As a business development consultancy much of our current and past work is done under strict
Non-Disclosure Agreements. It’s very likely the work we do for you would be under similar agreements.
That said, we obviously can not list most of the projects we have worked on. What we can do is let
you know the kind of organizations we use to research what we do. Here is a list of innovative
organizations whose resources or research could positively affect your company.
Open Mobile Alliance facilitates global user adoption of mobile data services.
What started in 1973 as a strange new two-way radio has blossomed to over 4.5 billion cellphones world-wide.
Beyond communications, today’s cellphone provides services such as SMS (or text) messages, email, Internet
access, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera, MMS messaging, MP3 player, radio, GPS and computing power
driven by thousands of apps. Any company striving for success that does not have a mobile phone strategy
is at a distinct disadvantage.
You need to pose the question: how does a device that’s in the hands of 2
out every three persons on earth affect your company. What is your answer?
Microsoft TAG – Connecting Real Life with the Digital World!
A 2D-barcode is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by
Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. They added the term "QR" derived from "Quick Response" to what
became QR-code. Others picked up on this technology; Microsoft moved into this area and called it Microsoft TAG.
A Microsoft Tag is essentially a machine readable web link, analogous to a TinyURL link: when read, the Tag
application sends the HCCB data to a Microsoft server, which then returns the publisher's intended URL.
The Tag reader then directs the user's mobile browser to the appropriate website. This technology has
far-ranging possibilities in the business world. 2D-barcodes can do for newspapers and other publications just
what Microsoft says: it can connect traditional print to the Digital World! New barcodes such as these can also
ensure that information printed on a box can never be out of date. This brings all kinds of new opportunities
to the world of Logistics. Just imagine a haz-mat situation at 3:00 am when a load of boxes spill out of an
overturned semi-truck. Old barcodes at best gave you a manufacturer’s name, Microsoft TAGS can allow a first
responder to see just exactly what is at hand. How could this technology help your company?
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing,
and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives.
The Project Management Institute serves practitioners and organizations with
standards that describe good practices, globally recognized credentials that certify project management expertise,
and resources for professional development, networking and community. Like many professionals, we believe that
project management has become the basis of all business activities. Sometimes it is beneficial to bring in outside
resources to confront major projects. This is not an indication of a lack of internal skills as much as an
understanding that a new perspective is incredible helpful. Over time, organizations build up entire constructs
of “that’s not the way we do things” which make it very difficult for a new project to bring anything other than
the same old results. As project management professionals we know how to separate corporate knowledge from corporate
“culture.” Would a new perspective help on your new project large or small?
The Kauffman Foundation - the world's largest foundation
devoted to entrepreneurship!
No matter how revolutionary the research is, whether it’s done in a large
corporate research lab or by a couple of individuals in a garage down the street, nothing matters until an
entrepreneur steps forward. Whether it’s a vaccine, a new curriculum or a consumer electronic item, it has
little real impact while it stays in the lab. You would think that a country build on the many great inventions
of the last two hundred years would have a deep understanding of how entrepreneurship really works. Unfortunately,
that is not the case. The Kauffman Foundation stands like a beacon helping people understand how the process works.
As practitioners of business development, we support this effort and hope you will as well. This is a tremendous
resource for those interested in taking an idea from the research lab to the marketplace.
