Innovation Discovery Programme
Unlocking Innovation in the built environment

IDP - The Programme

Innovation Strategy: We utilise our powerful and unique approach to innovation to help our clients identify those areas of their business or products that would derive most benefit from technological innovation. This includes identifying where they must innovate to succeed, what the hurdles are that need to be overcome, and how they access the technology to differentiate themselves from their competitors and get true commercial advantage.

Technology Discovery: We will undertake detailed briefings with technology partners - such as materials scientists and process specialists - to provide clients with the ability to access information on 'disruptive' technologies . A 'Technology Discovery Report' will set out the best solutions, prioritised according to the agreed assessment criteria.

Commercial and Technical Due Diligence: We will provide clients with independent commercial and technical due-diligence. We are in the unique position to be able to bring a wealth of management and commercial experience along with significant technical understanding to assist clients in the process of due-diligence for a project, opportunity or 'new' technology. We may even be able to suggest more appropriate 'alternative' technologies to meet your commercial objectives.

Technology Adoption: Invariably in all technology transfer negotiations there is an 'imbalance of bargaining power' between the technology acquirer and the technology owner. This is exaggerated by miss-aligned or miss-understood objectives, which are often hampered by confused communication. Through our extensive management experience we can bring the benefit of understanding both perspectives and the communication issues and commercial assumptions encountered, to assist in mediating the transaction to a successful conclusion for both parties.
