3 Just imagine, I snap my fingers today, right now, and immediately (insert drama@c pause here)... YOU ARE THE SMARTEST PERSON ON THE PLANET! Two weeks from now you will want to jump from a very high place. WHY?!? Because being the smartest person on the planet doesn t mean much if you can t get people to do anything about it!

4 We split atoms We transplant hearts But we are s4ll tripped up by SILOS?!?! REALLY? COME-ON!!!

5 We teach, write and work in silos And are then mys4fied, we have a problem SILOS?! REALLY? COME-ON!!!

6 Kring & Co. 6

7 Why does this happen? We need to STOP DOING THIS! How the customer explained it How the Project Leader understood it How the Analyst designed it How the Programmer wrote it How the Business Consultant described it How the project was What installed How the customer How it was supported What the customer documented was billed really needed 7

8 Some have focused on product for so long they don t know how to innovate in any other areas. For example, in 2010, MicrosoV one of the world s best product innovators for the last two decades launched a social phone called Kin. The product was a complete disaster. Within six weeks of the launch, the en@re product group was shut down, and, according to their earnings reports, MicrosoC took at least a $240 million write-off. How could such a great product innovator strike out so fast? In today s climate, it happens to the best. To achieve sustainable growth, companies must beyer integrate product innova4on with business model, process, and service innova4ons. Kring & Co. 8

13 Ques4ons: How does all of this fit together? How do we really best all of this? Culturally is this going to have more staying power than a confeb canon? Kring & Co. 13

14 Profitability best ensured by knowing how to op4mize the whole, not just the parts

15 What are we really trying to solve for? 15

16 B T H E F L O W O F B U S I N E S S A 16

17 There is a beyer way! Take three groups of people -- have each group assemble the same jigsaw puzzle The first group with the puzzle pieces face down The second group with the pieces face up The third group with the pieces face up and with a copy of the puzzle box lid Which group is going to be the happiest, the fastest, the most produc4ve? WHY? 17

18 Profitability for who? Poten4al Profitability for the Company Profitability for the Customer 18

19 The Importance of Balance Poten4al Profitability for the Company Profitability for the Customer BALANCING POINT 19

20 Profitability for the Customer: An Exercise What is the most you are willing to pay for a gallon of milk? Before you won t buy it anymore? But wait... it is only sold in gallons, and everyone sells it for the same price. Now what is the most you are willing to pay? 20

21 How it all fits together informs HOW WE...

28 Lessons: When you ask a logical ques@on, you get a logical answer But there can be a huge difference between stated value and what is actually valued Henry Ford If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. 28

29 Lesson: Metrics alone is not enough, you need to know how they fit together! How do these numbers relate to each other? Is this number supposed to be 5X higher? How do we these? 29
