The coordination problem

Research moves slowly without an owner.

It rarely stalls in the science.

  • -consortia take twelve to eighteen months to assemble
  • -technology transfer is rarely commercialised
  • -universities and companies speak different languages
  • -EU research funding rewards coordination
  • -partnerships stall without a driver
  • -commercialisation needs executive ownership

Most research partnerships die in coordination.

We own the coordination.

The rationale

Why companies work with me.

Ownership
One accountable owner for the outcome - not a vendor, not a deliverable, not a process.
Long-term thinking
Decisions framed in years, not the next deadline, round or application cycle.
Coordination
Funding, partnerships and growth kept aligned - so leadership is not pulled in three directions.
Leadership
An executive presence inside the team, not a consultant outside it.
Execution
Strategy carried through to result by the person who owns it.
Building internal capability
Knowledge and process transferred to your team - so the company becomes self-sufficient.
