9. The Big Change The Economics of Disruption Society’s Attitude Toward Disruption and Disruptors

10. The Big Change The Choice Set

11. The Economics of Disruption Historically it typically took about $20 million to get a product to market. You had to hire a sales force. You had to pay for advertising. Innovation/invention was expensive. You had to buy the hardware. You had to buy the software licenses.

12. The Economics of Disruption With cloud, open source software and social media it has never been cheaper to bring a product/service to market. Bill Janeway, Ph.d from University of Cambridge at Warburg Pincus tells the students in his class, “Guys you don’t need your parent’s charge card you can use your own. You can do it on your own.” This new economics means SO MANY MORE Start-ups. So many more choices for CIOs.

13. The Economics of Disruption Historically there were only a few places you could go for venture funding Historically, capital was expensive

20. The Opportunity Set For the first time in at least 10 years, CIOs are being asked to do unstructured problem-solving. IT is no longer just about “fixing something,” “deploying something” or “optimizing something.” IT is being asked to envision and create the future.

21. Visual Metaphor for the Opportunity Set In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade the evil protagonist [Walter Donovan played by Julian Glover] attempts to select the authentic Holy Grail from a shelf of poisoned knock offs.

22. Donovan makes his choice and his head explodes. The semi-supernatural, 150-year-old Grail Guardian/Knight [played by Robert Eddison] comments, “He chose poorly.” Visual Metaphor for the Opportunity Set

23. Observation The mechanisms whereby most organizations create and evaluate their opportunity set are broken.

24. TODAY –they are kind of gimmicky, they are not that common but they are used. We are going to need a bigger boat! Visual Metaphor for the Opportunity Set
