8. 8 The Singaporean Chutzpah
9. 9 Why?
10. 10 Synopsis says this: The Singapore government has been developing a business ecosystem aimed at attracting high-tech start-ups. These include good infrastructure, a low-tax system, reduced bureaucratic impact, good legal environment and a skilled labour force. As is the norm, high-tech start- ups require funding, experienced mentorship and strong networks to build companies that can compete in world-wide markets. The ability to access the market is especially crucial for the development of these companies, given the small domestic market of Singapore and high capital needs. The government also has several funding mechanisms in place to assist high-tech start-ups with their financing needs such cash grants, business incubator schemes, debt financing schemes and tax inventive schemes.

20. 20 What's Missing?
21. 21 Hunger
22. 22 Hunger to want to fight the odds Hunger to want to fight the odds
23. 23 Experiencing Failure
24. 24 You NEVER learn from Success
25. 25 Published 2009
26. 26 Israel vs Singapore
27. 27 Israel vs Singapore • Tiny country • No natural resource • Constant threat of war • 3 Year National Service – men and women • A cultural tolerance "constructive failure" or "intelligent failures” • Informality and de-emphasis of hierarchy • 75 companies on NASDAQ • 7.4 million people • Even tinier country • No natural resource • Residual threat of war • 2 Year National Service – only men • Failure is not generally accepted – yet • Informality and de-emphasis of hierarchy • 5 companies on NASDAQ • 5.47 million people
28. 28 Most Israelis believe that without tolerating a large number of failures, it is impossible to achieve true innovation. In the IDF, there is a tendency to treat all performance, both successful and unsuccessful, both in training simulations and in live battle, as value-neutral. So long as the risk was taken intelligently, and not recklessly, even if the performance failed, there is something to be learned.

31. 31 How does this relate to:
32. 32 How does this relate to: How The Internet and Open Source Development Models Are Driving Innovation
33. 33 The Internet & Open Source Dev Methods • Peer to Peer Collaboration • Fail Fast, Fail Early • Release Early, Release Often • It's about the “code” and not about you • Thin hierarchy • Scratch the Itch

36. 36 Blk71 seems to give: • Peer to Peer Collaboration • Fail Fast, Fail Early • Release Early, Release Often • It's about the “code” and not about you • Thin hierarchy • Scratch the Itch
37. 37 So, are we there yet?
38. 38 Getting there
39. 39 And one more thing:
40. 40 Almost everything one uses today lives on the Internet and was built with open source tools
41. 41 Innovation is happening rapidly because of the open source dev models riding on the Internet
