X PRIZE Foundation & Singularity University

The X PRIZE Foundation

and Singularity University

have teamed up to deliver

an extra ordinary

Innovation Partnership

Program (IPP).IPP is designed to drive innovation and breakthroughs in companies

that are scalable, repeatable, and applicable to your needs. To help

companies transition from “linear” “exponential” organizations

3

Why Do Large Companies Have Difficulty Innovating?

1. Technological change is too fast &

accelerating

2. True innovation comes from

“orthogonal thinking”

3. Companies are too risk averse, and

breakthroughs require significant risks

4. Breakthroughs disrupt current lines of

business

5. Companies have too many “experts”

who are typically stove-piped and linear

thinkers

Singularity University (SU) is the leading institution for teaching exponentially growing technology. SU focuses on what’s in the lab today and coming to market in 2, 5 and 10 years.

Founding Partners: Autodesk, NASA, Google, Cisco, Nokia, Kauffman Foundation, Genentech

Programs: Graduate Studies Program & Executive Programs

Faculty: A deep network of technologists and innovators from the top labs, companies and entrepreneurial groups.“If I were a student, this is where I

would want to be.”

- Larry Page, CEO, Google

What is Singularity Univ?

leader in incentive competitions and

crowd sourced innovation. X PRIZE

partners with leading companies to

drive global competitions for the

radical benefit of humanity.

Focus Areas: Life Sciences; Energy;

Exploration; Education, Global Dev.

Headquarters: Los Angeles, CA

Prize Sponsors & Partners: Google,

Qualcomm, Nokia, NASA, Cisco,

Progressive.

What is X PRIZE?

“Every time I come to an X PRIZE event I am high for days afterwards. There is nothing like hearing so many great ideas and looking into the eyes of people that really are making such a huge difference.”

- James Cameron, Filmmaker, Explorer,

XPF Trustee

IPP is the best of SU & X PRIZE, put together into a powerful, inspiring, results-oriented program designed for C-suite and innovation executives.

Meets 2x per year, for 4 Days (Thurs – Sun)

Goal: Change the way we think from Linear Exponential

What is Innovation Partners Program (IPP)?

7

Day 1&2: Exponential Thinking – Growth of 7 Key Technology Areas

• Understand the velocity of key technologies (in the lab, coming to market)

• Empowered with the understand that “Anything is Possible”

Day 3 & 4: Incentivized Competition & Crowd-Sourced Innovation

• Understand how the Crowd can help you innovate & remain cutting edge

• Reduce your R&D costs 100-fold by taping into surplus cognitive genius

• Come away with clear, objective targets and a Plan to implement

The Program Overview

8

Day 1 & 2 is focus on delivering a coordinated overview of 7 key

exponentially growing technologies. Providing insight into what is in

the lab today, and coming to market over the next 2, 5, and10 years.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & ROBOTICS

NETWORKS &SENSORS

3D PRINTING &MANUFACTURING

ENERGYDIGITAL MEDICINE

SECURITY SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY

Day 1 & 2: Exponential Technologies Content

9

• Exponential Thinking: Understand the power of

exponentially growing technologies

• Exponential Trends: Recognize exponential trends and learn

how to apply them.

Day 1 & 2: Objectives - Thinking

• Convergence: Where will

convergence create opportunities?

• Discussion/Reflection: How will this technology affect our key

products and growth? Solve key corporate

challenges?

How will this technology help us solve

Grand Challenges that our company,

employees and customers care about?

10

• IPP matches each company with two “teaming

partners” from other industries to facilitate the

discussion/reflection time;

• This curated effort provides insight & perspective

as colleagues from outside your industry help you

look at problems/opportunities in a new light.

Day 1 & 2: Curated Teaming

11

• Day 3 & 4 are modeled after the X PRIZE Visioneering

process – an effective way to identify market failures, set

audacious/achievable goals and drive radical

breakthroughs. Educational content focuses on:

– Incentivized Competition: Learn how to design an

Incentive prize and how such a prize can be used to drive

desired breakthroughs in your company or industry;

– Crowd-sourced Innovation: Learn how to leverage “Global

Genius” – How do you get the world’s smartest people to

help you solve your problems at 1/100th the cost in a

fraction of the time?

Day 3 & 4: Incentive Competitions & Crowd Sourcing

12

“No matter who you are, most

of the smartest people work

for someone else.”

- Bill Joy, 1990Following are the “Exponential Organization tools” now available for companies to leverage global genius to solve their problems at a fraction of the time and cost, with no overhead.

(1) Incentive Competitions (5) Gamification

(2) DIY Communities (6) Microwork

(3) Machine Learning Data Competitions (7) Crowd Ideation

(4) Crowd Wisdom

13

Incentivized Competitions• Prizes for breakthroughs• Data competitions

Crowd funding• Product presale• Market testing

The Latest Landscape:Crowdsourcing

Models, Ideas & Cases

14

• Each participating company will

identify 2 or 3 areas where a

breakthrough would create maximum

benefit. These target areas would then

drive:

Generate ~2 X PRIZE Concepts that

could drive meaningful breakthroughs

for your company and industry.

Day 3 & 4: Objectives

Evaluate the top “Exponential Organizational Tools” of use to your company to solve your top problems. Then learn the tools, meet the implementers and use the solutions.
