The Innovation Performance 10-9-8 Series

10 Techniques That Achieve Breakthrough Innovation: This program focuses on ten differentiable techniques that have evolved since Clayton Christensen first coined "Disruptive Innovation" in the 1990s. These ten techniques are all disruptive in some way across the spectrum of disruption: Breakthrough, Disruptive, Radical, Transformational, New-To-The-World, New-To-The-Industry, and Next Generation.

9 KPIs That Capture Innovation Performance: This program focuses on nine Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that together capture the lion's share of overall innovation performance. These nine KPIs span investment levels, innovation levels, execution ability, productivity, and overall business performance. Read here.

8 Practices That Boost Corporate Innovation: This program focuses on eight processes, tools, and techniques that are known to increase innovation creativity and execution, and/or the value of investments in innovation, in corporations. Some are strategic and soft in nature, such as communication and messaging. Some are tactical, such as combining products and IP in business plans. Others are process-oriented and spur raw innovation or the early detection of errors. Continue reading.

The R&D Spending Performance 8-8-8 Series

8 Conditions That Impact R&D Spending Results: This program focuses on factors that will negatively impact spending and spending performance. Some of them are controllable, some are not. We discuss eight conditions ranging from spending decisions in boom and bust periods, to overspending and underspending, to the impacts of variable spending and negative events on output and productivity, that lessen output and outcomes.

8 Metrics That Quantify R&D Spending Performance: This program focuses on key performance indicators [KPIs] that have R&D spending in their calculation. The metrics range from corporate metrics that are either reported to Wall Street or used by analysts and CFOs, to measures that help to divvy-up funds across business units of different purposes and performance levels, to measures that improve the ranking of investments, to measures that can be used to modulate overspending or underspending for corporate and industry considerations. Read this here.

8 Actions That Increase R&D Spending Output: This program focuses on factors that will positively influence spending and spending performance. All of them are within your control. Does your company have its arms around these? We describe eight actions ranging from good CXO behaviors, to data sciences and digital posturing, to timing new product announcements and actively competing for awards, that increase output and outcomes. More info here.

The Product Design Value 7-6-7 Plus Series

7 Ways To Create Value With Product Design: This program focuses on opportunities to design-in capabilities that will enhance the appeal and increase the value of products from their point of purchase throughout the product's life cycle. We will discuss seven different opportunities, and quantify the size of the economic opportunity for each. The least opportunity represents a 20% increase in revenues unto itself. The several large opportunities represent upwards from 200% increases in revenue and profit from the same design effort. The Plus in this 7-6-7 Series program will touch on how miniaturization of design, next generation motors, and a couple more topics will also begin to influence product design.

6 Ways To Reap Value From Product Design: This program focuses on opportunities to increase the value of products, portfolios, and brands that have been robustly designed, or are well along to that goal. We will discuss six different opportunities, and quantify the size of the economic opportunity for each. These opportunities all have double-digit potential to increase revenues and profits, and single digit for market cap. In some cases, incremental monies will be needed to realize the augmentation potential of the design or design-leverage ability. The Plus in this 7-6-7 Series program will cull-out selected awards and recognitions for good product design, as distinguished from the multitude of award and recognition program categories existing today.

7 Measures To Value Product Design: The third program focuses on measures that characterize or quantify good design in the eyes of customers and users. While some measures also have utility for internal purposes such as product quality, reliability, and cost, this program centers on how customers, users, markets, and the investor community regard the products. We discuss seven different KPIs that range from codifying the quality and robustness of ID and UX designs, to metrics that gauge pricing gross margins and potential market value, to indexes that provide for cross-market comparisons and market cap premiums. The Plus in this 7-6-7 Series program will briefly touch on several other metrics relevant to good product design including customer satisfaction, completion rates, NPS, and others.

Program Leader

Licensing

Corporate Licenses are now a value at three times the single-user price. Positive actions on any of the 10-9-8, 8-8-8, and 7-6-7 group of topics can make or save tens of thousands of dollars apiece, even if only implemented once. A short license statement accompanies each video transmittal. There is nothing to sign.

L.L.Bean Releases Top-Ten Requested Names for Monogramming in 2019

Internationally recognized outdoor retailer L.L.Bean, best known for its legendary customer service and high-quality gear and apparel, announced the most popular names customers requested for monogramming on its iconic Boat and Tote bags in 2019. L.L.Bean offers monogramming of many of its products, but the enduring popularity of the Boat and Tote as a personalized gift makes it a cultural bellwether, comparable to the Social Security Administration's list of the most popular baby names in the US each year.

Grace, Olivia, and Emily top the list for female names at L.L.Bean in 2019, compared to Emma, Olivia, and Ava on the most recent SSA list. Jack, Henry, and Charlie rank highest for male names at L.L.Bean, while Liam, Noah, and William top the SSA list.

One direct crossover is that Oliver and Olivia place in both the SSA and L.L.Bean top ten lists, with Olivia filling second place for females on both lists. L.L.Bean acknowledges that despite this similarity, the two lists are not equivalent.

"After the Social Security Administration released its annual list of the most popular names, we were curious to see how our top monogrammed names compared," said Laurie Brooks, L.L.Bean spokesperson. "While many of these totes are personalized for customers of all ages, we know that some of these totes also feature pet's names."

L.L.Bean has been stitching the heavyweight cotton canvas totes in Maine for 75 years. Introduced in 1944 as Bean's Ice Carrier, the bags now come in a variety of sizes and colors and are used for carrying just about anything. Monogramming is a popular personalization on the totes and offered inside L.L.Bean retail stores, as well as online orders.

RunSafe Security Raises $6.3 Million to Immunize Software

RunSafe Security, the pioneer of a patented process to immunize software without developer friction from cyber attacks, today announced the closing of a $6.3 million series A funding round led by Alsop Louie Partners, an early-stage, risk-oriented technology venture capital firm in San Francisco. New investors, Working Lab Capital, Inner Loop Capital and Renegade Ventures, also participated in the round. The investment brings RunSafe's total funding to $8.7 million and will help the company aggressively expand its sales and marketing efforts, as well as broaden and accelerate product development. Read this for more information.

Inoculate All Types of Software in Any Environment

RunSafe's product Alkemist hardens software binaries using runtime application self-protection (RASP) and Moving Target Defense (MTD) methods to significantly reduce risk by precluding exploits from spreading across multiple devices and networks. Originally born out of a research project for the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, Alkemist is the only automated tool to protect open source, in-house developed code, or third-party binaries, while leaving each system functionally identical, but logically unique. Be alert to read related news.

"As 80% of security decisions in DevOps software teams are made by software developers and 75% of kill chains involve a step using a memory corruption vulnerability, RunSafe allows a massive reduction in attack surface with ease of deployment. This boost in cyber immunity fundamentally disrupts hacker economics and allows a reallocation of scarce cybersecurity resources overwhelmed with patching and related basic cyber hygiene efforts," said Joe Saunders, RunSafe Security's founder and CEO. "We founded RunSafe Security to disrupt hacker economics at the root cause in order to render cyber threats inert – and we are delighted with the widespread adoption of Alkemist across DevSecOps toolchains. My team and I are extremely gratified by the continued financial support of our initial investors in RunSafe Security and are thankful to our new investors for their support of our vision."

RunSafe Security was a graduate of Virginia Center for Innovative Technology's Mach37 Cyber Accelerator Fall '17 cohort. Its initial customer base includes organizations across enterprise, suppliers and manufacturers, and national security industries. Additionally, RunSafe Security has consistently garnered third-party awards and recognition for its technology, including:

The Department of Homeland Security released its first update in eight years to the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) list of the 25 most dangerous software errors. The 2019 list identified a new top weakness: "Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer." This top weakness and many other memory based vulnerabilities is exactly the weakness in software code RunSafe Security addresses.

About RunSafe Security
RunSafe Security's mission is to immunize software without developer friction from cyber attacks, disrupting hacker economics. RunSafe's security techniques inoculate our customers' systems from an entire class of cyber attacks. Our customers integrate our product across build and deploy tools chains without developer friction protecting open source, in house code, and 3rd party binaries. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, with an office in Huntsville, Alabama, RunSafe Security's customers span the enterprise, suppliers and manufacturers, and national security industries.
