  1. The IT CTO Council PanelNASA IT Summit 2011 Ed McLarney CTO for OCIO NASA Langley Research Center

  2. Concept:Relative Innovation Velocity • “Innovation” • Deliver useful new capability to customers • (or pick any standard innovation definition) • “Velocity” • Direction – aligned by strategy & architecture • Speed – enabled by teaming and dividing the work • Simply innovating is not enough • Must be fast & agile to make a difference • “Relative” • Technical landscape is constantly changing around us • Measuring our progress in a vacuum is useless • Must be in context of the larger environment • Where do our innovations “fit?” • Planned innovation: great! • Unplanned innovation: leverage it! &OCIO Template

  3. Surrounting EnvironmentRelative Innovation Velocity Multiple innovation vectors in the world around us Velocity = speed + direction &OCIO Template

  4. Vision & Alignment: Relative Innovation Velocity Vision aligns our direction Assessments enable informed starting points &OCIO Template

  5. Strategy = Plan: Relative Innovation Velocity Vision Strategy provides a plan to get from start to vision …informed by surrounding environment Start &OCIO Template

  6. Misalignment: Relative Innovation Velocity Vision Strategy & Environment … and requires more work to get back on track: (wasted $$$) Misaligned innovation takes us off course… Start &OCIO Template

  7. Too Slow, Too Little: Relative Innovation Velocity Vision Strategy & Environment … customers bypass us and leverage other innovation – possibly misaligned Slow or inadequate innovation fails to keep up… Start &OCIO Template

  8. Building Momentum: Relative Innovation Velocity Vision Adopt, adapt & align external innovation Coordinate and align internal innovation Multiple, aligned, rapid innovations Mass * Velocity… Momentum toward vision & beyond Start &OCIO Template

  9. Dancing SnakesHelp w/ Innovation Investment Decisions Diminishing Returns High cost to improve capability Buy established products or invest in challengers Early Research High cost : capability ratio Broad low cost investments Capability Rapid Maturation Lowest cost : capability ratio Pick winners; selective heavier investment Time, Effort, or $$ &OCIO Template
