Technology innovation needs a viable economic model

We align technology, processes, resources, partnerships and revenue mechanisms to build sustainable initiatives.

● Strategy and diagnostics● Architecture and design● Validation and transfer

When it is relevant

Problems we address

The engagement is configured around maturity, available evidence and the desired outcome.

  • The technology is promising, but its economic value is unclear.
  • The revenue model is vulnerable to disruption.
  • The project is built around funding rather than impact.
  • The consortium, activities and result exploitation are misaligned.

Components

Business models, resilience and innovation projects

We select the relevant modules and connect them in a coherent architecture with explicit decision points.

01

Innovation business plans

Value, customers, ecosystem, revenue, resources, investment, cost and scenarios.

02

Business-model innovation

Servitisation, platforms, data, subscription, usage and circular models.

03

Resilience and recovery

Vulnerabilities, dependencies, scenarios, portfolio and early risk indicators.

04

R&D and investment projects

Consortium, objectives, architecture, activities, deliverables, budgets and exploitation.

Possible deliverables

Possible deliverables

Deliverables are agreed contractually and tailored to the decisions they must support.

  • Business model and scenarios
  • Resilience plan
  • Project architecture
  • Work packages and budget
  • Exploitation and sustainability plan

Working method

From analysis to validation

The project can cover the full workflow or only the required stages.

  5. 05Impact

Project benefits

Decision-oriented outcomes

  • Explicit value and impact
  • Systematically addressed economic risks
  • More coherent consortia and investments
Application example

Transfer-oriented research initiative

Objectives, contributions, validation and exploitation are designed together rather than added after activities are defined.

NEXT STEP

Build the project around value and impact, not funding alone.

Share the context, objective and main difficulty. We will define an appropriate assessment framework.
