Blockbuster Video
• Short History of Blockbuster Video
– Blockbuster Video was a $1 Billion business in 2009.
– Customers put up with the limitations of physical media until there was something better. (NetFlix)
– Blockbuster was dismantled in 2012.
• Standard DIGITAL DISRUPTION Mistakes
1. Slow to react. Believed they were on the right track.
2. Ignored customer desires – one could argue they did not know what their customer’s desires were.
3. Initial response was to cut costs by $330 Million – seemingly in the belief that the business model only needed tuning rather than a complete replacement.
4. Last resort was to have a web site showing a list of videos.

Failure to see SPIN from Laggard Vendors
Cloud is no good
Folklore used to keep customers convinced their old product is best
True SaaS Vendor
Composable service.
We have cloud too !
Put OLD product on someone else's cloud and say it’s new.

Failure to Understand What is Needed
Don’t understand XaaS Concepts Buy the non-XaaS products
Early movers need knowledge and good judgement.
Best advice, if your not sure then don’t get locked-in. Avoid long term contracts !!!!

Digital Disruption – What does it mean to us?1. Niche services (sourced from specialists) will be easy to plug and play.
– There are some 20,000 available and the list of growing every day.
2. Balance of power shifts to Customers
– Your Customers have resources and IT systems from all over the world on their devices and on their phones.
– They can build their own processes from services available online.
• They replace central formal processes (eg document management) with their own solutions.
3. Speed is the FIRST, SECOND and THIRD KPI
– If I can have an outcome immediately why would I wait?
4. A shift in the locus of economies of scale
– It is no longer important to build economies of scale locally
– Scale comes from the new SaaS business models - Specialisation now trumps scale.

Summary
1. Big changes being driven by SMACC, Commoditisation, and IoT. The business model for every business in the world will change in 5 years and that includes IT teams.
2. There is a whole new BUSINESS-TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM to develop and manage. There will be new roles, more positive and creative work, new careers and more VALUE / RESPECT!
3. The spoils will go to those who can identify opportunities and reset their skills and attitudes to meet the challenges. You have time if you THINK about it and START now.
4. Remember the Economist – People oriented skills cannot be replaced with digital disruption. They become more valuable.
5. There is more work to do in IT than before and it’s higher value !
