Research and Development Strategy Consulting
Our research and development strategy consulting has helped many leading companies, across a range of industries, maximize their returns on R&D investments. But delivering superior returns often requires transformational change: treating R&D as an integrated innovation system.
Leading the Way
Too many companies leave money on the table in their core businesses. More than 80% of executives say they are not even close to achieving full potential in their core business. A major area of uncertainty and potential impact on returns is R&D. Our research and development strategy consultants help companies find the untapped growth potential and unrealized cost savings by focusing R&D efforts in their core businesses on efforts with high potential ROI.
The “R” in R&D starts with an idea, an inspiration, or an insight. The path toward developing that idea or insight into a viable product or service can be fraught with uncertainty, hidden costs, dead ends, and roadblocks. We’ll help your company ensure you’re investing in R&D that goes in the right direction: toward growing your core businesses with projects that carry the potential for strong returns.
Going to Work for You
Some companies hit a wall in their current business and fail to successfully redefine their core. We help firms find successful platforms, often within their own businesses, along with new customer insights and capabilities, to renew their business model. Research and development is a critical part of this effort. If you don’t innovate, you stagnate; however, if you dive into uncharted waters without a firm understanding of how your R&D may impact your core business, you risk sinking the ship. We develop insights that work for our clients. Our approach and recommendations are highly customized and lead to practical actions.
