Leveraging Internal and External Capabilities to Create a Sustainable Competitive Advantage with Big Data and Analytics--The Vestas Story
Eugene Pottenger, Senior Specialist--Innovation, Strategy & Organizational Development
The next meeting of the Nordic Chapter, co-chaired by ISG, Trellis, ISS, Deloitte, Accenture and Gorrissen Federspiel, was held on March 1 at Gorrissen Federspiel, HC Andersen Blvd 12, København.
While Vestas has long been a leader in the wind industry in the use of big data & analytics, the company has historically not been able to match these deep internal capabilities to market needs in a way to create sustainable competitive advantage. Meanwhile, GE and others are pushing ahead with significantly larger investments, and there are many examples of industries where the value of product & service has rapidly been eclipsed by the value of information-based offerings. Come join in a discussion of Vestas’ journey the last 18 months to completely restructure its go-to-market approach both internally & externally. As part of an interactive session, we will dive into the details of the capabilities required to succeed with this kind of servicitization, as well as tradeoffs related to various organizational & governance scenarios, and not least cover the criticality of a healthy ecosystem – as very few companies can lift this kind of challenge alone. Along the way we’ll have the opportunity to discuss such issues as sourcing for innovation, integrating DevOps into traditional Mode 1 IT, and the process of moving from objectives to capabilities to operating model to organization and governance.

Co-chair's Summary:
Benchmarking: A Deep-Dive
The Nordic Chapter of IAOP held its quarterly meeting at Gorrissen Federspiel on May 10. We took a look at benchmarking with insight from Zangenberg Analytics, ISG, and Gorrissen Federspiel. The focus was on preparations for and conduct of “in contract” benchmarking and included insights into the "secret world" of leading benchmarking providers. We got a chance to hear about different benchmarking models and methodologies while drawing the line from negotiating benchmarking provisions to practical experiences derived from actual conducting benchmarking and managing the outcome of an benchmarking.
Tue Goldschmieding, Partner with Gorrissen Federspiel, kicked off the program with an introduction into key negotiation topics and market practices for agreeing to benchmarking provisions. The main pricing dynamic for contracts is an assumption of decreasing costs for the service provider which leads to the baseline trending downwards over the lifetime of the contract. As it is hard to precisely predict the actual decrease, the result is a fundamental tension between service providers and clients regarding benchmarking. Benchmarking is an activity with a high degree of discretion and traditionally, very low transparency.

Transparency was front-and-center in Fredrik Bastkær Christensen, Associate Partner, Zangenberg Analytics' presentation which argued for using statistical models rather than peer-based data for increasing precision and transparency in benchmarking practices. Fredrik's approach is one of employing benchmarking as a strategic problem-solving tool. Central to his message was that indexation, to some extent, will replace traditional benchmarking and that we should expect to see a reduction in friction between service providers and clients driven by the resulting increase in transparency and predictability.

Poul Tokkesdal, Director Nordics, ISG, contributed a session on Forward-Looking Benchmarking. By this, Poul means that contract benchmarking has developed from price setting to uncovering and removing constraints on delivery as the basis for realising value, exploiting emerging technologies and moving to transformational contracting models. Poul offered the following quote from Albert Einstein as an illustration, "Any fool can know. The point is to understand." The focus is now on where value can be added.

Topic: “Security in the Outsourcing Context”
During this meeting the discussions specifically centered around how to identify and implement security standards; contracting for security; and what aspects of security could be managed by a vendor.
Allan Bjerre, Director, KPMG kicked off the program with a look at their recent study on Unknown Threats in the Nordics-A Study of APT and Malware. KPMG has looked at Finland (2013), Sweden (2014), Denmark (2015) and soon, Norway (2016) to establish a thorough and nuanced picture of security in the Nordics. One interesting trend Allan focused on was the move to monetization of security breaches, that is, the growing role that organized crime has as a broker of stolen data and compromised security. In Allan’s words, “this is market driven and not necessarily a tech thing.”
Rasmus Kærsgaard Theede, VP Group Quality and Security, KMD, contributed with observations about the role that the press and media play in controlling where companies put their focus resulting in a distortion of resource allocation vs. actual need. Rasmus backed this up with details on the actual occurrence of, for instance, cyber espionage at 0.8% vs. accidental disclosures at 29.4%; and that 50% of data breaches in the public sector were due to human error or employee snooping. Key to Rasmus’ message about rational resource allocation is that by complying with ISO 27001, 90% of errors and issues will be able to be addressed.
Rasmus and Allan also raised the issue of why companies might wish to outsource some aspect of security. Among the issues raised were that the proper competencies are hard to find; security is typically not part of a company’s core business which makes it challenging to secure appropriate resources; companies typically lack the critical mass to accumulate rock-solid expertise; and infrastructure costs can be daunting for a single organization. Yet, although it might make great sense to use partners to deliver on some aspects of security, Rasmus hammered home the principle that, “you can not outsource security accountability.” Allan echoed that by emphasizing that organizations must be deliberate in acknowledging their risk appetite in order to properly invest in security.
Ole Horsfeldt, Partner, Gorrissen Federspiel, contributed to the discussion by noting critical aspects of contracting for security, perhaps summed best up by his comment that, “you get what you pay for and what you measure.” Ole focused on the central issue of implementation and predicted that the future will bring security SLAs that will accommodate for a constantly changing security picture.
The program concluded with a panel discussion including the day’s presenters and moderated by Stiig Wæver, Partner, Praesidio. Among the interesting points raised by the panelists were the need to distinguish needs and trends among various industries and the fact that so much of the work to be done to increase security involves changing behaviors and mindsets.
The meeting was wrapped up with wine, tapas and networking.

"Macro Trends and their Affect on Outsourcing"
We are in the midst of a transition from a society based on physical capital and marginal innovation to a knowledge-based society, where agility, radical innovation, and flexibility have become the basis for our future society. As agile organizations, companies will have to choose their focus and the degree to which outsourcing and offshoring will serve their organizational needs. Using results from a global study and analysis of the future of facility management and services conducted for ISS, we learned how megatrends will shape outsourcing and offshoring over the coming decade.

"Deploying and Managing a Multisourced Environment"

Martin Clausen, General Counsel, Mærsk Line
Ole Horsfeldt, Partner, Gorrissen Federspiel
Multi-Sourcing - Operational Perspective
Multisourcing is the disciplined provisioning and blending of business and IT services from the optimal set of internal and external providers in the pursuit of business goals. It is also defined as a strategy that treats a given function, such as IT, as a portfolio of activities, some of which should be outsourced and others of which should be performed by internal staff. Although the term may apply to any business area, it is most commonly used within the context of Information Technology. (from Wikipedia)
We started with a presentation on multisourcing to be given by Fabrizio Napolitano, Director, Deloitte. After our presentation, we had representatives from A.P.Møller-Mærsk and Gorrissen Federspiel join Fabrizio to engage in a panel discussion.
The presentation introduced multisourcing as a concept and the business benefits to be derived from this. The focus of the presentation was on how to implement and manage multisourcing through practical cases/examples including end-to-end service levels, service integration, skills, competencies etc.
