5 Our Beginnings (2010)

6 Where We Came From Copyright 2016 Buckham and Duffy

7 Where We Came From B&D extended its major client portfolio to include impressive brands, as well as major partnerships with Google and others. Introduced new management staff and refined service line offering focused on innovative methods, emerging technology and high risk, high reward projects. Major client successes built on our array of case studies. Major thought leadership opportunities extended B&D s ability to demonstrate expertise.

9 Our innovation ecosystem. Collaboration is key to balancing risk against RoI or threats against opportunities. We believe that by connecting each other we become greater than the sum of our parts. The fruits of research achieve common good through being widespread, and ideas spread most rapidly through commercialisation. That s where our industrial players come in: Startups and tech companies pioneer and test new concepts. Big enterprises and capitalists fuel the journey, fast-track growth, and take on some of the risk to share some of the rewards. Government steadily works towards a fairer playing field for innovators, from local councils to global summits. But nobody gets any of this done without a piece that connects these together and can speak in all their different, esoteric languages.

10 FAILING ACCELERATED OUR GROWTH

11 Unprecedented low prices for electronic devices The Digital Boom Why is everything changing so quickly right now? Easier than ever to program, and to learn how to program High availability of digital talent worldwide Demand for digital systems for businesses to stay competitive

12 Globalisation makes market competition high. Automated supply chains mean that local isn t important in the price factor.

13 A Bit About B&D Hardware is insanely cheap now.

14 Goodbye Moores Law It s no longer enough to just be more productive or more efficient. You must be willing to change constantly.

15 We need to take more RISK. Australia spends 0.6% in comparison to the USA s investment in new technology innovations. The approach to building strategy and understanding the risk around emerging technologies has had a huge negative impact on SME/enterprise collaboration and has slowed the movement of technology between the sectors.

23 Rapid Product Development Requires Deep Collaboration Agile mentality is expanding from tiny dev teams to the whole ecosystem Research Facilities Startups & SME s Enterprise Government

24 Agile values Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Agile is about developing software in a more human way. Working software over comprehensive documentation Agility relies on a lean methodology that foregoes the unnecessary. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Projects are creative partnerships rather than merchant/client transactions. Responding to change over following a plan Agile requires a balance of discipline and flexibility. Excerpts from Manifesto for Agile Software Development (2001)

25 The agile movement s highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. DevOps is the result of agile methodologies bridging the gap between software developers and business people. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. - Excerpts from Manifesto for Agile Software Development (2001)
