Innovation vs Acquisitions


11/19


Technology vendors view consolidation as means togrow

Tougher R&D spend justification as perception lies with

acquiring proven technology

In view of OPEX spending cut pressures, technologyvendors are risk-averse


12/19


R&D spend is seen as a risk

Innovative culture experiments conducted

However beurocratic structures hinder ideas asinnovation agendas are dispersed through a chain ofhierarchy

Focus on quantity of patent filings then quality

Herein lies a false sense of open innovation


13/19


An innovative mind coupled with entrepreneurial spirit isthe essence of many great tech stories

As organization grows with processes and policies, risk is

managed at the expense of trust with employees

Believing in the best of human potential unlocks greaterpossibilities

Ideas = People (Knowledge+Information) [Fredrik Hren]

Potential for open source


15/19


Open source is developed with the sole intention for it tobe distributed freely

However without clear objectives and goals, great ideas

can fizzle into the abyss

Intrinsic benefit to society is apparent with a myriad ofsuccessful projects


16/19


Collaboration is key with open source development

All it takes is an idea and persistence to churn milk intobutter in an open source model

Recognition gained has greater value that can translateinto personal career development growth. Transparentrecognition structure.

Business models can be developed around open sourcesoftware developed with revenue generated from services

A myriad of grants available for budding startups
