Organisations need to innovate in order to keep up with a changing environment, and to respond to new threats and opportunities. VIRIA can help you innovate in-house, or can help you link up with external sources of innovation, ranging from new technologies, to manage change.
Change management strategies
Once you have developed your new strategy, how do you implement it across your organisation?
Staff, suppliers and customers can be resistant to change even when it is in their best interests – how are you going to successfully change corporate culture and practices in order to reduce risk, respond to new markets and keep up with environmental and regulatory change? VIRIA can help you to plan change and keep stakeholders positive during this process.
Are your employees fully trained on commercialisation issues around intellectual property management and negotiating technology deals? VIRIA can help you to acquire skills to help ensure that your staff don’t lose your organisation’s valuable secrets by saying too much, too soon.
How will you know whether your change management strategy has been successful? VIRIA can help you to develop and embed feedback and review systems so that you have an ongoing record of what is happening and its effects.
Research engagement
Do you know how Australian and international universities, co-operative research centres, medical research institutes and government laboratories can help you to improve your existing products?
Are you interested in licensing or acquiring new technologies from these organisations, but don’t know where to start?
Do you have contacts already with university researchers, but can’t manage the negotiations?
VIRIA can help you cut through the bureaucracy and understand the issues as the researchers see them, in order to speed negotiations, get the best deals and leverage co-funding opportunities.
Resource planning
Once you have your strategic plan, how do you make sure it all happens?
VIRIA can help you align your organisational skill requirements, propertyand financing strategies to your strategic objectives, to ensure that you can meet the goals you have set yourself. |
