledge across the organization.

The document discusses the concept of "super innovative firms" and whether we are currently in an era of "super innovation". It proposes that super innovative firms demonstrate several key characteristics, including an ability to combine creativity, expertise and management; work on both big and small ideas; encourage innovation leadership; and actively seek new knowledge through networks. However, it concludes by acknowledging the open questions around whether specific firms truly demonstrate these traits and whether super innovation may be driving longer economic cycles proposed by Kondratieff.
Summary of the Book Exponential organizationsGMR Group
Happy Morning
I have made a small attempt to summarize this book after reading this number of times.
In this book Salim Ismail gives a deep dive – Exponential Organizations where he shows how any company, from Startup to a multi-national , can become exponential.
The author unveils years of research learning how organizations can accelerate growth through use of Technology. The goal of the book is to provide you with the knowledge to leverage assets such as big data, communities, algorithms, and new technology to achieve performance ten times better than your competition.
It is good book for entrepreneurs who need a guide for harnessing and strategizing the hyper growth of a company that feeds off of modern technology in the 21st century and beyond.
Because we focus on accelerating technologies and the future we identified an infection point in how we build businesses that has never noticed before.
Most CEOs see innovation as product or service innovation. But there is also process innovation, social innovation, organizational innovation, management innovation, business model innovation etc.
Those business that do not evolve , will not survive
Happy Reading
The document discusses innovation and change in technology. It covers topics like resilience, the impact of cheap technology, virtual worlds like Second Life, and how search engines and social computing are changing how people access and share information. It provides examples of technologies and trends from 2007-2008 that were transforming how people use the internet.
The document discusses the roles of entrepreneurs and factors that influence entrepreneurship. It defines an entrepreneur as someone who starts a business and takes on the risks of the venture. It explores characteristics commonly associated with entrepreneurs like optimism and self-confidence. The document also examines social and environmental factors that can encourage entrepreneurial spirit, such as having self-employed parents or experiences with family businesses. Finally, it looks at how communities and upbringing can shape an individual's interest in entrepreneurship.
Steve Jobs was a co-founder of Apple Inc. and helped drive many innovations in personal computing and mobile devices. The document discusses how Jobs insisted on focusing on what customers would want in the future rather than current market research. It describes some of Jobs' visions for making technology more user-friendly and how he helped transform Apple's fortunes after returning as CEO. The document also examines how Jobs prioritized the design and user experience of Apple's products above their technical specifications to change how people interact with technology.
The document discusses how tablets and smartphones are increasingly being used in the workplace due to their adoption by Millennial workers. Tablet sales grew rapidly after the launch of the iPad, with over 64 million tablets sold worldwide in 2011 and projections that tablets will outsell PCs by 2013. Many large companies have begun supporting iPads and iPhones in the workplace after employees demanded access to corporate systems on these devices. The influx of tablets and smartphones, along with their powerful apps, represents a significant shift in workplace technology driven by Millennial preferences. This consumerization of IT is disrupting traditional workplace technology strategies and plans.
Are You Ready to Disrupt It?’ is a unique knowledge safari into the wilderness of a new type of innovation which has emerged in the business world as well as in the research arena: Disruptive Innovation.
The book is the culmination of a project by The EU Disrupt-IT project consortium, reflecting the collaboration of experts from 6 countries. The consortium was formed in 2002 to develop a methodology and supporting software for enabling and catalysing the creation of new products, services and business models which have the potential to disrupt their markets.
The book conceptually clarifies some of the phenomena related to the realities of disruptive innovation, like:
“Low-end” market vs. New market disruptive innovation
Technological vs. Business Model disruptive innovation
The challenge of “Crossing the Chasm”
The book offers a comprehensive toolkit to foster disruptive innovation: this includes a “Knowledge Safari”, “Idea Pipeline software”, a “Disruptive Portfolio Management Tool”, an “Opportunity Recognition Workshop”, the “DI Compass” and an “Innovation Ecology Portal”.
Detailed descriptions of real case studies complemented by a utopian urban story enrich the concepts and make the complex and intangible ideas come alive.
The lively graphics and illustrations that enrich the insights in the text reflect the consortium’s philosophy that visualisation is an effective method of conveying, and absorbing, new ideas.
The Disrupt-IT project was co-funded by the European Commission Information Society Technology (IST) programme, which is a fertile ground for leading edge Knowledge Management research.
The document summarizes key learnings from Silicon Valley that could be applied elsewhere. It discusses how Silicon Valley has created highly valuable tech companies through an ecosystem of startups, investors, universities, and other players located close together in physical proximity. This ecosystem allows for collaboration, sharing of ideas, and a culture where failure is accepted and learning from mistakes is valued. The document argues that maintaining humanity as technology progresses will be an important cultural project. It encourages applying lessons from Silicon Valley's success, but also questioning its impacts and how to ensure the benefits of technology are shared by all.
A review of contemporary innovation a schumpeterian perspectiveMahdi Khobreh
The document summarizes three schools of thought on innovation from an economic, social, and cultural perspective:
1. The capability school views innovation from an economic perspective, seeing it as an institutionalized capability within firms characterized by routines like operating, investment, and search routines. Innovation is evaluated based on whether the expected costs are exceeded by the expected revenues.
2. The corporate entrepreneurial school takes a social perspective, seeing grassroots initiatives and an engaging process among many actors as driving innovation within firms. Identity-based relationships and authentic voices from various levels are important.
3. The cultural school focuses on a cultural view of innovation as deep craft, rooted in intergenerational relationships and affective identification. True innovation

The document discusses new types of innovation emerging in the global economy, including crowdsourcing, reverse innovation, and grassroots/frugal innovation. It notes that known types of innovation have come to the forefront and new, previously unknown types have emerged. Crowdsourcing involves mass participation and networking in innovation processes. Reverse innovation refers to innovation flows from developing to developed countries. Both leverage global networks and involve users/consumers. Traditional innovation models are being replaced by more decentralized and inclusive models.

13. A little experiment in exponential calculus
How many times do you have to fold
a piece of paper to cover the
distance between the Earth and the
Moon?
14. 42 times
Assuming a thickness of 0.01 cm,
each time the paper is folded its thickness will double.
(0.01) = 439,804 km
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is approximately 384,000 km
Fold it 103 times and you could reach the boundaries of the known Universe.

48. Why do big (and small) enterprises lose the game
With respect to the entrant startups (that ride new technological “waves”)
incumbents (“mature” companies) suffer of inertia due to their:
existing business models (and cannibalization risks)
technological liability
social and behavioral norms (cultural resistance to change)
short term orientation (Wall Street sindrome)
expectations not in line with technological trends
SELFISHNESS
49. Corporate Entrepreneurship
The logic and processes typical of startups are proving
effective to accelerate the development of existing business realities.

in traditional business models by introducing disruptive technologies,
with the support of business models that look to new markets.

The company provides
funding and senior
executive attention to
prospective projects.
Example: Google
The Producer
The company establishes
and supports a full-service
group with a mandate for
corporate entrepreneurship.
Example: Cargill
The Advocate
The company strongly
evangelizes for corporate
entrepreneurship, but
business units provide the
primary funding.
Exemple: DuPont
The Opportunist
The company has no
deliberate approach to
corporate entrepreneurship.

65. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical.
Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity.
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator
