| Who are the
key people behind successful
technology investments? Could adoption of an
emerging technology transform one of your suppliers,
collaborators or even customers into
a competitor?
Where will
that technology emerge? Should you be partnering
in some way to minimise risks, reduce costs, and
shorten time to market - and cash?
|
| Are the
finance, marketing, operations and technology
resources in place to ensure that an emerging
technology will win through? Is there a big
enough unfulfilled market need? Some technology areas are
still evolving rapidly with the potential to
create opportunities for new or agile competitors
to grow and profit from the refined value chain.
Which of these
technology areas is still generating emerging technology? Which are
still over-hyped? Which are now under-valued?
Which are maturing? Which are going nowhere?
Which threatens to kill an existing line of your
business? Which promises to create a new $multiB
market for someone? Could it be you?

| Who do you
think are the stars behind these technolgies - let
us know. |
| If you don't
know the answers, we can help by profiling your
business against a series of emerging technology
threats and opportunities. Strategic
Technology Profiling will help you create
more options for your company's, and your,
future. Whether you are a technology creator,
investor, or exploiter we can help by advising on
whether, where, when, and with whom you should
partner and why. Strategic
Technology Partnering will
help you make the right choice and avoid most of
the perils and pitfalls of partnering. |
| If you would
like us to give a definition - or opinion - of
one of the above technologies - let us know; we
can also help when a technology project goes
wrong. |
