DAY ONE: MONDAY, APRIL 7
Integrating People, Processes and Technologies to Create A High Impact Innovation Architecture

Product, service and business innovation all combine to help companies achieve excellence and maintain it in the face of a dynamic global environment. Creativity and innovation are often linked in the same breath, but leading companies understand that the linkages between them need to be formal, flexible, and ever evolving. An innovation architecture integrates people, processes, and technology in the context of user-centric design. To achieve this, companies need to carefully consider organizational design and motivation. Drawing on extensive industry experience in innovation with companies including Boeing, Motorola, Lockheed Martin, Bayer and others, this presentation will explore how innovation occurs across the supply chain, highlighting tools and techniques that enable competitive advantage. Examples will highlight key differences between leadership and management, linking both to sustainability.

Dr. Irene Petrick is Director of Penn State's Center for Enterprise Informatics and Integration and a Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology. She specializes in technology forecasting, digital roadmapping, product and process development, systems management, and enterprise integration. Recent research has focused on collaboration across the supply chain. She advises private companies and non-profit agencies on technology planning and strategic roadmapping and in 2005 was a Boeing Welliver Fellow where she focused on technology strategy, collaborative R&D and new product development.

Dr. Petrick has taught graduate courses in advanced technology management, corporate innovation strategies and statistical process control and design of experiments; and undergraduate courses in human factors engineering, concurrent engineering, enterprise integration, and project management. She is author or co-author on over 70 publications and presentations, and has over 25 years of experience in technology planning, management, and product development in both academic and industrial settings.

DAY ONE: MONDAY, APRIL 7
Increasing Business Value with Product & Technology Roadmapping

Over the past 10 years, Roadmapping efforts have evolved quite dramatically. Initially, roadmaps focused on technology development and how technology might change in the future to help justify the research needed to deliver future products. Technology roadmaps were soon followed by product roadmaps in an effort to predict how products would evolve over time. More recently, we are seeing the linkage of Market, Product and Technology in composite roadmaps. These efforts often involve cross functional teams and have led to increased return on R&D and NPD investments.

For most companies, the key to widespread company adoption is the integration of roadmapping efforts into an organization's ongoing business practices - making the successful shift from being just another corporate initiative to becoming "the way a company does business". When roadmapping becomes an integral part of the strategic planning process of a business, it assures a common vision and creates a critical linkage among multiple functional groups.

In this presentation, Mr. Kirk will discuss how Corning successfully integrated its Roadmapping efforts into its strategic planning and ongoing business practices as well as key lessons learned.

Key take-aways:

• Where a Business Unit starts their roadmapping effort will usually vary

• Linking Key Functional groups via "composite" roadmaps adds value

• Roadmaps are useful for both the Short Term and the Long Term

• Integrating Roadmapping with ongoing business practices is critical

Dennis O�Donoghue, an experimental test pilot, is Vice President of Flight Operations, Test and Validation for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. In this role, he is responsible for all flight operations, including flight training, flight technical support, flight standards, and experimental and production test flight operations as well as being responsible for the test and validation of all Boeing commercial airplanes and those Integrated Defense Systems products that use commercial airplanes as platforms.

O�Donoghue leads an organization of about 3,500 engineers, pilots, mechanics, and technicians. The group is responsible for certifying new Boeing airplanes, enhancing existing models and providing flight crew products and services to Boeing customers in support of their flight operations. In addition, O�Donoghue is responsible for numerous test organizations including Test Engineering, Test Programs Integration & Execution, and Test Manufacturing & Quality Operations.
O�Donoghue�s first Boeing assignment was in 1996 as the lead test pilot of the
X-32B STOVL Joint Strike Fighter Concept Demonstrator Aircraft program. In this role, he was heavily involved in all aspects of design, development, and flight test of both the X-32A and X-32B. During the summer of 2001, he commanded the first flight and flew the first hovers, and first vertical landings of the X-32B. Subsequent to the JSF program, he was assigned as deputy project pilot for the Sonic Cruiser and the 7E7/787 programs. In this capacity, he was involved in all aspects of the design of the aircraft, with particular emphasis on development, simulation and validation of flight controls and the pilot-vehicle interface. In November 2004, he was promoted to Chief Pilot, Production Test Operations, with responsibility for production flight test of all Boeing transport category aircraft.

O�Donoghue left Boeing in July 2005 to serve as Director of Flight Operations and Chief Test Pilot of the Eclipse 500 Very Light Jet (VLJ) program at Eclipse Aviation Corporation. On his return to Boeing in July 2006, he briefly served as Vice President of Flight Operations for Commercial Airplanes before assuming his present responsibilities.

DAY THREE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9
Explore and Exploit �
The Twin Challenge of Business Leadership

Why do some companies stay ahead of the competition through successive generations of technology, while others are like deer caught in the headlights, frozen, unable to respond to disruptive threats? This will be the key question for Professor Michael Tushman�s presentation. He and his colleagues have extensive research into what enables some companies to successfully innovate and grow, while others fail to adapt to changes in their market.

The key insight is that the winners are those that have the adaptability to manage both exploit businesses � that deliver today�s results incrementally � and explore businesses focused on new opportunities and innovation streams. Integrating both in a single enterprise creates the ability to sense, respond, and perhaps better yet, lead disruptive change.

Professor Tushman will explore this research, richly illustrated with case study examples, and describe the practical actions that you can take to build explore and exploit units within your business. He will explain how, by applying the disciplines of strategic execution you can address the barriers to change in your organization and build a more effective innovation engine.

Michael Tushman will also be conducting a special post-conference workshop - Aligning Strategy with Execution�Leadership, Execution and Change Management

Professor Tushman is the Paul R. Lawrence MBA Class of 1942 Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. He is internationally recognized for his work on the relations between technological change, executive leadership and organization adaptation, and for his work on innovation streams and organization design. He has published numerous articles and books including Winning Through Innovation: A Practical Guide to Leading Organizational Renewal and Change (with C. O'Reilly). Professor Tushman holds degrees from Northeastern University (B.S.E.E.), Cornell University (M.S.), and the Sloan School of Management at M.I.T. (Ph.D.).
