transform?

@dadovanpeteghem
How can you
transform?

@dadovanpeteghem
1. Forget ideas
Start solving problems
CITIZEN 
EXPERIENCE

SO HOW
ABOUT
VIRTUAL
REALITY?
@dadovanpeteghem
Stop looking at technology
WHAT CAN
WE DO
WITH
BEACONS?
SHOULDN’T
WE
USE
DRONES?
DON’T WE
NEED A
MOBILE
APP?

@dadovanpeteghem
Stop looking for ideas

@dadovanpeteghem
If your idea failed, it’s
because it didn’t solve an
important problem for a
large enough audience

@dadovanpeteghem
Start solving problems

@dadovanpeteghem
Problem Transformation Canvas
PROBLEM
EMOTIONS
SOLUTION
FUNCTIONS
PRODUCT OR SERVICE
CHANGE CURRENCY
(benefits)
TECHNOLOGY
What problem are we solving
and for who?
What are the basic emotions that problem
and solution are addressing?
What is the overall solution
that would fix this problem?
What are the different functions
a customer would expect this
solution to have?
What could eventually be the
product or service that we are
selling?
What technology is most suited
and relevant to build this?
What are the benefits and
are they strong enough to
have people change their
preference?

2. Involve everyone
Intrapreneurship
CULTURE

@dadovanpeteghem
FROM
day-to-day
zombification
TO
creating
momentum

@dadovanpeteghem
Everybody can have your  
“one million dollar”
solution

@dadovanpeteghem
Imagine that Sony
didn’t let Ken Kutaragi
work on its idea…

@dadovanpeteghem
Or that Google
didn’t let Paul Buchheit
work on its idea…

@dadovanpeteghem
In 1975, this Kodak employee
invented the digital camera.
His bosses made him hide it.

@dadovanpeteghem
You need a culture that
stimulates & rewards
employees to think like
intrapreneurs.

@dadovanpeteghem
Disproportionate
autonomy
is what people
need to succeed

@dadovanpeteghem
3. Disrupt your business model
before somebody else does
BUSINESS
MODEL

@dadovanpeteghem
If we don’t create the
thing that kills Facebook,
someone else will.
“Embracing change” isn’t enough.
It has to be so hardwired into who
we are that even talking about it
seems redundant.
The internet is not a friendly place.
Things that don’t stay relevant don’t
even get the luxury of leaving ruins.
They disappear.

Do you have a future 2020 vision on how
digital is transforming your service and
how you need to act upon that?

Fast is better than slow.
While slow is adding
unnecessary
embellishments, fast is out
in the world. 
And that means fast can
learn from experience while
slow can only theorize.
Those who ship quickly can
improve quickly.
So fast doesn’t just win the
race. It gets a head start for
the next one.
