Innovation is substantially easier than you think!

You just need to know how to nurture it.

ID Uses innovation strategies for efficient and competitive development.

Effective transition of innovative strategies through specified field directives can be achieved within any organisation. If allowed to be implemented correctly, this will minimise management involvement, speed up development and maximise information collation to add value to your company’s core competencies.

Feasibility Analysis

Often used to identify the cost and value of a project. Broken down further, feasibility uncovers the opportunities available and threats presented by external forces to a new business venture. It helps analyse internal strengths and weaknesses for successful implementation.

The following factors need to be considered if feasibility is to be correctly monitored:

Political
Economic
Social
Technical
Environment
Environmental
Legal
Operational
Scheduling

ID will also look at accomplishing the following tasks to strengthen your project or business case:

Generate House of Quality
Generate User Profile
Generate User Requirement Specification
Carry out International Patent searches
Establish Regulatory Issues (may need consultant)
Estimate of the budget costs of the development programme
Estimate budget unit costs (of manufacture (subject to manufacturer used)
Establish manufacturing techniques used
Determine the design
Prove principle

Innovation Management -Triz / Serendipity / Knowledge Transfer

Innovation does NOT happen by accident.

Some of our innovation services can be seen below:

Innovation Management
New Business Creation – identifying new business streams from current assets

R&D Performance Improvement – maximising the value from investment in R&D

Technology Planning – making and implementing the right strategic investments in technology

Exploitation of Intellectual Property – identifying valuable IP and defining and implementing routes to realising value

Transaction Support for Investors – technology and commercial due diligence

Strategy for Technology Embedded Businesses – providing the right direction to maximise business value when technology is crucial to success.

Innovation is the conception perception and implimentation of new solutions for new needs, using new methods. Innovative development techniques are often based around new knowledge acquired to form new ideas that create or improve products, services, processes and/or technologies.

Once information has been collated, the next step requires the audit of internal systems. The cost of implementation to maximise commercial value, and the adoption of transfer technology needs to integrate with company structure, behaviour and capabilities.

These alternative generations can be used in future planning for growth and the attainment of investment and funding.

Designers and innovators often have one goal: The provision of effective problem solving.

TRIZ and Serendipity techniques enable us to cover a greater expanse of transverse technologies. When our customers use our knowledge acquisition and technology auditing services, the best concepts are extracted.

Concept engineering is almost certainly one of the most crucial factors for innovative solutions.

TRIZ is an information collation strategy, formulated by Genrich S. Altshuller, born in the former Soviet Union in 1926. Its purpose is to specify systems, technology and processes outside the experience of a typical design environment. Only recently, with the explosion of IT & communications, has TRIZ been given an amazing platform for groundbreaking implementation. With many companies working for improvement in today’s industrial design methodologies, TRIZ and other forms of Serendipity are used within knowledge management and resource collation. ID can work with TRIZ to explore areas that have not previously been considered.

Many companies incorporate barriers to new thinking, as they grow. Companies become risk-averse and form hierarchies which in turn can hinder innovative thinking. In an era when investors insist on a rapid growth, such companies have to learn how to find large, valuable opportunities and realise them quickly.

To quickly gain knowledge and to accumulate transferable capital, we have to approach each NPD (New Product Development) project in overlap. As ID gains knowledge within each sector, skills will be u-turned back into each industry to add more value for our customers and to capitalise fully on each innovation. Any new technology can then often be licensed out and in turn create new waves in many other market sectors.

Differentiation Analysis

Today’s market is highly competitive and it is vital for a company and its products to obtain a competitive edge. With use of innovative techniques, differentiation offers value for money. ID has the skill and expertise to ensure that you stay one step ahead of your competition.

Technology Management – Bring cutting edge technology to market with speed!
Once information has been collated, new technologies require auditing for viability, cost, commercial value, and identification of how to reach saturation. ID can halp you acheive this.

Serendipity has become the Zeitgeist of technology management in New Product Development in all industries. Expertise in this area holds the key to successful technology and research.

Depending on the extent of innovating within Horizon technologies, ID can also predict expected time to market and the value of the preliminary assessment.

Intellectual Property Management

Intellectual Property Rights are of foremost importance in providing security. Patents and IPR such as Design Rights, Copyrights and Trademarks are a lucrative area and can supply sole ownership in your target markets. These services, tailored to the individual design or technology, have different techniques of application.

We help with find the correct routes and identify your real IP value. Worldwide patent applications, searches and acquisition can be an expensive business, costing up to hundreds of thousands of pounds. We help you analyse originality and hence patentability of your products and technology.

Add value to your IP:
IP Exploitation
Technology IP Diversification
Brand Diversification
Patent Searches
Initial Drafting of Application to Reduce Lawyer costs
IP Time Management
Value Identification
Increase Infringement Protection

We can also develop patent drawings from our 3D concept models
