Science & Technology

Organizations built around science or high-tech need to consistently innovate to remain competitive in the market. Their ability to deliver new and valuable products and services allows them to grow rapidly and dominate their space.

Although innovation and commercialization is crucial to these organizations, we have found that most fail to meet innovation expectations. Too often, innovation is done in an ad hoc manner, with high-costs and limited success. Strategic innovation is a term we use that describes when an organizations innovative process aligns with its strategy.

Knowing what to focus on and how to manage innovation from R&D to commercialization is critical. We can help. Our consultants have worked with many high-tech and science based firms to develop sustainable innovation and commercialization strategies resulting in the distribution of new products and sustainable growth.

Science and Technology firms too often than not are just that – science and technology. Although IT is important, the people that run an organization and help its customers are the critical other half of the equation.

High-growth organizations need to have to be a well-oiled HR machine – ensuring that the organization has the right people in the right positions for sustainable growth. Mature organizations benefit from having lean HR practices in place to minimize costs and increase efficiency. If your organization does implementation, having the right sales team and IT project teams can be a critical differentiator between you and your competitors.

Wherever effective HR is needed, we can help. Our senior consultants and project managers can help you with your strategy, implementation, or both. We can sit beside you to help determine how best to maximize your resources for superior results.

High-tech companies are famous for high-growth; becoming multi-billion corporations within a couple short years. Rapid growth brings many challenges – often times the organization and its management just does not know how to keep up with the many changes happening, quality starts to suffer, and growth rapidly slows or even goes negative. Having a strong and agile growth strategy and business plan is critical for ongoing, sustainable success.
