Matrixx Strategy and Marketing Integration -A Comprehensive Blue-Print

kevinrcurtis — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:19:27 +0000

At Matrixx, we readily boast about our unique and blended industry focus and proven methodologies placed at the intersection of High-Tech, Telecomm, Web 2.0, Services and Business.

Matrixx is specifically focused on the high-tech sector. This sector is rapidly descending from its double digit growth rate era in to an industry maturity realm with rapidly changing basis of competition and growth prospects that necessitate altered and unprecedented change in strategy, cost structure, business focus, organizational and functional strategies. Many in the high-tech sector are simply ill prepared to deal with the unfolding changes in the new dynamics and the necessary actions and posture needed to survive. We specialize in helping these high-tech enterprises posture effectively through our experience and deep knowledge of the constantly shifting competitive landscape dynamics enabled by our client-tailored and broadly proven Matrixx Approach Framework. We boasts a 98% accuracy rate with the global 500, the Fortune 1000 as well as more niche boutique players to achieve success in this domain

Matrixx Advisory assists its clients with two tools: Optics in to and out of the proverbial “WEB” of the high-tech business (The Matrixx) and techniques to navigate between the two worlds (the inside and the outside worlds) while navigating the mother ship (your enterprise). These tools and models are intended strictly for three principal C-Level audiences: the Chief Executive Officer (CEO); the Chief Strategy Officer (CStraO) and the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

From a process perspective, generally following a strategic plan development working session with the CEO, CStraO and the CMO, we employ our models and proven operating-company approaches for alignment with the other C-Level functions (i.e. the CFO for acquisition financing strategy to fill a white space) as well as the SBUs for development of market plans yielding into a corporate-wide operating plan. As an example of this, below you will find a comprehensive blue-print of our Matrixx Approach Framework to develop a Web 2.0 and services centric value-chain model to craft a tightly coupled Business and Integrated Marketing Strategy as well as a corresponding operating plan.

A Matrixx Devised Web 2.0 Collaboration Portal for the Nation’s Dentists

kevinrcurtis — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 23:36:13 +0000

At Matrixx C-Level Advisory, we guide the captains and the strategists of large cap technology companies on how to steer their ship toward offering a greater mix of Web 2.0 and services. To put our own models and advise in play, through our Web 2.0 service creation subsidiray SOA-iT, we devised DentaLink, a professional on-line community for the nation’s dentist where secure member-based collaboration and knowledge sharing among more than 150,000 dentists is as easy as logging in.

To launch this endeavor, Matrixx leveraged our own value chain and rolling scenario models to ascertain the necessity as well as the business monetization model for such on-line community.

Consider the following business and environmental dynamics:

US spends 13.8% of its $12trillion GDP on healthcare
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 150,000 licensed dentist in the US in 2007. Nearly 80% are in private practice
Whether in general or surgical practice, dental offices universally employ specialized dental equipment, zoom cameras, x-ray devices, WLAN, PCs and broadband Internet connections
Due to fragmented base of US Dentists, sharing and collaboration is extremely difficult. DentaLink will accelerate pace of clinical and technological advances by leveraging Web 2.0 to significantly enhance collaboration and visual knowledge sharing thereby addressing exploding worldwide needs for clinical innovation in oral disease and epidemics
Tremendous clinical and surgical advances will be realized in the next decade in material, technological and procedural advances as a result
Win-Win for patients and doctors

Hence DentaLink. To devise the portal, Matrixx struck alliances with technology enabling and SaaS partners that would give us lowest upfront deployment cost, greatest business model mix, flexible product feature design and implementation capability as well as widget driven apps that could be deployed in a flexible community “container”.

Web 2.0 Way Forward for Nokia

kevinrcurtis — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:41:05 +0000

Below is an example of the Matrixx C-Level Advisory approach and models applied to assess Nokia’s competitive position within the context of its industry and to devise a Web 2.0 and Services Strategic Path Forward as well as a 90 Day Action Plan for Nokia’s CCC Division.

Wireless handset and networking equipment manufacturers such as Nokia face the following industry value-chain dynamics:

Value-Chain Dynamics of Nokia’s Network Side of Business:

Licensed and Un-Licensed Networks Continue to Proliferate
Ultra Wide Band (U-WB)

PCS 1800, GSM, WCDMA
700 MHz Broadcast Broadcast Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) use for Wi-Fi
Mesh Networks
Fixed Wireless, DMR, P-MPT
Satellites

Conclusion: Rapidly Heading Toward Ubiquity and Massive Commoditization

************************************************************************************************************

Value-Chain Dynamics of Nokia’s Handset Side of Business:

Endless Device Proliferation
Uni-Function to Converged Multi-Function Devices in the Market
Revolutionary Devices in Design and Prototype Phases by Japan and Korea
Laptops go Ultra Thin and Light in Form Factor
Tablet Computing and eBooks Take Off
Apple’s iPhone, iPod Set Stage

Conclusion: Other players will Enter the Handset Market as Well with Variety of Nomadic, Mobile, Portable, Smart and Single Purposes Devices. This Nokia Line of Business is also Heading Toward Commoditization and Price Pressures albeit as a Slower Pace than the Network Side of Its Business. Nokia, therefore, must act rapidly.

Nokia’s Web 2.0 and Services Path Forward

Nokia faces unprecedented set of dynamics and survival forces. It must leverage its dominance in the handset market and move in to Mobile 2.0, a combination of Web 2.0, mobile handsets and a Nokia-Specific Web 2.0 Services Delivery Portal. To that end, Matrixx proposes a 90 Day Action Plan for Nokia to achieve this goal by devising the fundamental approach and a comprehensive navigation blue print.

The Matrixx Web 2.0 Value-Chain and Rolling Scenario Models

kevinrcurtis — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 12:18:55 +0000

The Matrixx is beyond complex. Complex suggests a stable but crowded environment for mere mapping and syntheses. Below an example of mapping and monitoring the complex value chain of the Web 2.0 IP Video

The matrix, however, is chaotic and constantly morphing. It is hence very un-structured and never stable by any stretch of imagination. Below a view of the same Web 2.0 Value chain as above but seen from outside the Matrixx.

However, to fully map the Matrixx, you must simultaneously, thoughtfully and analytically consider your business, macro economic, micro economic, geo-political, global, societal and technological events.
