Our perspective – forward-looking, opinionated – and iconoclastic

July 22, 2014 3

(There may be some things I cannot say, some things I cannot share, or questions I cannot answer because of legal constraints or client confidentiality)

This is a forward-looking, iconoclastic, and even heretical

viewpoint

We are passionate about it and continue

to invest

We have an opinion and we are unafraid

to challenge conventional wisdom

We have a long track record of seeing

things others miss, recognizing shifts

earlier and spotting key turning points

and transitions

In particular we are writing a book now

because:

We now recognize a clear pattern of

innovation principles that drive success

Innovation is important; getting it right really matters

We are at an inflection point

We face a perfect storm of creative destruction

July 22, 2014 4

Smartphone penetration is 65% in the United States and >50% in many

developed countries 20%

40%

60%

80% 25% CAGR

LTE coverage now extends to 90%+ of Americans. Wi-Fi is

everywhere

Billions of people use the cloud

Cloud computing

Internet of things

Big data / machine learning

Smartphones

What happens when these five forces converge?

Smartphones

Pervasive connectivity

Cloud computing Widespread

wireless broadband

It’s a Nor’easter in MA: The eye of the storm

July 22, 2014 5

High tablet and

smartphone penetration in

MA

The 4 major networks have

almost completed

their MA LTE rollouts

Many cloud, big data, and

machine learning

companies in MA

A demographic shift is ongoing

Digital Natives (many of whom are students) are smartphone-centric, PC agnostic, relaxed

about security, grew up in a digital environment and are comfortable and

familiar with all things digital (your kids)

In Boston/Cambridge:

16,000 people/square mile

In Silicon Valley:

35 universities/100 square miles

4,000 people/square mile

1.5 universities/100 square miles

vs.

Smartphones

Pervasive connectivity

Cloud computing

What does this convergence mean?

Customers are empowered

Customers have instant access to information

anywhere, anytime, about anything (including sensing

and controlling)

The nature of work is changing Who is affected?

Transportation

Retail

Education

Healthcare

Then:

…and the customer-to-customer interaction has

changed

How does work get done?

With a modern & consistent user

experience with a seamless transition

across devices

Utilizing automation &

machine learning

Innovation is accelerating and becoming more

interactive

Page 8: Michael Davies Keynote

Consumers are becoming wizards…

July 22, 2014 7

…with easy access to:

Anytime, anywhere, instantly.

Data Information Knowledge Wisdom

…and our products must keep pace

What are examples of this change?

Making travel simpler, easier and more reliable

Providing simple, easily adoptable payment methods

Automating our homes

Easily and quickly find a location to charge your electric vehicle

Amazon’s app/fire phone makes impulse buying easy… especially

when at a competitors store

Recording our health and wellness

Uber needed

July 22, 2014 10

Uber started by utilizing waste in the

transportation system (empty cars)

It is now creating new value as a

supplement to mass transit

And as an alternative to a

rental car

And as an alternative to car

ownership

fast, widespread connectivity,

and big data to flourish

smartphones with location services,

$100B market ...which grows the TAM

+$27B in the US alone $1.3T TAM

What do you do next as a business?

In the beginning… A few years ago… Today, and in the future…

No one worried about their mobile, digital, cloud, or

big data strategies

Mobile, digital, cloud and big data were side projects,

and not core to most companies strategies

Mobile, digital, cloud and big data must be pervasive in your companies strategy

Strategy Strategy

•  Good/Easy/Fast vs. Bad/Hard/Slow •  Business who are slow to adopt and innovate will perish •  Instant access to information empowers customers and accelerates both the gain of the Good/Easy/Fast and the

decline of the Bad/Hard/Slow

The mobile ecosystem

July 22, 2014 12

Infrastructure

Networks

OS

Devices

High-end devices

Low-end devices

Infrastructure providers will be fine

Any OS’s besides iOS and Android will struggle to gain

market share

Players “stuck in the middle” will struggle as they need either

high volume or high margin

Either go simple/inexpensive or provide

added services

Page 14: Michael Davies Keynote

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

July 22, 2014 13

Discovery is too hard

There is no standalone app ecosystem

There are lots of great tools

Winners are able to design across all platforms using big data, machine learning and

the cloud

Consumers expect a great user experience

Demand will remain high and accelerate

The bad news The good news
