2 The Technology Adoption Model as the Basis for Segment Focus A measure of the rate of adop/on of a cluster of new technologies by a community over /me Where are you on this curve? 2

3 Consider adaptation of a new Personal Assistant Technology Age? Income? Geography? Education? Sex? 3

4

5 Why should a customer adopt a new technology? Early adopter? Late majority? 5

6 Can corporate customers be characterized in a similar way? Are there companies who are leaders Are there companies who are followers? What determines whether a company will be aggressive in adopting a new technology? 6

7 Who are the Innovation leaders? Aviation Computers Hardware Computers software Biotech Energy Medical devices 7

8 Who are the Innovation leaders? Aviation Computers Hardware Computers software Biotech Energy Medical devices 8

9 Who are the Innovation leaders? Aviation Computers Hardware Computers software Biotech Energy Medical devices 9

10 Who are the Innovation leaders? Aviation Computers Hardware Computers software Biotech Energy Medical devices 10

11 Who are the Innovation leaders? Aviation Computers Hardware Computers software Biotech Energy Medical devices 11

12 Who are the Innovation leaders? Aviation Computers Hardware Computers software Biotech Energy Medical devices 12

13 Example: A new medical imaging methodology (MRI+) Top 100 Teaching Institutions Mass of US Hospitals What is the motivation of these customers? 13

14 Example: A new medical imaging methodology (MRI+) Top 100 Teaching Institutions Mass of US Hospitals Top 15 Luminary Medical Centers I love writing papers and Peer approval 14

15 Example: A new medical imaging methodology (MRI+) Top 100 Teaching Institutions Mass of US Hospitals Top 15 Luminary Medical Centers Can I build my practice by doing better surgery? 15

16 Example: A new medical imaging methodology (MRI+) Top 100 Teaching Institutions Mass of US Hospitals Top 15 Luminary Medical Centers Can I recover my Fees from insurer and keep my patients? 16

17 Example: A new medical imaging methodology (MRI+) Top 100 Teaching Institutions Mass of US Hospitals Top 15 Luminary Medical Centers I love writing papers and Peer approval Can I build my practice by doing better surgery? Can I recover my Fees from insurer and keep my patients? 17

18 Thus for medical imaging equipment (MRI, PET, Ultrasound, X-Ray etc.) GE Strategy Target segment: a few luminary institutions 18

23 Thus for medical imaging equipment (MRI, PET, Ultrasound, X-Ray etc.) GE Strategy Target segment: a few luminary institutions You get the point! 23

24 Thus for medical imaging equipment (MRI, PET, Ultrasound, X-Ray etc.) GE Strategy Target segment: a few luminary institutions Presentation at large professional meetings and Publication in peer-reviewed journals; Sell to larger hospitals Reduce price, de-feature and sell to smaller institutions Globalize to Europe and Asia (typically lower cost) Move to service model of installed base 24

30 Use www/library Data Base Sources to Determine: Major trends in technology, standards, regulations (Barriers and enablers) Drivers and barriers to growth- consider rate of market adoption Business model options and key players (competitors/ partners) at each layer of the food chain Size of segment, major sub-segments/rough distribution of market revenues/units Forecasts or prognostications of rate of segment growth Value chain, ecosystem and customer players 30

35 What about dealing with large industrial companies (e.g., OEMs)? Are all customers the same? Look for the Teacher customer Not always easy to find! Opinion Leader/Respected Early adopter of New Technologies In pain Influencer Inside company Within industry 35

36 The Teacher customer is necessary To teach you your value and your position in the market To provide credibility to investors, employees, partners To strongly influence other early adopters To co-create your product strategy, priorities and plans To generate early revenue from volume deployments To be patient with your failures 36

37 Finding the Teacher Customer 1. Talk to friends and friends of friends (Mentor(s), academics, experts) Network!! 2. Do your (secondary literature research) homework. Use Library and Internet. Consultant studies? Kristin can help get you started here. 3. Industry Groups, Publications can very helpful 4. Develop hypotheses and assumptions you MUST validate 5. Review literature to identify community influencers and potential Innovators Each segment has Innovator companies Every company has Innovator individuals (the go-to person) 6. Look for Scientific or Journal publications/ Contact author 37

38 Finding the Teacher customer 7. Talk to the wrong people to get to the right people 8. Assemble your interview tools: 60 second elevator pitch 2-pager on what it is Open ended questions Interviewee should do 90% of the talking 9. Say thank-you, follow-up and nurture the relationship as appropriate 38

72 How does your Industry look?

73 Secondary Research Where to find it? Google, Internet Patent search find alternatives, competitors Scientific Publications search Current Events related to technology Economist, newspapers Research key components separately Stock market/financial stmt analysis Industry journals Use Caltech Research librarian Kristen Buxton Check out imitators tag-along industries Company news release Consultant reports ask Library for help, reimbursement available

74 Primary research Network! Exploit the Caltech connection! Customers/Users of Technology Alumni contacts Family contacts Industry analysts Scientific/engineering/Industry Conferences and Proceedings Companies/Institutions involved in Technology (Research Labs) Competitive Technology Companies

75 Interviewing techniques How many people? At least 2 Try to have same team going to each one Break up roles: Recorder, also can record it Person asking questions Observer note body-language, come up with addtl questions Go in with a script questions want to answer Update based on results before next one How fast should you recap and write down conclusions Right away!

76 Interviewing techniques Inform them also what you want to ask about Work around their schedule Telephone interview or video conference also option Freeconference.com access Ask them who else you should speak to Follow up with thank-you , that evening You should start on arranging appts ASAP This is the rate-limiting step!
