What We do
Provide context, insight, and ideas for developing business, projects, ad organizations in complex, difficult markets, and across multiple domains.
Technology Evaluation
More than 35 years experience with technologies for bioscience research, medical diagnostics, and material science.
Cross-Cultural Management
Decades of ground-level engagement with private commercial and governmental enterprises across Asia, Europe, and North America, also working closely with a network active in the Mideast, Africa and Latin America.
Strategic Vision Development
We help develop strategic visions for companies across a broad range of ventures, technologies, projects, and countries.
Uncover Opportunities
In complex emerging markets, new opportunities come from creative connections developed across multiple domains, institutions, cultures, and regions. For example, a Ukrainian veterinary trauma surgeon developing 3D surgical implants matched with Estonian AI and veterinary imaging capabilities, and collaborations with distribution networks and technical universities across the world.
Cross-Domain Synthesis
Different types of technologies such as material science and biotechnology, within local geographic, cultural, and social constraints can combine in novel ways, and we help facilitate the synthesis.
Solutions for Complex Problems
Examples include: Potential BSL-3 and biopharma in Egypt; BCG vaccine manufacturing facility in Manila; Distribution and sales channel development in emerging markets, Thalassemia diagnostics in Vietnam and Thailand; New veterinary division for a major life science distributor; AI marketing counterintelligence capability for private companies; Multicultural and cross-border management advisory services.
