  1. Ontario Network of Excellence Programs and Services Confidential Draft For Discussion Purposes – Subject to Change January 13, 2010

  2. Meeting Goals • To determine how best to link resources and deliver programs and services at the regional level. • To review the proposed ONE programs and services. • To review the ONE business planning framework and process. • To discuss the ONE charter.

  3. Regional Delivery Framework Mesh Network Model • The Network will be based on a “mesh” network with multiple entry points rather than a hub and spoke model. A mesh network is designed to bring the best resource and expertise in the province to support the defined needs of any client, regardless of the location of either. • A successful mesh network is achievable by ensuring all members are capable of both exchanging and gaining access to information and resources across the network. • This model requires a funding structure that enables organizations to build trusting relationships with other member organizations as well as to ensure alignment and foster collaboration. • More established regions coordinating ONE program and service delivery in other regions such a Windsor, Sarnia, Halton Region, etc. Centralized Coordination and Support • OCE will be responsible for the coordination of the programs & services where companies want to collaborate with a public research institution including applied research and/or access new discoveries or technologies. • MaRS will be responsible for the coordination of programs & services that directly support entrepreneurs and companies such as training, business mentorship, market intelligence, product development and access to equity capital. • Resources of both organizations will be available to support RIC activities as it pertains to the delivery of client programs and services. Regional Delivery • A coherent and effective provincial network requires programs that are developed and supported centrally, but delivered regionally — where clients are located. • While services must be available throughout the province, resources must also follow demand, ensuring areas with a critical mass of ideas and talent receive enough support to compete globally. • Requires a team approach to address client needs. Sector-based Expertise • This will include specialized services such as: knowledge of the sector, academic resources (e.g. researchers, equipment, etc.), specific regulations, and other knowledge to help clients bring products or services to market • Sector-based expertise will be provincially focused and coordinated to deliver sector specific expertise to clients. • SICs will support RICs as required.

  4. Regional Delivery Model • Support the co-location of regional resources (e.g., EIRs, OCE staff, IRAP staff, CCR staff, research institutions, etc.). • Optimize program delivery through a matrix model for both BAP and IACP based on the role of each organization in developing, accessing and implementing ONE programs and services. • Multi-organizational “team” approach at the regional level to identify new and emerging technologies and companies; and implement ONE and other programs and services. • Ensure the BAP and IACP manual offerings are integrated, thus directing clients along a seamless continuum of program support.

  5. Regional Delivery Model (cont.) • Team approach – establish an alliance between organizations to link clients to relevant resources. Will help to manage the pipeline of innovative companies. • The team approach will include: • Use of a common client intake form • Regular meeting every 2 to 3 weeks • Identification of new opportunities • Group brainstorming to determine the type and level of resources that should be provided (by each organization) • Status update on existing clients

  6. Regional Delivery Model (cont.)Brainstorming Session • Is the delivery process optimal? • Are there any concerns with the proposed model? • Are there any other program and service delivery factors to consider? • How will RICs’ measure success?

  7. IACP • Collaborative Commercialization • Technical-Problem Solving • College Applied R&D • Collaborative Research • Market Readiness • Technology Transfer Partnership • Technology Transfer Networks • Institutional Proof of Principle • Knowledge Exchange • Talent • Connections • Value Added Personnel • Outreach Scholarship • Entrepreneur Development • First Job

  8. IACP Delivery Structure(excluding Technology Transfer Partnerships) • OCE Business Development Manager (BDM) will be either co-located or located near RIC or SIC. • OCE BDM participates in regular RIC meetings and activities. • OCE BDM delivers IACP program offering. • OCE BDM will provide feedback to RICs on program status (will have common client management system). • RICs will be able to engage industry in potential new partnerships. • RICs may have a specific role re: business acceleration activities for IACP clients. Need systematic approach at the regional level. Business and market analysis may be part of IACP funding requirements.

  12. IACP Brainstorming Session • Macro IACP Discussion • Do we have all the necessary programs and services to address the needs of clients? • What are the high priority program components given current budget constraints? • Do you think the proposed suite of programs and services address the needs of all types of clients ranging from researchers to MNEs? • Are the eligibility requirements appropriate? Are they appropriate for all sizes of companies?

  13. BAP • Advisory & Mentorship • Entrepreneurs-in-Residence • Analysts • Embedded Executives • Volunteer Mentors • Peer to Peer • Entrepreneurial Education & Training • Online Entrepreneurial Education • Introductory Entrepreneurial Training Courses • Advanced Entrepreneurial Training Courses • Market Intelligence • Market Intelligence Service • Capital • Investment Accelerator Fund • Angel Network Program • Capital Networks • Business Project Fund

  22. BAP Brainstorming Session • Macro BAP Specific • Do we have all the necessary programs and services to address the needs of clients? • What are the high priority program components given current budget constraints? • Do you think the proposed suite of programs and services address the needs of all types of clients ranging from researchers to MNEs? • Are the eligibility requirements appropriate? Are they appropriate for all sizes of companies? • Program Specific • Entrepreneurs-in-Residence: To maintain EIR provincial coordination, EIRs will be paid for (i.e. be employees of) BAP. • Analysts: Due to human resource requirements, Analysts will likely need to be employed by a RIC; however, Analysts will be provincial resources, and BAP will manage the provincial coordination of Analysts. • Embedded Executives: Clients will access the Embedded Executive component via a RIC; however approval to receive funding under the Embedded Executive component will be provincial. • Business Project Funding: Is there a need to break this component into a separate component that would be focused on product to market intelligence and alliances? What are the financial needs of clients that would access this program – is $20,000 too high?

  23. ONE Business Planning Process • A fully integrated regional business plan: • MRI -- Core funding (via ONE Program) • MaRS -- BAP resources and funding • OCE -- IACP resources and funding • Multi-year agreements with annual funding allocations: • Funding based on demand for programs and services • Three separate agreements (MRI, MaRS and OCE) • Common reporting template • Semi-annual review will be conducted by MRI, MaRS and OCE. • Annual review of plans by ONE advisory board, based on recommendations of OCE and MaRS. • Annual business plan will be required.
