Developing ideas & innovations

It makes no difference what your field is or whether you have commercial success or the public good in your sights: we can help you get there.

We are structured to focus on solving problems and doing the right things at the right time. We will guide you and your project forwards, step by step. Sometimes things move fast, but many projects we work on are complex and demand a slow and steady build-up.

What matters is open dialogue along the way. At first, there are usually more questions than answers. That is normal. What you need to be ready with at that stage is your idea – and your commitment. Without you, there is no project to work on.

An idea with a future?

Once you have described your idea, we begin by taking stock. We sit down together to look at the demand, the market and competitors, and whether you can protect your idea. From there, we discuss the best way to carry your idea forward. We factor in everything from your own ambitions to the state of the market and what collaborations will be needed.

With the key questions answered and the outlines of a business idea or a positioning strategy, it is time to decide if yours is an idea with a future. We test and iterate, we identify and minimise risks, and together we take the project forward.

When we are confident that your idea has a future, we will focus on filling in any gaps. That might mean getting ready to start a company, or it might mean putting together the information needed by partners, investors, or other stakeholders to take the idea forward. 

This is the stage when our work draws to a close and the project is ready to forge ahead.

We will of course continue to assist you further if you wish, and we have extensive networks locally, regionally, and nationally.
