  1. Breakthrough Strategy Today and Tomorrow Chatt Smith Stone & Webster Engineering Corp. Breakthrough Strategy Committee 2000 CII Annual Conference Nashville, Tennessee

  2. “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” Thomas Watson Chairman of IBM 1943

  3. “640 K ought to be enough for anybody.” Bill Gates Microsoft Corporation 1981

  4. “CAD is not applicable to the Construction Industry.” CII Board of Advisors 1983

  5. Breakthrough Mission The Breakthrough Strategy Committee will… • develop strategy/approach to identify and facilitate activities to achieve breakthrough performance. • develop process that will insure adequate generation of breakthrough, research, and other ideas. • initiate continuing list of appropriate breakthrough opportunities. • interface with other standing committees for CII core processes. • evaluate, identify, and obtain of funding for breakthrough projects. • assess progress and results.

  6. Breakthrough Vision “To establish a long-term vehicle in CII that continues to identify, nurture, develop, and harvest breakthrough in capital project delivery for the substantial benefit of CII members.”

  7. We Have Defined Breakthrough As: • Clearly dramatic change leading to major performance improvement (cost, schedule, or quality). • Beyond “Best Practices” or incremental improvement. • Includes broad interpretation of: • Technology • Practices • Mindset • Truly effective implementation • Potentially the realization of a BHAG.

  8. Q: What is a BHAG? A: Big Hairy Audacious Goal A BHAG is an outrageous, seemingly impossible objective, YET it: • is clear and compelling. • is a powerful mechanism to stimulate progress. • serves as a unifying focal point for breakthrough effort. • is way beyond incremental improvement.

  9. The Breakthrough Process Identify First Part Correct Assess 4D CADD Composite Materials Pipe Melding Internet-Based Design Nurture FIATECH Develop Harvest

  10. Winnowing Away 3,000 bright ideas = 1 winner (The Economist, February 20, 1999) Number of Ideas Stage of Development

  11. Breakthrough Implementation Input Ideas Research Breakthrough as a Core Process in CII

  12. Innovations: Composite Materials

  13. Innovations Outside of CII

  14. Enter the Visual 4th Dimension

  15. Breakthrough Thinking Real vs. Dream Now vs. Never Me vs. Them

  16. “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Walt Disney
