MAIN MESSAGES

• The Communications and Information Technology sector has been identified as a high potential sector to arrest a recent job loss trend; and the C&IT Roadmap effort was launched to implement an executive mandate to accelerate the sector

• When we conducted our diagnosis, we recognized that P.R. has some assets it could bring to C&IT but there are many more barriers to overcome to be successful in C&IT area

• In conjunction with a wide group of stakeholders, we developed a roadmap of focused initiatives to build the capabilities and eliminate barriers necessary to capture opportunities in C&IT. Out of 23 recommended initiatives, 4 key initiatives were selected for focused attention from the Advisory Board to ensure implementation success

• Based on the commitment expressed by the DDEC Secretary, the Advisory Board decided that the C&IT organization should begin implementation immediately from within the DDEC. The implementation will require focus, leadership, and a committed full time resource which leverages existing organizations, and leaders to systematically drive the priority initiatives to completion

HOWEVER, THERE ARE MANY MAJOR OBSTACLES FOR C&IT SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

Enablers Inputs Implementation

Infrastructure• Provisioning of data services is

slow, sometimes not available (e.g., ADSL deployment)

• Permits for access to utilities is slow (e.g 1-2 months municipal, up to 6 from DTOP)

Education, R&D• Under-funded, unfocused R&D

efforts not coordinated with industry

• Educational curriculum of public university does not meet C&IT industry needs (e.g. more theory than practice, few internships with industry in EE)

Skills• Best engineers frequently leave

Puerto Rico• Insufficient supply of vocational

technicians• Few professionals with

understanding of global markets• Economic Development agencies

(e.g PRIDCO, GDB) have few professionals who understand C&IT sector

Funding• Available funding is not well

coordinated with stages of need for funding (e.g. investment skill and efficiency)

• No professional oversight on funding investments

Execution• Policies change dramatically

across administrations• Government and public

university – lack organizational agility to respond to quickly evolving C&IT market priorities

• PRIDCO promotions organization is unable to compete globally for C&IT

Culture• Orientation towards tangible

assets only; no emphasis on Intellectual Property and the importance of building a networked economy

• Econ. Development solution mindset ingrained on tax incentives

• Familiar – We have experience - a good fit. Outcome –should we succeed - can be predicted. Major risk is execution.

• Unfamiliar – We do not have relevant experience, but we know the initiative has succeeded elsewhere. Gaining knowledge could be the initiative itself. Risk in successfully gaining knowledge as well as execution.

• Uncertain –Outcome is not knowable - does not depend on our actions. However, given the potential impact, we take steps to prepare ourselves –gain and create knowledge – to stay in the game until uncertainty is resolved

• 1-2 years - Fulfill current needs for employment, support existing players in the sector

• 3-5 years - Create medium-term growth• 5 years + - Investments to gain familiarity in potentially big ideas

• Evaluate the potential return of the initiative to Puerto Rico in economic terms (e.g. jobs, contribution to GNP, wages)

• Some initiatives are impossible to quantify economically – but a reasoned, subjective assessment (low, medium, high) is necessary to prioritize

• Synergies between initiatives will influence the size of the impact

Risk – What is our degree of familiarity?

Timing – When do we expect

payoff?

Size – What is the economic

impact?

• Lack of reliable information on service standards and performance

• JRT is legally constrained from proactively shaping industry structure

• Lack of coordination among gov. agencies (e.g. ARPE, DTOP, AEE, CRIM) to achieve a positive impact on telecommunications

• Potential impact: Very large – strongly linked to 4 business opportunities identified ( 12,000 job potential)

Short term milestones Responsible

Measures of successInterim• # of promoters, man-hours committed

exclusively to C&IT promotion• # of C&IT companies in sales pipelineEnd-goal• # of jobs added in C&IT• $ of jobs added in other sectors using new

SUCCESSFUL ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING IN PUERTO RICO FOCUSES ON HIGHER VALUE PRODUCTS

High profit margins

High mix

High value to weight ratio

Description

• Highly profitable products benefit most from low tax rates. (Company must be a multi-national to take most of advantage of CFC* exemption)

• Local expertise is good at flexible, customized, high quality mfg. –experienced and skilled labor and professionals are readily available in the island

• Lower shipping costs relative to total delivered cost of product (critical element when competing vs. Continental U.S. locations)

Existing product examples

• Inkjet cartridges; EDP accessories for HP to resell within its network

• Security/monitoring equipment –1000 SKUs in one plant

• Memory cards, inkjet cartridges, electronic security tags

* Certified Foreign Corporations do not pay home-country taxes until they repatriate profitsSource: Interviews with local manufacturing leaders; Team analysis

MEDICAL AND DEFENSE ELECTRONICS ARE HIGHER VALUE PRODUCTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS PARTICULARLY COMPATIBLE WITH PR

* Estimate based on gaining 5% of potential market by 2005, $84,000 rev. per employee averageSource: Electronic Trend Publications; McKinsey interviews

• The medical equipment market is expected to grow rapidly; the products have high margins and there are few CMS players in this market

• Requirements to compete – Demonstrated capabilities with high-mix/complex products– FDA certification– Ability to provide ready supply

• There are relatively high barriers to entry (e.g., FDA certifications, technical complexities, low volume), thus it may be easier to sustain a niche business strategy over the long run

• Outsourcing has long been dormant in defense due to long product cycles, low incentives to cut costs, and general OEM bias against outsourcing.

• The outlook is improving, as defense spending is expected to increase, cost will be increasingly scrutinized, and OEMs are increasingly open to outsourcing

• There are relatively high barriers to entry (e.g., government/OEM certifications, technical complexities, low volume), thus it may be easier to sustain a niche business strategy over the long run

Potential: 6,000 jobs*

Potential: 3,500 jobs*

MAIN MESSAGES

• The Communications and Information Technology sector has been identified as a high potential sector to arrest a recent job loss trend; and the C&IT Roadmap effort was launched to implement an executive mandate toaccelerate the sector

• When we conducted our diagnosis, we recognized that P.R. has some assets it could bring to C&IT but there are many more barriers to overcome to be successful in C&IT area

• In conjunction with a wide group of stakeholders, we developed a a roadmap of focused initiatives to build the capabilities and eliminate barriers necessary to capture opportunities in C&IT. Out of 23 recommended initiatives, 4 key initiatives were selected for focused attention from the Advisory Board to ensure implementation success

• Based on the commitment expressed by the DDEC Secretary, the Advisory Board decided that the C&IT organization should begin implementation immediately from within the DDEC. The implementation will require focus, leadership, and a committed full time resource which leverages existing organizations, and leaders to systematically drive the priority initiatives to completion

• The Communications and Information Technology sector has been identified as a high potential sector to arrest a recent job loss trend; and the C&IT Roadmap effort was launched to implement an executive mandate toaccelerate the sector

• When we conducted our diagnosis, we recognized that P.R. has some assets it could bring to C&IT but there are many more barriers to overcome to be successful in C&IT area

• In conjunction with a wide group of stakeholders, we developed a a roadmap of focused initiatives to build the capabilities and eliminate barriers necessary to capture opportunities in C&IT. Out of 23 recommended initiatives, 4 key initiatives were selected for focused attention from the Advisory Board to ensure implementation success

• Based on the commitment expressed by the DDEC Secretary, the Advisory Board decided that the C&IT organization should begin implementation immediately from within the DDEC. The implementation will require focus, leadership, and a committed full time resource which leverages existing organizations, and leaders to systematically drive the priority initiatives to completion

THE ADVISORY BOARD DECIDED ON A SHORT AND LONG-TERM SOLUTION FOR THE ROADMAP’S LEADERSHIP

• Takes advantage of existing commitment from DDEC and OGP, communicates urgency to all other organizations involved

• Allows uninterrupted support from PRIDCO S&T office and OGP

Initial effort with DDEC and OGP leadership and a project manager hired full-time; leadership to migrate to an independent organization within two years to ensure continuity to effort as prescribed by Advisory Board

DDEC/OGP LEADERSHIP IS THE BEST SHORT TERM ALTERNATIVE TO LEAD THE C&IT ROADMAP

DDECUnder

Secretary or OGP CTO

Roadmap project

manager

C&IT Working teams

DDEC/OGP assumes responsibility for driving initiatives to completion. Works in cooperation with multiple government, academic, and private entities. Could potentially become a separate subsidiary.

• DDEC/OGP solution may need to be temporary. Continuity could be compromised with change in administration and DDEC leadership therefore transition to permanent organization is built-into plan

• Leverage DDEC’s and OGP's enthusiasm to get resource(s) dedicated to roadmap implementation. Use DDEC and OGP influence to facilitate fast decision-making

• DDEC/OGP must make concerted effort to involve C&IT stakeholders. The project manager would have dotted-line reporting to the C&IT Advisory Board

THE C&IT ROADMAP ORGANIZATION WILL EVENTUALLY TRANSITION INTO A NON-GOVERNMENT, PERMANENT ORGANIZATION SUCH AS PRTEC/CNE

Board of Directors

C&IT Asst. Director

C&IT Advisory Board

Executive Director

Added

Other initiatives

within chosen organization

The existing organization’s board would oversee the C&IT effort – the board should be representative of C&IT interests

Dedicated to C+IT initiatives

C&IT Working teams

The executive director of the existing organization would gain an additional project manager to push C&IT initiatives

• An independent, organization can provide continuity across changes in administration

• The independent organization can make decisions quickly (e.g. many important players and influencers in the sector – HP, PRTEC, UPR, PRIDCO are in PRTEC)

• The independent organization should reach a wider audience within C&IT’s diverse industries and across political lines

• Care must be taken to ensure that the chosen permanent home can dedicate substantial “mind share” to the C&IT cause

• Funding for a full-time, dedicated C&IT project manager would have to be secured before handing-off responsibility from DDEC/OGP to the establish independent org.
