Dan Hutcheson's Profile

General
Dan Hutcheson Dan Hutcheson , USA
About me : I am CEO and Chairman of VLSI Research Inc as well as the director of several web site businesses, including weSRCH.com. My career spans more than thirty years, in which I became a well-known as a visionary for helping companies make businesses out of technology. This includes hundreds of successful programs involving product development, positioning, and launch. I am also well recognized for my work in the economics of innovation and have a proven track record of being able to predict trends accurately using the economic models I develop. I have authored numerous publications on the strategic and tactical aspects of how to succeed in the business of technology, which includes the book, Maxims of Hi-Tech Rules of Engagement for a Fast Changing Environment or how to thrive in what is the extreme sport of business, now in its third printing. Scientific American invited me to author two articles on the demise of Moore's Law and how scientists' innate abilities to innovate outpace the doomsayers. I have been the keynote or invited speaker at dozens of conferences, including the Robert S. Strauss Center's Technology, Innovation and Global Security Speaker Series, which brought world-renowned experts to the University of Texas campus to discuss how to sustain innovation and better utilize modern technology to benefit an increasingly global economic and social system. Most recently I had the honor of being awarded SEMI's coveted Bob Graham Award for Excellence in Marketing. I am arguably best known for his forecasting of strategic infrastructure shifts and his early-eighties development of the first factory cost-of-ownership models, which are now the basis for most large-scale capital decision-making. My pro bono work has included serving as an advisor on innovation to the White House Council of Economic Advisors, teaching invited courses on Manufacturing Economics and The Economics of the Internet at Stanford University, and serving on the Board of Advisors to the Extension School at UC Berkeley. My work at UC Berkeley helped the Extension School avoid wasting millions on capital acquisitions, as well as developing the 'Lifelong Learning' strategy that was key in turning this part of the University into a profit center for UC Berkeley.
