  2. Centres of Excellence – Traditional Approach • Physically co-locate people and infrastructure • Specific areas of science/technology • Specific infrastructure • Mission oriented: different skills same mission

  3. Integrating Nature of Information and Communication Technologies • Removes many barriers associated to distance • Note: does not eliminate the value of proximity • Allows dispersal of personnel • Allows leverage of existing resources – regardless of location

  4. Networks of Excellence • But what should one network? • What should one create? • What should one maintain?

  5. Portfolio Approach • What do we currently have and where is it? • Avoid over replication/duplication • Where are the gaps that should be filled? • Where are the synergies? • How do the skills relate to each other? • Are there core competencies? • Are we maintaining old competencies?

  6. Considering Inter-Relations • Independent • Replacement • Interdependent • Synergistic • Correlation http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fXEKwjcLuS0/TjbaBG88giI/AAAAAAAAAgE/CR2HiCUpe0Q/s1600/robert-palmer-girls.jpg http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/photos/channels-of-distribution-166.jpg http://www.masterinternationalcommunication.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/synergy-7661.jpg http://www.h2euro.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/independent.jpg

  7. Understanding What We Have • What we have versus What we should have - Identifying the gaps • Where is co-location valuable? • Where is separation valuable?

  8. Understanding Which Linkages to Change • Where is redundancy valuable? • Where is coordination valuable? • What is related and what is independent?

  9. In Conclusion • ICT Changes the nature of Centres of Excellence • Now it is easier to be more strategic • Not advocating central planning • Advocating avoidance of herd behaviour or pursuing fads and fashion
