In today’s fast-paced world it is not straightforward to quickly evaluate the potential of innovative technologies and to learn the necessary skills to implement and integrate them into existing landscapes. Jan and Dries show you how they use the AD&I Incubator to help them with both of these tasks.

Incubators
Lightweight process for innovation injection
1. Understand the business
context and market trends
• Who can start doing or using it and to
what benefits?
• How does that compare to other
sectors?
• What do researchers predict?
• What is the expected market size?
• Consult market as well as Capgemini
network (e.g. CC, SAT,..)
2. Investigate Technology
landscape
• What’s it all about, in essence? What
does the technology enable? What are
the skills needed
• What products, startups, and
Capgemini assets exist and are
available? What are their costs?
• Leverage the Capgemini group as
much as possible (group offerings,
SME’s, capabilities, material, …)
3. Define next steps on sales
and capability front
• Handover to Sales office: Map
business to technology: what user
stories can you come up with? And
which clients should we talk to.
• Handover to Tech Labs: Develop a
plan to actually build the use Case
and create the local capabilities.

“A massive build-out of connected
devices and sensors woven into the
fabric of our lives and businesses.
Devices deeply embedded in public
and private places will recognize us
and adapt to our requirements.
Comfort, safety, streamlined
commerce, entertainment, education,
resource conservation, operational
efficiency and personal well-being.”

9. There are three big roots for the booming IoT market
You can now create your complete
digital nervous system, at low cost.
There’s a thingie for that
5G introduces extreme high speed and
drastically reduced latency to support
the ‘real time’ requirement of IoT
solutions.
Connected: always, anywhere
The mature Big Data market allows
translation to business value though
nearly real time analytics.
There’s business value for that

10. But how to get it started…
Scale to production Scale to new businessStart small and simple
• One use case: focus on 1
business value improvement
• Reduce technical complexity:
no or few connected devices,
reduce costs or bottle necks
• Prototyping: Focus on proving
the business case
• Production scale: Large set of
connected devices
• Real world technical
complexity: overcome network,
scalability, bigdata challenges
• Realize the full business benefit
of one use case
• Architecture setup is ready to
extend to new business models
• Add new use cases to increase
business value of the solution:
• new scenario’s,
• new sensors,
• more data,
• more value

What to remember when you’re walking out of here
Within a matter of days you can have a working POC to prove your case.
Leave the technical complexities out at the beginning.
Focus on proving the business case first
Don’t wait for a full investigation and theoretical business.
Start now and succeed/fail fast!
