We live in an instrumented, interconnected, intelligent world 1 billion + transistors 500,000,000 GB for each person on the planet global internet traffic volume expected by 2013 30 billion RFID tags 15 petabytes embedded into our world and into our products of new information being generated every day 2 billion people 1 trillion are on the internet devices attached to “Internet of things”
Tackling problems that are relevant …in all aspects of the economy Health Care Public Transport Government Law Enforcement Environment Telecom Manufacturing Traffic Control Fraud Prevention
Trends 1: Leading the evolution of the thinking machine The New IT Frontier Learning Systems Watson (2010) Deep Blue (1997) ENIAC (Circa 1945) Computer Intelligence Over Time Counting Machine (Circa 1820) Napier’s Rods (Circa 1600) Astronomical Computer (87 BC) Abacus (Circa 3500 BC) Cognitive computing aims to create computer systems that can deal with ambiguity and learn over time
Trends 2: Intelligence, from data, is changing the game … organizations are operating with blind spots Lack of Insight 1 in 3 managers frequently make critical decisions without the information they need VOLUME of Digital Data Inefficient Access 1 in 2 don’t have access to the information acrosstheir organization needed to do their jobs VARIETY of Information Inability to Predict 3 in 4 business leaders say more predictiveinformation would drive better decisions VELOCITY of Decision Making Source: IBM Institute for Business Value
Trends 3: Cities are getting smarter By 2050, city dwellers are expected to make up 70% of Earth’s total population or 6.4 billion people! Government Services Public Safety Transportation Interconnected Education Energy Instrumented Intelligent Telecommunications Healthcare
Standouts capitalize on complexity in three ways • Creativity is #1 leadership quality • Drive change in the organization to stay ahead of market and use a wide range of communication styles and tools • Break with status quo of industry, enterprise and revenue models • “Getting closer to customers” is the single most important theme • Better understand customer needs through collaboration and info sharing • Exploit the information explosion to deliver unprecedented customer service • Simplify operations and products to better manage complexity • Use iterative strategies, make quick decisions and execute with speed • Integrate globally, increase cost variability and exploit partnering to increase agility
Are you ready?! • If nothing changes, nothing changes: What did you do different? • Do you –personally- have the global network and reach to make change happen? • Did your skillset changed / improved in the past year? • Are you working on solutions for which we did not define the problem yet? • Did you notice that the talent in your organization is changing?
Agenda What’s going on in the world Where technology is heading How to make it work for you 1 2 3
What problems are we trying to solve? 3.7 billion 25 billion $93 billion Total sales missed each year because retailers don’t stock the right products to meet customer demand. Lost hours and 2.3b gallons of gas is the annual impact of congested roadways in the U.S. alone. Global trading systems are under extreme stress, handling billions of market data messages each day. 170 billion Kilowatt hours wasted yearly by consumers due to insufficient power usage information. 100 million People worldwide are pushed below the poverty line by personal healthcare expenditures.
