Deliverables Summaries and Links

ROADMAPPING(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

Roadmaps, as viewed by the MATI community, are documents that reveal the key defining elements of the markets, products, and technologies for a select part of the firm. Roadmapping is the activity of creating and then communicating those roadmaps for decision making. Roadmaps are unique documents in their emphasis on time and change, rather than treating assumptions as constants. Roadmaps take those moving targets and establish their priority, extend them using forecasts, and link them across the firm and sometimes through the customer, partner, and supply chain.

Organizational Considerations

(R9) Getting Other People to Roadmap, Tom Kappel, Lucent (4 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Getting_others_to_roadmap.ppt The job of implementing roadmapping is really one of getting others to learn the technique, create roadmaps and then use the output in meaningful ways. A measurement scheme is needed to know how well you are implementing it. Three measures are suggested (the MATI I study using "aligned decisions"). The commonly used techniques are then discussed in terms of their effect using those measures. See “Getting Buy-In for Roadmapping”, Tom Kappel in Intra-org. Issues.

(R10) Roadmapping Behaviors, Tom Kappel, Lucent (13 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/RoadmappingBehaviors_.pptA summary of some findings from MATI I field research on roadmapping. Includes some basic definitions, discussion of how roadmaps are used, and how it can be measured. Tentative conclusions are presented on ideal conditions for roadmapping and the successful tactics for implementing or spreading it.

(R11) Thoughts on a Systematic and Meaningful Structure for Roadmapping/Futures Studies Based on Context and Use, Mike Radnor (IBD/Kellogg), Jeff Strauss (IBD/Kellogg), Tom Kappel (Tellabs) 10 slideshttp://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/RoadamppingFutures_MATI_slides.ppt Stakeholders, Objectives, and Context provide the context for the level and nature of involvement in the Roadmapping process. For instance, variations in perspectives on Roadmapping are dependent on the organizational perspective. Thus, varying stakeholder perspectives have implications for the process of Roadmapping. A key issue is who should be involved in the Roadmapping process (when and how), a decision that includes consideration of individual expertise, power, personality, and balance of the team.

Checklists/Exercises/Training

(R12) Roadmapping Process Checklist - A list of common activities necessary to complete the roadmapping process including market drivers and technology strategy (3 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-ts-voc-process_checklist.doc Technology roadmaps are the documentation of a structured process to define, analyze, and plan the development of a core product/technology.

6

Some companies use a small group of technical experts to keep the roadmaps current. The better approach is a multi-disciplined one where experts from engineering, research, marketing, planning, etc. are involved in the process. Each company will implement the process in its own way. However, there are some common concepts that all companies deal with while implementing the roadmapping process. After the technology, product line, product, or component is identified, in general terms, as a candidate for the roadmapping process, the following activities are necessary to complete the detailed roadmapping process. The results from each activity are documented on a series of roadmapping templates for presentation, as needed.

(R13) Roadmapping Benefits Diagnostic, Elliott Fan and Mike Radnor, IBD This diagnostic tool is designed to assist firms considering roadmapping to determine the benefits they are likely to obtain, given their needs and goals and the technology management processes they currently use.Background, rationale (6 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/notes/road-notes/Roadmapping_Benefits.ppt Summary of topics/sample questions & comments (9 slides - Open in Notes mode)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/notes/road-notes/Diagnostic_sample.ppt

(R14) Training Exercise: Intra-Organizational Issues in Roadmapping, Elliott Fan, (IBD) (in several sections as noted) This learning exercise was successfully piloted at two MATI meetings. It involves having executives from several departments (currently technology, marketing and strategy/finance but being expanded to include manufacturing) role play in a roadmapping development team. The team is required to develop strategies and roadmaps under changing conditions, for a fictitious firm. The package of materials includes initial briefing materials for each function, materials distributed to each function as an update after initial discussion and a guide for facilitating the exercise.

(R15) Fast-Start Technology Roadmapping, Rob Phaal, Claire Farrukh and David Probert, Cambridge University (11 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Ucam_fast-track_TRM.docThe paper which describes the development and application of a process for supporting the rapid initiation of technology roadmapping in manufacturing firms can be of particular interest to SMEs. The 'start-up' process comprises a series of facilitated workshops that bring together various functions in the business, including technology and marketing. The process supports understanding and communication of the relationships between market and business requirements, product and service concepts, and technological solutions. The approach encourages learning and staff involvement, and identifies key knowledge gaps, enabling a company-specific roadmapping process to be initiated quickly. In addition, theoretical aspects of technology roadmapping are discussed, in the context of managing technological knowledge.

(R16) A Short Roadmap Case: Rigid Disk Drives, Rich Albright, Albright Strategy Group (MATI Fellow) (16 PowerPoint slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Short_Roadmapping_Case.ppt A Product-Technology Roadmap is presented as the link between Market & Competitive Strategy, Product Roadmap, Technology Roadmap, and Summary & Action Plan. The case is developed in terms of an exercise assignment and uses experience curves and market research results to form the background for the objective to turn around a 3.5” drive business. Technology Development Options provide 4 project choices to drive this turnaround.

(R17) Roadmapping Primer Outline and Progress, Bob McCarthy, Roche (8 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/ARTICLES/ROAD/RMTF1001e.ppt

Progress on the development of the Primer, targeting Roadmapping novices who want to use the tool. The Guiding Principles are to include references to advanced materials and integrate the Primer with other MATI initiatives to the extent possible. The role of Roadmapping in the New Product Development (NPD) process is to address technology-dependent product evolution, technology integration, and the leveraging of technology into new markets. The 5-stage process flow involves different people at different times in the Roadmap development process. The drivers / activities and deliverables, together with staffing, for each stage is presented. The Task Force goal is to present a member draft for the next MATI meeting.

(R18) Update on Progress on Generic Product-Technology Roadmap (primer) Bob McCarthy (MATI Fellow formerly Roche) (12 PowerPoint slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/rmtf0301.ppt The scope of the first “primer” is limited to product-technology Roadmaps that are used to support existing product development processes. The Primer will include: 1) Introduction, 2) Pre-project phase, 3) Development phase, 4) Implementation phase, 5) Case studies, 6) Appendices. The plan is to finalize the outline for the first 3 sections immediately, with sub-groups formed to convert the outline into text & figures prior to internal review and completion of the rest of the outline.

General Roadmapping Perspectives

(R19) Roadmapping Overview, Richard Albright, Lucent (22 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Albright_rm-overview.pptAddresses what is roadmapping, Comments on Successful Roadmapping, and the Development Process from an industry perspective.

(R20) Perspectives on Roadmaps: How Organizations Talk about the Future, Tom Kappel, Lucent, to appear in Journal of Product Innovation Management (11 pages PDF)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Kappel_perspectives_on_rmg.pdf This study provides an organizational perspective on roadmapping as currently practiced, presents the experience of several organizations that have implemented it, and evaluates the results. Using a case-based, exploratory method, Kappel addresses several practical questions, such as: What are the effects of roadmapping? How are they measured? Is roadmapping always appropriate? How would an organization know if it is roadmapping well? What are the various kinds of roadmaps and how do they relate to each other?

(R21) Next Generation Roadmapping: From R, D &E Management to Innovation Management, from Products & Technologies to Partners and Platforms, Ronald Jonash (Arthur D Little) (24 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/ADLittleJune2000.ppt This presentation argues that successful companies will be those that are able to continually and systematically innovate by thinking in terms growth platforms of core technologies or capabilities and the management of partners chosen strategically to facilitate rapid product development. Case examples are included. Implications for alignment of business and technology strategy, organizational structure and key processes (including, particularly, technology portfolio management and varying roadmaps) are discussed.

(R22) Roadmapping Taxonomy, Richard Albright, Lucent (4 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Rming_taxonomy_991118.ppt A draft project description addressing Types of Roadmaps, Roadmapping Domains, and the focus of activity of 14 Roadmapping groups (including MATI).

(R23) Aligning Strategy and Technology Using Roadmaps: Emerging Lessons from the NCMS 'MATI' Project", Michael Radnor and John W. Peterson (8 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-ts-lessons_from_MATI.doc This paper offers some insights into selected management of technology-related constructs and tools that can help integrate planning and operations for the mid-to-large size technology intensive company. The constructs and tools reflect real time lessons being learned in MATI.

(R24) How to Recognize a Mature Technology Roadmap - A Field Guide for Technology Planning and Management, John Thompson, Lucent (6 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-roadmap_field_guide.doc An easy to read introduction to roadmaps and roadmapping.

http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-org-common_platforms3.doc This set of papers examines the differences, similarities and common platforms that exist in the roadmapping process. Can corporate-level road mapping serve as a general vehicle for evaluating, minimizing and managing risk in projects as well as ensuring effective execution of the project.

(R26) Technology Planning Survey - Strategic Technology Management: Linking Technology Resources to Company Objectives, R. Phaal and C. Farrukh, Cambridge University (32 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Cambridge_Tech_Plan_Survey.doc This survey was conducted by the MOT group at Cambridge to establish current practice in the area of ‘technology planning’, with specific reference to 'technology roadmapping' in the UK and, in the US through a ‘supplementary’ survey. The following broad conclusions are drawn:1. While technology planning is an important business activity across industry sectors and company types, there is little commonality in terms of perceptions, approaches and tools. There is a need for improved frameworks and tools, with a desire for simple, structured, robust, flexible and integrated tools and processes. These findings support the need for the development of a tool catalogue.2. The survey demonstrated that technology roadmapping can be used successfully for supporting technology strategy and planning, although its adoption represents a challenge in terms of both initiating and sustaining the process. There is considerable interest in the development of the fast-start TRM process.

(R27) Technology Road Mapping: The Issues of Managing Technology Change, David Probert and Noordin Shehabuddeen, University of Cambridge (5 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/TRMChange_paper.docTechnology roadmapping has emerged as a key management tool in formulating the link between technological resources and the exploitation of market opportunities. A powerful aid to strategy formulation and communication, the technique has the major advantage of bringing many functions within a business together around a common plan. Although there is no definitive guide to roadmapping practice, the application in many different businesses has revealed a number of generic aspects. A major common factor is that technology road maps are concerned with the introduction of technology change into an organization.

(R28) Value Chain/ Value Creation Roadmapping, Rich Albright, Albright Strategy Group (MATI Fellow) (16 slides, pdf)

11

http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/v1.1_Value_Creation_Roadmap.pdf Viewing the business as a “system” provides the structure to develop a Roadmap with the objective to create shareholder value. This concept combines the push and pull aspects of Know-why (market & competitive strategy), Know-what (Product Roadmap), Know-how (Technology Roadmap), and To-Do (Summary and Action Plan) in the context of Know-when (Time). The insight that Roadmapping is just good planning provides the basis for reviewing traditional Shareholder Value and associated Value Drivers. The GE decomposition of value is combined with Porter’s Value Chain to present summary analyses of Motorola and Kraft from their annual reports as case examples.

(R29) Linking Business Strategy and Technology Roadmaps, Sujeet Chand, Rockwell Automation (30 slides,pdf)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/KraftBrfgSujeetChand.pdf Using the experience of Rockwell, current practice of technology roadmaps and business strategy reviews are described. With shorter product life cycles more applicable commercial technology, the internet as both an enabler and a disrupter, and global / regional standards driving markets, business has become more intense. Complex competitive, partnering, and customer relationships establish that a proactive technology planning process is crucial for business success. Key success factor identified were: 1) world-class integration, 2) applications support for strategic applications, and 3) product specifications tailored to customer needs. Gaps are identified and a process for improving the linkage between Roadmaps and business strategy is presented. This improvement is focused on customer value propositions tied to business objectives and key success factors, a common front end to both processes.

(R30) Using Text Mining with Technology Roadmapping, Alan Porter (Georgia Tech), April 5-9, 2000 30 slideshttp://mati.ncms.org/secure/articles/techstgy/mati-porter-rdmpg-utility.pptBuilding on the premise that increasingly accessible electronic information resources comprise a fantastic resource, the challenge remains how best to analyze and present information derived from a variety of sources. The Technology Opportunities Analysis (TOA) process begins with information search and ends with presentation of information products that inform effectively. Examples of foci of activity, mapping specific research topic clusters, trend analysis of publications, innovation indicators, are used in innovation tracking & forecasting, for market, technology, and competitors. The link to Roadmapping is through technology drivers and trends, including competitive analysis.Issues of TOA as a product / service include how to package the results, with “on time” delivery (21% within the day, 45% within the week, 24%

12

with the month) showing the gap between industry needs and the traditional academic process. Seven suggestions to enhance Roadmapping utility are advanced.

(R31) Product Technology Roadmap (roadmap evolution) Rich Albright, Albright Strategy Group 1 slide http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/ARTICLES/ROAD/RM_overviewv1.1.ppt A pictorial representation of the various components of a product-technology roadmap.

Multi Scenario/Non-Linear, Foresight and Decision-based Roadmapping

Multi Scenario/Non-Linear

(R32) Knowledge Management-based Multi-Scenario Roadmapping for Dynamic Environments Jeffrey Strauss (IBD/Kellogg): in two parts:

1. Changing Ba of Roadmapping (4 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/changing_ba_of_roadmapping.doc Applying Nonaka’s concept of Ba, a contextual framework is presented which considers how roadmapping has moved from a focus primarily on enhancing the voice of technology & R&D in strategic planning to including a range of business units and functions and, gradually, suppliers. As a response to rapidly changing and uncertain conditions extension of the roadmapping context to explicitly consider multiple scenario variations (more so than is currently done) is suggested.

2. Multi-Scenario Roadmapping (12 slides in Word) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/MATI_multi-scenarioRM.pptDetails rationale and issues and then suggests steps for specifying variations in roadmapping tasks for different scenarios and planning for potential transition from one scenario to another.

(R33) Plotting and Navigating a Non-Linear Roadmap: Knowledge-Based Roadmapping for Emerging and Dynamic Environments, Jeff Strauss, Mike Radnor and John Peterson (29 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-nonlinear_roadmapping.doc

Figures for the above paper (on separate Power Point file, 9 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-nonlinear_rm_figs.ppt A review of the complementary tools of roadmapping and scenario planning provides the context a two new methodology joining these techniques. Two

13

new methodologies are introduced that could provide the complementing conceptual and practical implementation guidelines needed to overcome inherent limitations and maximize the contribution to knowledge management of the above two toolset. It may also bridge disparate organizational, environmental, industry, product life cycle and knowledge type contexts.

(R34) On Creating New Horizons: Integrating Non-Linear Considerations To Better Manage the Present From the Future, John Anderson, Mike Radnor and John Peterson - November, 1998 (9 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/ts-nonlinear_management.docIn a departure from arduous formal scenario planning, a futures approach based upon NASA’s Horizon Mission Methodology adapted to the emerging “MATI” model of the technology intensive firm will be presented. It has the virtues of being an informal, flexible, and adaptable planning technique which can easily become an embedded management skill. Although not a cure-all for business problems, it does provide a framework for creating context and integrating vision, solutions and alternatives.

Foresight Roadmapping

(R35) Roadmaps to Improve Technology Foresight (23 pages pdf)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/ROAD/foresightRMfinal.pdfThis presentation discusses constraints to innovation in organizational culture and, using examples from the pharmaceutical industry, suggests a variation on roadmapping to systematically consider the impact of trends and discontinuities.

Decision-based Roadmapping

(R36) Enterprise-wide Requirements and Decision Management with Strategic Roadmap Planning, Gary DeGregorio (Motorola) 1. Since recast in Motorola as a distinct process separate from

roadmapping, this article provides an overview of Motorola’s decision system to enable improved organization-wide decision making and roadmapping (13 slides PDF)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/

Motorola_Atlanta_MATI_Mtg.pdf 2. The complete exposition (38 slides PDF) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-deGregorio_MATI2_Orlando.pdf

(R37) Decision Based Roadmapping: Progress and MATI Opportunity Gary Degregorio, (Motorola) (21 slides PDF)

14

http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/DeGregorio_Motorola_Presentation.pdf Beginning with the provocative heading “Roadmaps are the Answers, so what are the Questions?” an agenda of progress leads to a MATI Opportunity. Current process of decision-making is characterized as ad hoc, disconnected, non-compatible, and non-actionable, with fuzzy, duplicated, non-compatible requirements feeding independent Roadmaps that are disconnected from real decision making. Since Decisions Create the Future™, they should be linked both to requirements and roadmaps. A process of Roadmap Planning as well as Decision Driven Design are described, making the point that decisions are central to the process. A structured approach to capture and record the various elements has been used by teams from strategy through marketing to technology. This approach managed complexity, accelerated end-end design convergence, captured thinking and decision rationale while providing an efficient collaboration framework and laying the foundation for implementation success. The opportunity for MATI lies in creating a market for Roadmapping and decision-based processes, methods, and tools.

Industry Roadmapping

(R38) Industries of the Future: Creating a Sustainable Technology Edge, Kenneth Friedman, US Department of Energy Office of Industrial Technology Presents the concept of cooperative, pre-competitive research, highlighting the role of Industry Roadmapping. Completed industry visions for Forest Products, Steel, Metalcasting, Glass, Aluminum, Chemicals, Agriculture, and Mining are presented, with examples of consortia-developed "research that produced results".

presented of Millennium Technologies and the problems that combinatorial chemistry brought to traditional approaches to toxicological characterization.

Science Roadmapping

(R40) Using Text Mining with Technology Roadmapping, Alan Porter, Georgia Institute of Technology (30 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/mati-porter-rdmpg-utility.ppt Beginning with the premise that full internal and external information, made more accessible by electronic sources, leads to the question of how best to analyze and present derived information. This presentation focuses on the field of Science roadmapping.

SMEs

(R41) Application of Roadmapping to SMEs, Jack Bishop (Kingsbury/IBD) (9 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/Road/Roadmapping&SMEs.pptSmall- and Medium- sized Enterprises (SMEs) as suppliers are major sources either for new technology and/or for cheaper prices and better service. SMEs are fast growing customers. Either way, SMEs are attractive business partners for established businesses. However, SMEs operate under significant constraints, including cultural differences with large companies. Roadmapping may be an effective means of enhancing communication between SMEs and their larger hosts, addressing such issues of what technology when and what resources when to synchronize capabilities and expectations. To achieve the potential of enhancing the SME / Large Company interaction, Roadmapping must be self-administered (web based?), simple (Roadmapping Lite™), and robust (Roadmapping Tuff™). Roadmapping Lite would use standard tools & templates to focus on Product / Technology Roadmaps. A program for development of the concept within MATI was proposed. Bibliographies

In-depth Reading

(R44 – also listed as TE/TT8) What's an Organizational Routine? ‘Unpacking Knowledge Management’, Daniel Levin, Discussion of success factors in technology roadmapping and technology transfer (53 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/org_routine.docBy focusing on the specific and crucial technology roadmapping (planning) and transfer processes ( defined and described in more detail below), this research grounds the theories and concepts of knowledge and learning in what actually goes on in organizations. In 14 cases at four large companies, it may not be enough for organizational learning to take place if there is only an ability to absorb new knowledge and a high degree of comfort in doing so. Rather, supporters had to have the power and influence in the organization for knowledge flow to happen and overcome inertia. The paper shows how two critical, knowledge-intensive organizational routines (technology roadmapping and the intra-company technology transfer) operate in practice in multiple companies. It is based on a cross-case comparison at multiple firms.

The case is made for the evolution of the Agrarian Age (1st Wave) through the Industrial Age (2nd Wave) to the current Information Age (3rd Wave). Challenges for management include the different goals of old (2nd Wave) and new (3rd Wave) objectives. Future focused leaders tend to use four kinds of tools: 1) Futures processes, 2) Strategy & opportunity creation, 3) Investment methods, and 4) Innovation approaches, but data is insufficient for executives.

The challenge was to cut cost by 50%, increase reliability and life, and provide comparable or better performance. The S Curve indicated further significant cost reductions could not be expected. A trend analysis of 7 candidate technologies revealed that the best was not distinguishable from modified existing technology. Advanced tools were used to develop a detailed business case for two contenders. Data and the President overcame internal resistance to adoption of an emerging technology candidate, leading to a totally renewed business with large upside potential. Lessons Learned include: 1) tight focus, 2) lead customer involvement, 3) S-curve analysis, 4) awareness of emerging technologies, 5) Technology trend analysis, 6) TRIZ, 7) target costing with process-based cost modeling, 8) progressive refinement, 9) system simulation, 10) executive involvement.

Many futures need to be studied since no single future currently is forecast-able. Since multiple macro-environmental drivers change over time, the business environment and values change. Traditional approaches attempt to isolate drivers and bracket future space as a prelude to monitoring the environment for changes. Since the process of attempting to deal with alternative futures exercises participants to deal with the unexpected, a “New Event Horizons” approach can fold technology-driven alternative futures into business strategies. Such an approach would involve explicating technology value chains, projecting dissonance creating technologies, and assessing uncertainty and risk as a first step. The second step would attempt to specify the sources and timing of critical technologies, managing their evolution.

On approach is scenario initiated new business creation as an alternative to businesses initiated by customer needs or technology opportunities. Such an approach is built on a market & technology vision of the future embodying implied needs and technology roadmaps. This process leads to business scenarios with an associated early investment strategy. A 9 step stage 1 innovation process is described including scenarios of the world in 25 years. Scenarios include official (baseline), hard times, paradigm change, and visionary. The process

includes a late-stage screening process to ensure that the concept is real, big, and winnable, leading to a traditional business plan. This business plan, provides the basis for presentation to management and negotiation of a contract with a sponsor. Thus, scenario-initiated new business creation is a process for business futuring.

TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY, PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT and INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

The role of knowledge and intellectual capital as key drivers of innovation and strategic thinking and the technology management tools required for implementation have become a central focus for MATI work in the strategy area. The MATI task-force’s working definition views portfolio management as involving a collection of intellectual property rights, technologies, processes, products and/or projects that are controllable and managed (explicitly or implicitly) by a technology-intensive firm to maximize/optimize the total value of the innovation mix over a given timeframe in order to meet its longer term strategic objectives. The task-force .is exploring "state of the art" practices, particularly in terms of dimensions used, general approach, what does and does not work and the influence of "industry clock speed" (product life cycles). Questions being asked include whether all industries should handle portfolio management in the same manner, what are best practices for portfolio valuation, cash flow, turns, option theory and strategic fit and determining the interplay between portfolio management and other practice areas.

(TS/PM1) Mining the Techno-Infrastructure, John Peterson, Lucent, (19 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/MATI_Task04_patents.pptMoving from the premise that discontinuities cause changes in priorities, the rationale is set to develop software to mine patent literature for loci of innovation. A war scenario provides the illustration of a MATI technique of mapping the future back to the present, evaluating the Innovation Competency Distribution (academic, commercial and defense), and leads to the MATI I model of mining technology, exploration domains and technology assumptions. Translating to business concepts (business and technology value chains) shows how Roadmaps recognize and illustrate linkages. Using these techniques, specific technologies can be isolated to map the state-of-the-art and innovator relationships, suggesting virtual consortia and raising the question if core competency lies in creating and sustaining coalitions. The MATI I lesson of Strategic Alignment is overlaid with the concept of Scenarios to anticipate discontinuities.

(TS/PM2) Distributed Knowledge Creation and Management: Transition to the Almost Virtual Enterprise, John Peterson, Lucent (32 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/Peterson_MATI_Feb2000.pptWith "old think" dominated by financial expectations, "new think" asserts that Time/Tempo/ Innovation drives business & financial performance. Since the Business Value Chain is inefficient, a change in perspective is necessary and MATI is an emerging meta-structure for developing the business in which technology deals with innovation by redefining markets. A contextual view of strategy is presented in which creation of the "new think" growth engine is supported by roadmapping and recognizing actionable technology clusters.

(TS/PM3) Knowledge Management: A MATI Perspective, Jack Bishop, Mike Radnor (IBD) (11 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/TechMgmt/Know0301.ppt_.ppt Knowledge Management is characterized as integrated, interdisciplinary, and with a strategic intent, but is neither computers, data bases, nor information technology. Not only is the complexity of knowledge management overwhelming, but also practical tools are lacking. Proposed activities include characterizing the state-of-the-art, seeking out tools by surveying MATI members before identifying alternative action plans.

(TS/PM4) Creating Technology Centered Advantage: A Strategic View from the Knowledge Battlespace. John W. Peterson (9 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/secure/articles/Tech-centered-advantage.docStrategy, a military term that has been adapted for use in the business environment, is a very powerful concept that is both directional and temporal. It exists in concept space bound by system-specific, renewable, knowledge-based resources which include a knowledge-creation infrastructure, technological capability, a dynamic network for access to capital and organizational will and intellect. Unfortunately, strategic context is also a shared virtual space. The competition lives there too. Survival for large technology intensive companies requires improved situational awareness and a carefully crafted context shaping capability. Also required is contextual strategic decision congruity and a flexible meta-structure to create, dissolve and later recreate teaming arrangements that leverage multiple firms capabilities. The author suggests a framework for defining a credible future end-point and a tool set for developing the strategies and capabilities necessary to get there, particularly during times of structural stress and technological discontinuity.

http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/May_Peterson_Tek-Prote-Valu.ppt Given the objective to sustain a strategic balance in program / project deployment, a strategy in entropic time is described. The assertion that “context drives capability” suggests that a real options approach to normative futures is indicated. Intellectual capital strategies are provided a context of other elements of the corporation value chain, with the warning that technology must be licenses and litigated… or lost. Intellectual property should be viewed in both offensive and defensive contexts along the way. The conclusion is that intellectual capital is a valuable asset that should be protected, grown, and leveraged.

(TS/PM6) Creating Intellectual Capital Advantage: Really Leveraging Innovation, John Peterson, Lloyd Eriksen and Kevin A. Greer (Lucent) (12 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/secure/articles/techstgy/iamot01-curdft.docA methodology is presented for a process to better manage intellectual capital (later defined as explicit technical knowledge). The findings concern the alignment of business strategy, organizational learning as part of the product technology roadmapping process and aggressive management of the technology attack strategies. Intellectual capital, as an integral part of the business strategy and requiring decision considerations that come from the perspectives of the creator, the owner/manager and the user(s), are central. Moreover, the transfer of intellectual capital must be recognized as not necessarily a Tofflerian second wave zero-sum-game. Intellectual capital management becomes a strategic means of generating funding for enterprise growth through market shares (accelerating product introductions and dominant designs), technology licensing and transfer fees, leveraging multi-company competencies and capabilities and supply chain barter.

(TS/PM7) Knowledge Creation and Information Management in the Technology Intensive Enterprise: Strategic Fabric Not Infrastructure, John Peterson and Michael Radnor (will be posted shortly with link)Although the relationships between technical expertise and management decision processes remain a strategic issue, information management has become a political solution answering, at least in part, how, functional expertise in a technology intensive organization can be integrated to create intellectual capital, product, market and business advantages. Major best-in-class technology intensive companies are beginning to recognize that success in the new millennium will depend on the ability of the enterprise to create and apply knowledge in ways that fit dynamic and ever increasingly complex global markets and changing corporate environments. They understand that global pressures will no longer allow the response time for restructuring to force the alignment of new hierarchies and under-performing organizations. This work-in-process will introduce several new

25

concepts that begin to address the traditional boundary between technical expertise and management decision processes. The new methodologies help bridge disparate functional environments, enabling technology life cycles, and the balancing of disruptive and sustaining technologies.

Success Factors identified were: 1) Aligning knowledge & business targets, 2) Building a global initiative, 3) Providing incentives & Reward for Knowledge Sharing, 4) Managing intellectual capital through virtual teams, 5) Establishing knowledge management into business processes, 6) Changing traditional knowledge flows, 7) Providing a common / compatible knowledge platform, and 8) Maintaining top management support. Examples of the Knowledge Management process provided illustration of the concept providing “The right answers at the right time in the right context to the right people.”

(TS/PM9) Speed as a Critical Factor for the Utilization of Technology Analysis: Semi-Automated Text Mining for Technology Intelligence, Alan Porter, Georgia Tech (23 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/FUTURES/MATIpresaug2001.ppt A Technology Analysis Utilization Model, based on experience, literature, and MOTI / CIMS research, includes four focal factors: 1) User factors, 2) Technology information product characteristics, 3) Respect / credibility, and 4) Communication. The Action component includes timely (2/3 want results within a week), useful, transparent, readily communicated materials. Data bases (inspect, EI Compendex, COS) were mined with VantagePoint software to generate “innovation indicators, with a scripted process. The resultant analyses provide “hot tech” profiles from over 10 million abstracted papers from a 16 question template and targeted 1 day generation of 50-100 emerging technologies.

(TS/PM10) Technology Tools and Processes as Potential Engines of Sustained Corporate Growth: MATI I Findings. John Peterson and Michael Radnor (will be posted shortly with link)The management gurus proclaim that ‘state-of-the-art’ product technology is a critical corporate asset and a formidable strategic weapon for achieving competitive advantage. Unfortunately, the ‘financial engineers’ who dominate capital markets continue to place a premium, not on intellectual capital and innovation capabilities, but on near-term share-of-market-capitalization growth. The unintended but immediate result is executive emphasis on reduced and more focused short-term low-risk incremental

26

investment and a longer-term reduction in the ability to generate disruptive technological innovation. This paper critically analyzes a generic model of the technology intensive firm based upon the value chains that underlie the model’s relative competitive capability. Demonstrated is the direct linkage of technology, multiple value chains to business goals and objectives. Manipulation of the value chain elements results in the quantum leaps in speed (to market), efficiency (margin and price) and quality (differentiation) that can help reestablish the strategic role of investment in technology in the mind of the financial engineers/analysts. The MATI I processes and tools provide an internal engine for generating sustained growth.

The automatic visualization of thousands of documents are enhanced with themes linked to key performance indicators to develop new relationships. The process is illustrated with examples of managed content “tool kits” for chemical synthesis, marketing campaigns, and technology development.

A web-enabled project planning process was developed that includes: 1) project office defines the generic process and creates individual project databases, 2) project management uses tools to manage a project, 3) tools are held in a single database, 4) many projects are consolidated into a single portfolio, and 5) providing senior management with the ability to review progress of an entire program at a glance. The program provides a 2-D analysis of all projects in a program, including resource scheduling and planning capabilities. Success factors included upper management sponsorship, a clearly defined R&D process, phased roll-out of key system functionality, and full user acceptance of the new system.

R&D Project information provides data for the risk assessment model. The steps in assembling and presenting technology portfolios are provided, including a research focus view as well as a project "bubble chart" assessed by technical and market success prospects.

(TS/PM14) Evolving Technology Portfolios, John Peterson (Lucent) (23 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/MATI-TEKPORT.pptThree critical portfolio issues are discussed: 1. how will the enterprise leverage technology to create value; 2. where will the enterprise invest to create value, and 3. how will the enterprise balance and communicate the knowledge created from technology investment? The discussion sets the scene for development of a case that includes the knowledge that creation of technology may be limited by the market/customer needs. The value of the content of the market basket of technology varies over time and that a mix of technologies to support multiple business options will drive positive financial contributions.

(TS/PM15) R&D Portfolio Planning: The Westinghouse Experience, William J. McAllister (Siemens Westinghouse) (55 slides PDF)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/portmgmt/R&D_Portfolio_Planning.pdfTwo methodologies for managing R&D portfolios are described. The first explicitly links R&D to strategy objectives. Importance rankings are converted into weights using Rank Order Centroids, then re-aggregated across objectives to provide normative guidance for funding allocation. The second uses real options pricing theory to value R&D projects. Options methods treat decision flexibility and uncertainty in a manner more appropriate to R&D than NPV methods, providing a cost-effective tool for portfolio optimization.

Purpose: Share information and decision tool. Audience: R&D, Marketing / Manufacturing clients, business management, top management. Portfolio process had the Overall Goals of: 1) communication, 2) allocation of resources, 3) development of strategy. An example of one operating process used the format of “basic ability to compete” vs. “prospects for

28

future profitability” with the area proportional to current sales. The goal of the process was communication and decisions were not based on matrix positions, but were influenced by them… sometimes simplicity exists for a reason. The challenge for a technology portfolio is how to impact the business.

(TS/PM17) Developing a R&D Portfolio Management Process" (case study) Ken Slepicka (Baxter) (20 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/PORT/Slepicka_Baxter_PortMgmt.ppt R&D Portfolio management is faced with a changing environment that is being pushed to be a more rigorous, fact-based process with management commitment. The Baxter program started in January 2000 and moved to a pilot May 2000 and was expanded to other R&D area by December. A cross-division approach started in early 2001 and was integrated with a corporate initiative Qtr 2 and finalized a year later. A scoring model includes the probabilities of technical and market success, fit with business strategy, and rewards. The Portfolio Map depicted project by enabling technology vs. customer value perception, with areas proportional to forecast project expense. The program includes sensitivity analysis for 1) revenue drivers, 2) cost drivers, 3) sales channel investment, 4) first to market, 5) delay / acceleration in launch, 6) regulatory approval. A “tornado diagram” provides means to characterize a project by commercial value given development success vs. a number of variables. The corporate initiative provides an integrated approach, consistency, and is the first step of financial evaluation. The program includes decision trees using a standard stage/gate process. Complex decision trees, with multiple commercial values, are analyzable through real options valuation processes. Next steps in the development process include: 1) finalize the financials, 2) development of a corporate portfolio decision process, and 3) implementation of a software / web-based system.

(TS/PM 18) Portfolio Management: An Overview and Proposed Agenda for MATI, Bill McAllister (Siemens Westinghouse) (48 slides PDF) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/PORT/PM_MATI_011029.pdf R&D Portfolio Management, a dynamic decision process, has grown through 3 stages 1.R&D as Overhead – pre 1960, 2. R&D as Strategy – 60s-80s, 3. Market-driven R&D – 90s) before the current Emerging Options Paradigm where R&D creates real value. Projects, ranging from new product through process and acquisition to capability building and basic investigation, may be aggregated to provide fewer entities to analyze at the risk of homogenization. A multi-attribute approach would assess the decision maker’s utility function after defining both goals and project attributes. Project valuation techniques include qualitative, scoring, ranking, and valuation, but should 1) encourage strategic thinking, be easy to apply, use defensible metrics, be zero-based, enforce a clear set of decision points, minimize gaming, and be theoretically sound. After

29

providing illustrations of each set, the concept of “option pricing” is advanced as a better means of project valuation. The commercial value is modeled as a call option on a real asset while the technical uncertainty and strategic fit are modeled as a compound option using a decision tree.

The "operationalized solutions" learning from MATI I provided the context for the use of scenarios to anticipate discontinuities and developing roadmapping as a core process to deal with intellectual capital and technology leverage. However, creating the linkages (e.g. between Voice of the Customer and Enabling Technologies) is a political process. This political process requires addressing business strategies in the context of both technology and markets and the use of scenarios to deal with technology evolution. The resultant functional business model suggests a third wave, technology-intensive enterprise will be faced with an influx of knowledge and technology, acting as an innovation stimulus and creating a new, self-adaptive organization.

This was accomplished through a 4 point program: 1) Forum process to capture manufacturing technology development at all locations by sharing databases, 2) Develop a process to establish lead responsibility for each technology, 3) Establish a model for global manufacturing R&D interaction and communication, and 4) Develop world-wide technology metrics and reporting processes.

(TE/TT6) Technology Transfer (Technology Ecology) Task Force Project Status Report, Jack Bishop (IBD/Kingsbury) 18 slides http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techtransfer/TT_TFProjsum0528.ppt Task Force goals were 1) characterize MATI company practices, 2) provide practical lessons for improvement, and 3) develop a practical context for research. The Baxter process was characterized as lacking complexity, with Ability to Absorb technology, while at industry standards, was the weakest aspect. Further analysis revealed that 1) averages don’t tell much of a story, 2) structure suggests both cause and effect, and 3) statistical analysis can provide estimates of the importance of factors, for instance that “comfort” lowers the ability to meet objectives while increasing the ability to meet budget and schedule targets. The imbalance of respondents (few from management or marketing) and small sample limits the ability to draw firm conclusions.

Lundquist with a discussion of Technology Transfer and the Value Chain (10 pages PDF) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techtransfer/tt_conception_to_delivery.pdfA model is proposed that integrates six phases of technology transfer into each step along the value chain form initial concept through manufacturing to products in customer hands. Management of each phase for each step leads to greater control, higher efficiency, and lower costs and frustration in the movement of technologies within product development. Indeed, the model leads to a true quality management system.

For this, a different kind of methodology is required, one that allows the researcher to look inside the "black box" of knowledge transfer and to generate theory that is grounded in what people inside organizations are thinking and doing. It looks inside the "box" of organizational learning and knowledge transfer to show contextually how an organizational routine and the process of transferring a technology from research and development (R&D) to a business unit operates in practice.

(TE/TT10) What's an Organizational Routine? ‘Unpacking Knowledge Management’, Daniel Levin, Discussion of success factors in technology roadmapping and technology transfer (53 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/org_routine.docBy focusing on the specific and crucial technology roadmapping (planning) and the technology transfer processes, as defined and described in more detail below, this research is able to ground the theories and concepts of knowledge and learning in what actually goes on in organizations. In 14 cases at four large companies, it may not be enough for organizational learning to take place if there is only an ability to absorb new knowledge and a high degree of comfort in doing so. Rather, supporters had to have the power and influence in the organization to make the knowledge flow happen, to overcome inertia. The paper shows how two critical, knowledge-intensive organizational routines (the technology roadmapping/planning process and the intra-company technology transfer process) operate in practice in multiple companies. It is based on a cross-case comparison at multiple firms.

To make these three concepts of ability, comfort and power more concrete, the study carries out an in-depth examination of each. It examines technology transfer as a management process (i.e., a repeated set of related activities) rather than as an event or as a strictly technical matter. However, rather than taking a reengineering approach of focusing on all of the specific tasks and various steps in the process, this study looks for central, underlying, theoretical elements of the process; i.e., what makes it "tick."

The main finding from this study is that, while the ability to absorb knowledge is important and has even received the bulk of attention in the organizational learning literature, this ability is not always enough for the process to work well. The problem occurs if project participants are too uncomfortable or if project supporters have too little power. Following an in-depth description of the three key ability, comfort and power elements of the technology transfer process, the study compares across eight MATI cases to see the effect that these had on the technology transfer outcomes.

2. TECHNOLOGY SOURCING, including Make vs Buy(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

The initial focus in this sub-area has been on benchmarking best practices and recognizing technology gaps. The make versus buy issue is being explored as part of a broader systems perspective with respect to technology sourcing. It is intended that technology sourcing be considered in relation to other organizational functions and processes including particularly strategic planning, portfolio management and roadmapping.

(TE/TS1) Technology Sourcing Perspectives from Siemens-Westinghouse, Harry Morehead (Siemens-Westinghouse) (11 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/source/Morehead_Siemens_Tsource_6_8_00.pdfPresents an overview of Siemens-Westinghouse (SWPC) particularly the Advanced Turbine System Technologies, details the process SWPC used to obtain and apply thermosonic imaging technology from Wayne State University, and identifies lessons learned about finding, licensing and further developing technology. Not evident in the slides but clear from discussion is the importance of personal relationships and internal championing in sourcing.

(TE/TS2) Technology Sourcing at Kraft, Susan Gaud (Kraft) (10 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/secure/source/Kraft_technology_sourcing.pptProvides an overview of technology sourcing needs and the approach in development at Kraft. Technology sourcing is growing in importance as the firm becomes more technology concerned. The presentation discusses the processes and strategies evolving in this area, in comparison with the approaches that have been used in the company, heretofore.

(TE/TS3) Technology Foresight as a Key Element in Make-or-Buy Strategy, David Probert, Laura Cáñez, Rob Phaal, Cambridge University (6 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/secure/articles/techstgy/Technology_Foresight_Probert.docThis paper discusses the need to foresee technology requirements and trends when undertaking a make-or-buy analysis. Decisions that seem "right" today may not be right for the future. Technology analysis requirements for make or buy strategy are reviewed and the contribution of current and emerging technology foresight techniques.

This paper discusses different options for technology sourcing following a strategic make-or-buy analysis. Selling, licensing-out, creating alliances, licensing-in and acquisitions are some of the possible options presented. Industrial cases are used to illustrate technology sourcing alternatives.

(TE/TS5) Scouting for New Technology- Approaches for Going Beyond the Obvious, Bob Levi, Technology Sourcing International (7 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techtransfer/Levi_May2001_MATI.ppt Technology Scouting involves scanning and monitoring new technical development to channel information to appropriate experts within the company and may assist in acquiring or transferring technology from external sources, including buying a company or hiring key people. A key reason for a formal scouting program is saving the money and time to develop something already developed somewhere else, and new products or processes may be found along the way. In addition to three case examples, types of events to attend and databases were illustrated. While consultants and vendors are obvious sources of technology, competency, knowledge base, and honesty can be sought, but creativity can only be encouraged. The example at Baxter of a failure rate of 99.8% still yielded a ROI of 350% for the million dollar (annual) program.

(TE/TS6) MATI Technology Sourcing Survey, Jack Bishop (CTIM/IBD/Kingsbury) (26 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/SOURCE/TechSour0917.ppt Technology Sourcing includes topics of technology valuation, make / buy for research, Internet-based tools (including technology exchanges) and a Benchmarking Survey to assess current practices in these areas. The MATI survey covered 16 respondents from 11 of the 17 MATI companies, reporting that the sourcing process begins with a technological opportunity and proceeds through a formalized (generally continuous) process. Potential sources of technology are varied with none standing out, but most use only one traditional source and two Internet sources (at least one a generalized search engine). The success of the process was self-rated 4 (1-7 scale where 7 is high). The lack of measures of performance (3 none, 4 informal) constrains the ability to improve effectiveness. Telephone interviews were completed with representatives of 31 of Industry Week best managed 100 technical firms. Over the past 2 years, the respondents reported from 2 to 20,000 incidents of technology sourcing (median 25) with a median success rate of 5. Case studies (26 successful, 17 unsuccessful, 24 indeterminate projects) provide a view of the technology sourcing process. Since the time from initiation to endpoint for successful projects was half the time for unsuccessful ones, success may be measured by speed in today’s corporate environment. Mentioned practices provide an idea of what was done,

3. IP MANAGEMENT

(TE/IP1) Intellectual Property – Prerequisite Competence and Competitive Capabilities for the Next Millennium: A View from the Business Unit, John Peterson (Lucent) (21 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/secure/TechMgmt/Peterson_IP.pptThis presentation describes in summary form the central components and functional requirements of an IP system of protection (patents, copyrights, etc.). The discussion allows discussion of the assessment, strategies and execution requirements that link IP strategy and innovation drivers and the resulting IP values, in terms of alignment, leverage and returns; the exhibits go on to show how these considerations play out in the corporate battle-space. The strategic importance of aligning strategy and the intellectual capital of the technology to be leveraged to produce corporate returns is also described. Such analysis can then be fed into the construction of IP and operational roadmaps.

TECHNOLOGY ECOLOGY TASK FORCE UPDATES (includes updates of previously independent Technology Transfer, Technology Sourcing and IP Management task forces)

(TE/TT5) Technology Transfer Task Force Report, Mike Scharf & Jack Bishop, April 5-9, 2000, 9 slideshttp://mati.ncms.org/secure/notes/techtransfer-notes/TechTransferTF_1.pptThree projects formed core activities of the technology transfer task force. The “Baxter” project focused on characterizing, through interviews and an e-mail survey, the IV Systems product stage-gate development process. The “Rockwell” project highlighted one or two key success factors from five completed programs through interviews with both supplier and recipient of the technology. The Rockwell project was left with pending participation in a MATI Benchmarking Survey. Participation in the benchmarking survey was the initial activity of the Siemens project. A special Task Force meeting was convened to hear a description of the Ford Motor Company Forum system to manage the introduction of new technology into the manufacturing process.

(TE/TT6) Technology Transfer task force report: Practices at Baxter, Ford, Rockwell Automation and Siemens Westinghouse 27 slides, October 24-25, 2000http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techtransfer/combined1000MATI.ppt The Task Force focus was on intra-firm transfer of technology from R&D to Manufacturing with goals to complete an internal assessment of member firms to a) identify best practices, b) identify opportunities for

39

improvement, and c) document results. The process at Baxter was characterized by both surveys and interviews, focusing on three aspects of the process leading to specific outcomes: 1) ability to absorb technology, 2) comfort, 3) Power & Influence. The Rockwell process reviewed 5 programs but were unable to proceed either to interviews or surveys. Siemens focused on the transfer between SWPC and external organizations, from government agencies to consumers and suppliers.

ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES(Unless otherwise noted, “slides”are in Power Point, “pages”are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

The Organizational Issues task-force is working on such issues as: Enhancing the "voices" of customers and technology within the organization; achieving buy-in for MATI processes from upper management and key groups; forming appropriate working teams for roadmapping, scenario planning, etc.; integration with strategic, marketing and other processes; developing and achieving internal organizational standards including dealing with changes; defining the role and position of a "standards unit" and integrating standards thinking with other management processes; developing a taxonomy of variables in organization cultures and structures (culture, structure, knowledge) significantly impacting on technology management processes (product development, innovation, etc.).

(ORG1) Getting Buy-In for Roadmapping, Tom Kappel (Lucent) (2 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/secure/notes/organization-notes/org_taskforce_projects.pptThere is sometimes trouble starting roadmapping in one part of the business or reviving it after it has stalled. This is discussed as a problem of at least two factors: buy-in and skills. The buy-in problem is proposed as a research topic with unique contributions to organizational behavior and practical deliverables to industry. A second proposed project involves the way corporate information is used (and ignored) by roadmap teams. Are the boxes and arrows we draw about information flow really true? See also organizational issues in Roadmapping section.

(ORG2) Development of an Integrated New Product Development Process at Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Bob McCarthy (Roche) (16 pages, pdf)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/road/rmbnpd0304.pdfThe foundation for the current process was laid with the implementation of a stage-gate process in 1989. The process was improved over the years, leading to development of a portfolio management process (1998). The process improved understanding between business and technical

components of the organization while revealing a scarcity of new ideas to develop breakthrough products.

(ORG3) Knowledge Management Across IBM, Tom Luin (IBM) (58 pages, pdf)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/IBM%20KM%20Presentation%20to%20MATI.pdf The challenge of Knowledge Management is illustrated by 22 terabytes of data on the web added to 11 terabytes on corporate file servers. Employees, Partners, Customers, etc. all have too much information to be either efficient, responsive, or innovative. A portal is presented as the basis for connecting people to content, applications, and other people. The key factors are: 1) Connecting to all constituencies using multiple devices, 2) Creating and leveraging shared pools of knowledge, 3) personalizing content, and 4) dynamic response to evolving business conditions. Examples of the IBM intranet provide illustrations of the reduction to practice.

(ORG4) E-Business Security: Protecting Yourself, Your Networks, and Your Customer's Information, Tom Luin (IBM) (34 pages, pdf)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/IBM's_e-Business_Security_for_MATI.pdf Security needs for e-business are stated in terms of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) dimensions. These needs are addressed from a set of seven Security Principles: 1) Deploy and manage trusted credentials and I&A protocols, 2) Control access to stored information consistent with roles, responsibilities, and privacy policies, 3) Control access to, and use of, systems and processes consistent with roles and responsibilities, 4) Protect information stored, or in transit, consistent with information classification control and flow policies, 5) Assure the correct and reliable operation of components & services, 6) Defend against attacks, and 7) Defend against fraud. The Method for Architecting Secure Solutions (MASS) was developed to deliver a security architecture that is complete, comprehensive, and closely tied to business requirements as well as give enhanced design efficiency, reduced cost, and shortened time scales.

STANDARDS MANAGEMENT(Unless otherwise noted, “slides”are in Power Point, “pages”are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

Excellence in strategic global standards management, which cuts across many corporate functions and the technology and business value chain, has become a vital component of competitiveness but its tools, practices and training resources are highly under-developed. MATI, in collaboration with key industry and standards associations and players, is encouraging the development of this field and the practices and structures required to perform at the level needed.

(T&M2) Marketing with Pocket Protectors" (Technology Innovation in a Marketing-driven Firm), Dennis Braswell (Coca-Cola) (16 slides), http://mati.ncms.org/secure/TechMgmt/MATI_BRASWELL_TALK.pptA marketing-driven company technology innovation can be found in the product, what the customer sees and touches and in infrastructure. At such companies, technology innovation generally comes in at the last two and so starts disadvantaged. In Coca-Cola, the main product is over 100 years old and not targeted for change. In a marketing driven company innovation implies: 1) focusing on new products (or features), selling channels, promotions, and advertisements, 2) no aroma of technology, 3) instant results - marketers then move on to the next thing (not, ostensibly, a recipe for technology), and 4) that trade puffery is OK, indeed, exalted.  Keys to technology success are credibility; understanding the business by knowing the company’s vision and how everyone contributes to it; getting out of the lab (what ís going on the street as well as in the world of technology; strong relationships and good communications; and being creative about technology sourcing.

II) The technology centipede results from some of the world’s leading technology, strength in high tech, focus on traditional manufacturing technology, and backward technology in vast rural areas. III) The five main drivers are: 1) government investment, 2) foreign direct investment, 3) worldwide competition, 4) privatization, and 5) entrepreneurship. IV) The current condition presents the dilemma of leapfrogging, since China is a late comer, the challenges of evolution and revolution, and advantages and

disadvantages of alternative approaches, and the potential traps, including path-dependence and polarization of exploitation vs. exploration. V) The dichotomy between technology and business strategy involved innovation patterns, learning, transition, make or buy, and out-sourcing. VI) In the development, crises and chaos are possible due to paradigm shifting, disruptive technology, shifting product platforms, old maps combined with new locations, and hyper-competition from globalization. Finally, VII) the implications of the above 6 characteristics require consideration of the window of learning (catching up), the dynamics of gradation, value creation, global supply chain, and strategy for secondary innovation.
