CIO as Venture Capitalist

Thinking like venture capitalists to reshape business

Like venture capitalists, CIOs should actively manage their IT portfolio in a way that drives enterprise value and evaluate portfolio performance in terms that business leaders understand—value, risk, and time horizon to reward.

CIO as Venture Capitalist

1 CIO Journal by Wall Street Journal, “The four faces of the CIO,” October 28, 2013, http://deloitte.wsj.com/cio/2013/10/28/the-four-faces-of-the-cio/, accessed December 19, 2013. 2 Colleen M. Young, The CIO’s role in executing enterprise strategy, Gartner, Inc., November 21, 2013.3 Ibid.

Bits & BytesCIOs spend more than twice as much time as they’d like as an operator of IT services and just over half the time they’d like on strategic IT initiatives1

Gartner estimates that a “‘run the business’ focus often consumes up to 60% to 70% of all IT spend, thereby starving innovation and the investments necessary to grow or transform the business.”2

Garter states that “approximately 90% of enterprises fail to execute against their strategies; the dismal track record behind strategy execution is not a failure of the strategies themselves, but of enterprise-level program management”3

Lessons from the front linesGrowth and change – At Cisco, line-of-business CIOs actively manage a portfolio of assets with an understanding of cost, return, risk, and strategic importance

A view from the Valley – Hummer Winblad Venture Partners provides a VC perspective on how CIOs can shift focus from cost, compliance, and maintenance to being in the business of “new.”

CIO as Venture Capitalist

Bottom line

There’s a lot to learn from the portfolio mindset that VCs bring to their work: balancing investments in legacy systems, innovation, and even bleeding-edge technologies; understanding—and communicating—business value; and aligning talent with the business mission. Venture capitalists operate in a high-stakes environment where extraordinary value creation and inevitable losses can coexist inside a portfolio of calculated investments. So do CIOs.

Where do you start?

1 Inventory your portfolio: Consider technology procured inside and outside of IT 2 Evaluate your portfolio: Define the risk, value, and strategic importance of each item3 Double down on winners: Take intelligent risks, and be prepared to pull the plug4 Direct line of sight to revenue: Vet technologies & discuss investments with the business

Applying technology to enhance human decisions

Cognitive Analytics

Inspired by how the human brain processes information, draws conclusions, and codifies instincts and experiences into learning, it is now possible for machines to learn from experience and to penetrate the complexity of data to identify associations.

Cognitive Analytics

1 HP Autonomy Whitepaper: Transitioning to a New Era of Human Information, http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/cpo/2702137562 http://www.scienceworldreport.com/articles/10537/20131028/human-brain-project-neuroscientists-count-on-technology-evolution.htm

Bits & BytesThe volume of unstructured data is growing by 62% a year1

The Human Brain Project aims to build a working model of the brain by 2023 using neuromorphic computing, or machines that learn like the brain2

Lessons from the front linesChanging the world of health care – As part of an integrated ecosystem, WellPoint used cognitive analytics to provide patient treatment recommendations

Coloring outside the lines – Qualitative data transformed into actionable insights drove design changes for one consumer goods company

Intelligent personal assistants – New companions have factored in past behavior and preferences when responding to commands

Safeguarding the future: Energy well spent – Curtiss-Wright endeavored to improve power plant safety through use of a predictive intelligence system which can foresee future issues

Cognitive Analytics

Bottom lineAs the demand for real-time support in decision making intensifies, cognitive analytics can help businesses address some key challenges: It can improve prediction accuracy, provide augmentation and scale to human cognition, and allow tasks to be performed more efficiently (and automatically). Cognitive analytics offers a powerful way to bridge the gap between the promise of big data and the reality of practical decision making.

Where do you start?1 Start small: Prototype a cognitive analytics platform with the cloud & open-source tools2 Plant seeds: Invest in next-generation data scientists & business domain knowledge3 Tools second: Explore what you have as tools evolve and consolidate4 Context is king: Decide which domains to target and work through a concept map5 Don’t scuttle your analytics ship: Supplement, don’t replace, traditional analytics 6 Divide and conquer: Break initiatives into small, accessible projects7 Know which questions you’re asking: Stay grounded in the business “so what”8 Explore ideas from others: Look outside your company and industry

Harnessing the power of the crowd

Industrialized Crowdsourcing

Enterprise adoption of the power of the crowd allows specialized skills to be dynamically sourced from anyone, anywhere, and only as needed. Companies can use the collective knowledge of the masses to help with tasks from data entry and coding to advanced analytics and product development.

1Peter Diamandis, How a $500K investment netted $3 billion in one year, February 13, 2013, http://www.xprize.org/blog/ceo-corner/2013/02/13/how-a-500k-investment-netted-3-billion-in-one-year, accessed January 7, 2014.2Doug Gross, "Google boss: Entire world will be online by 2020," CNN, April 15, 2013, http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/tech/web/eric-schmidt-internet/, accessed January 20, 2014.

Industrialized Crowdsourcing

Bits & BytesGoldcorp is a mining company that shared its top-secret geological data with the crowd, offering $500,000 for finding six million ounces in untapped gold. This $500,000 investment yielded $3 billion in new gold in one year1

The number of people online is projected to increase from 2.4 billion today to 5 billion by 20202

Lessons from the front linesCrowding store shelves – One retailer used Gigwalk to improve processes and reduce the risk of lost sales

Crowd wars: The “fan”tom menace – Pringles teamed up with Star Wars to launch a Tongal-enabled contest for fans to design the next Pringles television commercial

Civic crowdsourcing – The cities of Boston and Chicago and the Khan Academy crowdsourced tools and services at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches

Have patents, will innovate – GE partnered with Quirky for product development and innovation recommendations, shortening invention timelines from years to weeks

Industrialized Crowdsourcing

Bottom lineCrowdsourcing is still in its early stages, but today’s online platforms are sophisticated enough to provide substantial benefits in solving many kinds of problems. It’s important that your organization has the ability to embrace new ideas that may be generated by your crowdsourcing initiatives. That means industrializing not just for scale and reach but also for outcome.

Where do you start?

1 Scope: Focus on a clear and specific problem to solve2 Focus on gaps: Identify and target gaps in your organization’s abilities3 Keep an open mind: Let your employees orchestrate the crowd4 Get ready for what’s next: Start thinking now about policies and processes

Reshaping and rewiring the customer experience

Digital Engagement

Digital engagement involves using technology to design more compelling, personally relevant, engrossing experiences that lead to lasting, productive relationships, higher levels of satisfaction, and new sources of revenue.

Wearables

Enabling businesses with digital informationHands-free, heads-up technology has the potential to reshape how work gets done, how decisions are made, and how you engage with employees, customers, and partners. While consumer wearables are in the spotlight today, we expect business to drive acceptance and transformative use cases.

Wearables

1 Deloitte Consulting LLP, TMT Predictions 2014, 2014.2 Angela McIntyre and Jessica Ekholm, Market trends: Enter the wearable electronics market with products for the quantified self, Gartner, Inc., July 1, 2013.

Bits & BytesDeloitte predicts that smart glasses, fitness bands, and watches should sell about 10 million units in 2014, generating $3 billion1

Gartner predicts that worldwide revenue from wearable electronic devices, apps, and services for fitness and personal health is anticipated to be $1.6 billion in 2013 increasing to $5 billion by 20162

Technical Debt Reversal

Reversing technical debt to support growthFor most organizations, technical debt comes with the territory, an unavoidable outcome of decades of technology spend. Understanding, containing, and mitigating technical debt can be a platform, not only for a stronger IT foundation, but for a renewed level of trust and transparency with the business.

Technical Debt Reversal

1 http://www.castsoftware.com/research-labs/technical-debt-estimation 2 Andy Kyte, “Measure and manage your IT debt,” Garner, Inc., Originally released August 9, 2010 and last reviewed June 19, 2013;

Bits & BytesAn average of $3.61 of technical debt exists per line of code, or an average of more than $1 million per system1

Gartner states that current global IT debt is estimated to stand at $500 billion, with the potential to rise to $1 trillion by 20152

Lessons from the front linesCountdown to zero technical debt – NASA’s approach to mitigating technical debt gives new life to a mission to Mars

Express delivery of quality – USPS improved application quality and implemented project standards to remediate technical debt

Cleaning up shop – DB Systel employed development tools to detect architectural risks and correct them accordingly

Combating system complexity – A technical maturity analysis and subsequent rationalization effort by the Military Health System saved the organization over $50M

Technical Debt Reversal

Bottom lineWhile it’s important not to get obsessed with technical debt, it’s also critical to understand and plan for it. Every new project automatically comes with technical debt as a cost of doing business. Reversing technical debt is a long-term investment, but if left unaddressed, it can bankrupt your ability to build for the future.

Where do you start?1 Assess the status of code for all significant investments: Calculate your debt2 Find out how future investments are dependent on your legacy systems: Consider

whether your architecture is ready for new initiatives. 3 Think through the availability of talent to support debt remediation: Factor talent into your debt analysis to define priorities and timelines4 Hold developers accountable: Consider rewarding developers on the quality of code5 Spread the wealth (and the burden): Use communities to identify and address debt6 Determine your debt repayment philosophy: Accumulation should be a conscious decision

Not just passive monitoring—it’s active influencing

Social Activation

Companies can activate their audiences to drive their messaging outward – handing them an idea and getting them to advocate in their own words to their own networks through social channels.

Social Activation

Bits & Bytes69% of executives thought social business would be critical to their organization in the next three years1

27% of global time spent on the Web is via a social media channel2

84% of global respondents of a recent Nielsen study trust word-of-mouth recommendations from friend and family – the most highly rated among digital and traditional methods3

Lessons from the front lines

Community outreach – Parallels cultivated a passionate community of customers through its “influencer” and “advocate” programs

The social TV experience – FOX launched an engaging second screen experience using social media and the voices of its dedicated viewers

Unleashing the power of social – Hartz introduced a multifaceted social media strategy designed to educate and foster relationships with pet enthusiasts

1 MIT Sloan Management Review in collaboration with Deloitte University Press, Social business: Shifting out of first gear, http://dupress.com/articles/social-business-study/, accessed December 31, 2013.2 Experian, Experian Marketing Services reveals 27 percent of time spent online is on social networking, http://press.experian.com/United-States/Press-Release/experian-marketing-services-reveals-27-percent-of-time-spent-online-is-on-social-networking.aspx, accessed December 31, 2013.3 Nielsen, Global trust in advertising and brand messages, http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/reports/2013/global-trust-in-advertising-and-brand-messages.html, accessed December 31, 2013.

1 Focus: Avoid extending initial efforts across too many desired outcomes2 Insight: Understand existing communities, channels, and content3 Perception: Uncover what people really think and feel about your brand4 Audience: Gather, monitor, and enlist targeted community members over time5 Campaigns: Focus on the ideation, creation, and monitoring of social experiences

Social Activation

Bottom lineSocial can drive real business performance through measurable, sustainable results, but it requires a shift in mindset – with a focus on perception, engagement, and activation. In today’s recommendation economy, educating and empowering your audience can lead to impactful, long-lasting results.

Where do you start?

A new class of cloud offerings
