SERVICES

To advance, set your sights on the future first
Phase 1. Get on track

Our service enables organisations and their leadership to get on track so that they address the core strategic implications of a future built on a mix of advanced technology products, processes, and models that are now beginning to fundamentally shift the market landscape on the customer demand and supply side across industry, agriculture and the urban built environment.

 

From here, businesses can begin refining and building the required capability to deliver new solutions, establish their competitive position, and reach new growth segments and markets. By gaining the advantage of a clear direction for their future, leaders can better direct enterprises to flourish in this era of great change, where:

  • A new intelligence is integrated across production, delivery networks and product systems; and

  • High efficiency, low energy, renewable, recyclable, closed-loop, low negative impact comes to define the value of products or assets in the market place and especially for customers.

Phase 2. Generate Real Options

We aim to support and enable your enterprise to develop real options that are practical, strategic and specifically targeted at gaining the competitive advantage of advanced technologies and adapting to a different future. Real options, unlike financial options expand the number of future opportunities available to the enterprise, and aim to expand potential for expansion and diversification.

 

Enabling this change and productivity improvement are a range of advanced technologies, including: data access and visualisation; virtual design and construction; open source; digital design and manufacture, simulation and automation; new material and energy sources; distributed production; 3D printing; machine learning and the networking of physical objects using the internet. A diverse confluence of new techniques, software and hardware are now coming of age, are increasingly accessible and packaged, and are now expanding into diverse sectors as innovators create new value and often strike out current products, solutions and problems. 

Phase 3. Expand Capabilities 

Our holistic approach to delivering advice and developing solutions that expand your enterprises leadership capability is defined by our experience and strategic view across three linked market sectors where technology is created, supplied, and ultimately used to satisfy a demand. We have developed an enviable knowledge set, networks and insights working across: universities; technology research, development and commercialisation; local, state, and federal government; computing and clean technology applications; advanced manufacturing; technology adoption and design in architecture, engineering, infrastructure and property.

Phase 4. Lead A Whole Of Market Delivery Approach

Successful enterprises, that continue to grow, expand, diversify and evolve with new technology, are often active across three principal arenas of activity in the wider market ecosystem: Create, Supply and Demand. Active companies are typically gathering intelligence on advanced technology, forming partnerships, conducting research, sourcing or creating new intellectual property, developing new products and process solutions, demonstrating and experimenting, working with lead customers, stimulating early adoption and driving diffusion. We assist leaders to strengthen this activity, develop high impact outcomes and ensure they can effectively execute an advanced technology trajectory across their enterprise.

Create

At the front-end of the market there are many creators of advanced technology, which includes: knowledge, techniques, know-how, patents, devices, equipment, products and service solutions. Organisations in this segment of the market are focused on researching and developing new solutions that can be used by industry and bringing new products and processes to market.   

 

Due to the converging interaction of two major technology waves of advanced computing and nature technology, see The Perfect Wave, most enterprises will need to expand or develop diverse linkages to access the required knowledge, secure rights to available solutions or create new R&D partnerships.   

 

Organisations in the 'creative pool' who are the upstream creators, developers and suppliers of new advanced technology solutions, include: 

  1. Universities, Government research labs and centres, Independent or In-house specialist R&D centres of expertise. 

  2. Advanced technology focused Companies or Divisions and Start-ups.

Supply

At the 'centre' of the market are the producers and suppliers of goods and services to meet demand. Early adopters of advanced technology, in this segment of the market, have now begun to show signs of disrupting existing suppliers or gaining a competitive advantage over rivals. The early indicators of change and insights confirm the significance of this next major technology driven industrial revolution to an enterprises future.   

 

Enterprise leaders are developing new tools, new technologies and production processes, by re-tooling, retrofitting, and upgrading to adopt advanced technology across:

 

  • New products, design, development and innovation programs;

  • Production systems and operations; and

  • Procurement and sourcing supply decisions and solutions.

 

Enterprises in the 'supply pool', who lead the commercial design, production or delivery of products and services, include for example:

  1. Manufacturing and primary production.

  2. Architecture, design and engineering.

  3. FMCG, consumer products and retail.

Demand

It is well known that without demand there is no business in supply. But we also know that without supply there is no option available to meet demand. There now exist many enterprise examples where investment in the right advanced technology (AT) solutions has been highly successful with customers. These enterprises have cleverly tapped into demand trends for advanced technology and created a viable business supply model.

 

By systematically honing in on market needs organisations can avoid the mistake of a enterprise strategy largely built on their history and surveying customer wants. Like Henry Ford enunciated: "If I had asked the public what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse". 

 

Enterprises with a strategic interest in increasing adoption of advanced technology can form alliances, for example between:

  1. Companies supplying AT solutions.

  2. Architecture, Design and Engineering.

  3. Infrastructure and Asset Owners.

  4. Government, Community and NGO. 

  5. Industry and Regional Growth Bodies.

We know that to create effective growth options, leaders must deeply understand the market need, have an efficient means of production, clear route to market, a substantial customer value proposition and a planned pathway that minimises legacy systems from preventing adoption and develop solutions to the price point of the market. ​

START NOW, AND GET ON TRACK 

We believe there has never been a better time to create new solutions, upgrade and combine the old generation of technologies, production methods, products and services, with advanced technology. Now that many of the low hanging cost reduction gains have been reaped it is time to begin developing the next generation of revenue growing, value adding, cost and impact reducing solutions. 

 

We look forward to meeting you and your team to explore and define the advanced technology strategic direction to give your business a powerful future. So lets get started by meeting.
