HOW TO LEAD AS A FIRST MOVER OR A FAST FOLLOWER
What's next? Imagine Your New Future
What if we lived in a digital world that makes you and everyone great?
Forget the idea that you missed the Internet's big moves and lost to tech's giant platforms. Now, your post-pandemic digital advances should put you in the lead.
Tech's giants are locked into selling the non-sustainable economy. Because their revenues come from ads and products that damage the world, Google, Facebook and Amazon are locked into the past.
Here's how you can take the lead by outperforming tech's platforms in the ways that count to your customers, and to you.
Create useful new technologies
Abelow-created patents have over 550 licensees, and over 4,100 patent citations
PROOFS OF BUSINESS VALUE
Proven Creator of Commercially Useful and Valuable Technology
Many of the licensees on the left are leading tech companies. Those on the right include some of the world's best known brands.
Some licensees of patented new technologies Dan created
Example patent licensed by 200 companies: 1-to-1 Interactive Communications Based on Personal Product Use
Does Abelow innovate in broadly useful ways? Here is an invention fundamental to how you interact, all day long, in many parts of your life and work.
You constantly use 1-on-1 communications in personal alerts and messages through your phone, apps, smart assistants, computers and smart IoT (Internet of Things) devices.
Abelow invented the first patent and IP family that described these 2-way personal interactions based on the use of products and services. These Abelow patents have been licensed over 200 times and cited more than 2,000 times.
HOW CAN WE FLIP THE PYRAMID AND LIFT EVERYBODY?
A Disruptive Vision, Technology and IP:
"Planetary Success" Where Everybody Rises to the Top
Become a sustainable, healthier and more prosperous planet that includes everyone...
Without revolutions, migrations or attacking elites
Digitally accelerate people, companies and businesses to lead a positive world
"Planetary success" technologies are a new IP field to turn the tide from overwhelming global problems to Universal Success.
Companies and platforms can acquire this IP and assistance to deliver universal success, sustainability, health, inclusiveness and global hyper-collaboration that accelerates their progress and growth.
ABELOW'S APPLIED FUTURISM: AN EXAMPLE
Can U.S. Utilities add ESG* with a Roadmap to become ESG Energy Companies?
Here's my opening Keynote to a 2-Day ESG Conference by leading U.S. Utilities, the industry that produces 25% of U.S. greenhouse gases
How could utilities become global ESG energy companies?
This keynote provides a roadmap for utilities and businesses to switch from profiting from problems to profiting from solutions.
First, utilities could deliver Universal ESG Success to every person privately on their existing devices, and improve their lives.
Second, they could grow into ESG Energy Companies with platforms that drive a global ESG Solutions Economy.
Their reward could be trillion-dollar company valuations, from growing a sustainable planet where everyone's daily life and consumption help end the climate crisis.

DELIVER INNOVATIONS THAT SUCCEEd AT LAUNCH
Great "User Experiences" make Innovations Succeed on Their First Day, and in Their Every Use
What's next in design, CX (Customer Experience) and UX (User Experience)?
Most projects were done as a remote expert for a business unit or global team. Typically led at key milestones (designs, prototypes, builds, confirmation before launches, key updates, etc.). User tests were either remote or done on-site where-ever needed (U.S., Europe, Asia). Usually ran 25 to 35 projects/initiatives per year.
Discovered major problems and solved them rapidly for many kinds of businesses, new technologies, products, services and operations.
Expertly created scalable UX processes, frameworks and methodologies. Applied them to drive successes in business units and corporate functions. Frequent evangelist for UX/CX/design. Many processes were adopted by clients. Assisted with adoptions, rollouts and integrated uses.
As the founder and principal consultant of Breakthrough UX (formerly Breakthrough Usability), Dan added hundreds of UX and CX advances for world-leading companies.
Some contributions:
- Example: The go-to UX lead and expert for 7 years for an industry-leading company, during which its revenues grew from $6 billion to $22 billion. Improved many products that became #1 in their categories. Helped drive billions in growth and revenues.
- Example: The UX lead on a Cross-Business Task Force that redesigned a product line stuck at $250 million/year revenues. Shipped a full redesign of two lead products in under 6 months. Sales rose to $1.1 billion in a year. Solution was rolled across 36 products. Business unit revenue grew to $2 billion in 2 years, and $4 billion in 3 years.
- Example: Advanced the company's e-commerce paradigm from separate online tools to a unified user dashboard that displays each customer's current purchases, steps and statuses. Transformed the buying and support experiences. Increased online user satisfaction to higher than the company's in-person businesses and services. Enabled online sales to deliver about 90% of $22 billion revenues, and online support to deliver about 80% of support.
- Example: Designed, built and ran 5 online user learning and testing frameworks to accelerate the speed and global scale of UX improvements. Some frameworks were broad across multiple businesses. Included up to 9 business units with consistent user success metrics, problem discovery and prioritized problems/improvements.
- Example: Facilitated and reported 18 months of global customer meetings for a world-leading enterprise's redesign of its website and online services. Typical meetings were 2 days in a regional resort where about 40 major customers provided critical feedback of new designs and ideas to 25 to 35 development teams. Each meeting used a wide range processes for customer feedback, testing and learning.
- Example: Served a firm as its Usability Assurance Architect, to improve systems built by over 5,000 development teams worldwide. Designed and field-proved their formally adopted UX processes. Helped with rollout to add UX to projects and proposals, helping the firm repeatedly win and deliver 7 to 9-figure contracts. Frequently flown in to pitch a client's senior executives. Received two firmware awards.
- Example: UX lead on a team that transformed hundreds of knowledge management (KM) databases into a unified KM resource that became the firm's main platform for local operations worldwide. Then did the UX that improved many areas in this KM platform. Delivered two UX keynotes at annual firmwide conferences.
