Partnering with Corporations and Non-Profits

Better research. Bigger impact.

R&D programs that deliver.

Most organisations want to innovate. But what that looks like varies widely. And if you’re the one leading innovation in your business or not-for-profit it can be hard to get everyone on the same page – let alone talking the same language. We help you build the innovation culture, capabilities and resources you need to develop your organisation’s brightest ideas. From strategy design to innovation workshops, we’ll make sure your investment in innovation pays off.

No hype. Just high-performance.

We help corporate and not-for-profit innovation managers design, kickstart, manage and evaluate R&D programs. We don’t use buzzwords. We do use best-practice innovation standards and award-winning decision making tools. We make the complex simple and the tough decisions easier, and we’ve always got your back.

Solutions:

R&D and Innovation Benchmarking and Enhancement

You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you are. Innovation Navigator® is a simple, structured approach that delivers better performance and greater clarity from your innovation activity - underpinned by global ISO innovation standards. It’s a tailored and flexible program to overcome your biggest barriers and most pressing pains when it comes to innovation. And it’s underpinned by ISO 56002 Innovation Management System Standards so you know you’re taking a global best practice approach.

R&D and Innovation Strategy Design

To get optimum value from your research you need an R&D and innovation strategy that makes your effort more effective. Together we’ll co-design a strategy underpinned by the world’s best practice ISO innovation standards, so you have the best strategy to do your best work.

R&D and Innovation Project Design

You’re at the project design stage, and you want to do it ‘right’. The truth is there’s no single ‘right’ way to do innovation, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. So our approach starts with understanding you, your environment and what you need to achieve. Then we bring in the specialist expertise to design a project that delivers short, medium and long term value to your organisation.

R&D and Innovation Decision Support

R&D and innovation is all about decisions, and we’re known for our exceptional decision-making support. Our award-winning tools help you make tough decisions with confidence and clarity - like whether to push ahead with an idea or call it quits and move on. We optimise your processes so you can make informed, confident decisions at all stages of the R&D process, from stage-gate design to our award-winning Impact and Commercialisation (IC Readiness®) program.

Project Delivery

Need a fresh perspective or extra pair of expert hands to help you tackle a strategic project, industry challenge or out-of-the-box initiative? Our team brings unmatched technical and industry experience across a diverse range of sectors - from agriculture to aquaculture and fisheries, biotechnology to environment, manufacturing to water. We’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t) so we can give your project a head start and coach you to the finish line.

Team Skills Development

Innovation is powered by people, and we’re here to bring out the best in yours! With over 40 R&D and innovation management modules, we design custom training solutions to meet your needs.
