Many technology-based companies have enjoyed success in their mature mainstream markets for 5 or 10 or even 20+ years – these include Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Nokia, as well as HP and Intel.

To remain competitive, however, these companies must accomplish two challenging objectives simultaneously:

maintain + protect their mature mainstream businesses

while achieving “Escape Velocity” with breakthrough market initiatives fueled by new customer expectations / new business models / new innovations

---------------

The “Escape Velocity” session provides OD leaders + experts with:

a briefing on the specific strategies and tactics needed to achieve a sustainable + profitable entry with new market innovations, while remaining competitive in their mature business. As the March 3rd session will describe, this requires dramatically different executive coaching / skills / mindset / metrics / actions.

Escape Velocity examples:Successes – IBM (from hardware to software + services); Apple (from desktops to mobile ecosystem)Failures – Nokia (from basic mobile phones to smart phones); Kodak (from analog to digital)Currently in Process – Oracle (from on-premise to cloud); Adobe (from installed s/w to online s/w)

September 2013: Outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer was brutally honest at Microsoft’s financial analysts meeting Thursday, admitting that the software giant has allowed the booming mobile market to pass it by.

“Mobile devices, we have almost no share,” Ballmer said during the speech. “I don’t know whether to say that with enthusiasm or kind of uncomfortable tension, but I’m an optimistic guy.”

Despite his buoyant attitude, Ballmer did say during a Q&A session that he regretted decisions made early in his reign as CEO.

“If there’s one thing I guess you would say I regret, I regret that there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what to do around Windows (our mature product line), that we weren’t able to redeploy talent / resources to the new category called smart phones,” he said.

“That would probably be the thing I would tell you I regret the most, because the time we missed was during the period we were working on what became Vista, and I wish we’d had our resources differently deployed, let me say, during the early 2000s. It would have been better for Windows and better for our success in other (newer) mobile categories, like smart phones and tablets.”
