  Vecta in Technology
  Are you a technology fanatic, conservative, sceptic, or Luddite? Which should you be in which situation?

Can you ever afford to "bet the company" on an emerging technology that may boost your company, and you, to a major competitive advantage?

Can you afford to let a competitor apply the technology before you? Would you get most value by moving first - or later?

 
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.
 
 

Our extended network ensures we have the expertise to help you solve just about any business or technology problem.
