does not equal knowledge – it’s useful,
but unless you can’t take that data and use
it to change or validate the course you’re on,
it doesn’t mean anything.Figure out how to synthesize

INNOVATIONS MANAGEMENT
It
is of paramount and central interest to understand
the determinants of economic performance,
and to acknowledge how economic performance
differs across nations, and over time. Undoubtedly
a country’s level of technological competence
is seen as the basic factor constraining its
productivity, with technological advance the
central driving force behind economic growth.
Therefore, mastering and advancing technology
is a central way to affect economic performance.
However, technological competence without
valorisation of innovations deriving from
technology is most of the time at the core
and a big factor constraining productivity
and economic growth. The failure of many countries
and industries are related to the lack of
the valorization of their intellectual properties
portfolios or assets. Our expertise is to
assist in overcoming these difficulties by
managing efficiently their innovation portfolios
and assisting in strengthening and securing
their intellectual propertie assets.

(Building
up a portfolio of Stage and Gate processes
for ideas from easy ideas (just-do-it process)
to big and bold ideas).
A
Stage-Gate System is a conceptual and operational
road map for moving a new-product project
from idea to launch. Stage-Gate divides the
effort into distinct stages separated by management
decision gates (gatekeeping). |
