A key component of a global EU policy • The Union has set an objective for the next decade …Lisbon council: “To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.” - in 2010 (enlargement!) • eEurope: A major instrument to attain this objective

38. Trends: Shift to Intangibles Success Factors: • Network Capabilities • internally • externally • Innovation Skills • Knowledge Management • >Favors the knowledge work which is location independent!

39. Trends: The extended product The challenge of the SCM systems is to integrate the very different components integrated in the whole life cycle of a product tangible/intangible services and relations -mimimising cost -maximising value t -controllable, analytical -unpredictable, synthetical, lateral, creative -vendor-focus -customer-focus Moment of “purchase” Favors the service industry close to the user

40. Trends in Products • Increased computing and communications power • products with embedded intelligence: • lifecycle management • services with embedded intelligence: • enhanced relationship management • intangible products: • digital content and embedded services • > Extended products and embedded sercvices! • Need for strongly lateral interconnections and competencies • Supporting service culture

42. Example: Paradigms Change in industry 4a Mass Customisation High 3 Flexible Automation 4b Networking CAPACITY 2 “Fordism” 1 Handicraft Low Not Flexible GOODS PRODUCTION Flexible

43. Competence nodes networking Group of competencies needed to perform a task M M M Customers Competence nodes networking M=Management response of a given task in a given time point is given to the competence node which understands the customers problem best

44. Technology enables changes in organisational forms Organisational forms motivates changes in technology Operation Creation Dissolution Reconfiguration

45. Value is created in whatever way is appropriate, no longer dictated by organisational relations and boundaries How to avoid friction in the dynamics needed?

46. Trends: Ambient Intelligence Landscape • Plentiful of network connections • Plentiful of computing capacity • Natural interfaces • The challenge: How to develop new business and work models and concepts which build upon the ambient intelligence landscape? How to break with the past, constructively?

47. Various roles of individuals in IS • The ambient intelligence landscape - for all of us in different roles: • As citizens: trust and security, intelligent interfaces • As part of our organisations: knowledge management, collaborative structures • As value creators: pan-European interoperable infrastructure, common value creation process understanding • ….controlled by the individual !

48. Technical vision for the SEEM

49. Practical advises • Not that many IPs can be launched by strategic priority • The IP must meet the SP text clearly • Impact analysis • Covering the innovation process; interactions • Technology, verification and dissemination • Do not bet only on IP, use supporting STREPs • Size?

50. Some practical aspects • Contact the relevant Commission people before too much effort (sondage) • Use the EOIs for checking related activities • Expert database on Cordis www.cordis.lu • IPs something entirely new, high competition, “good” not enough, very good the minimal • Management more important than before, crisis management to be described
