Harnessing the trend ofDIGITIZATION
Since the 1960's real-world products and services have been distributed through the realm of cyberspace. As a marketing tool, exposure to highly-targeted pools of local and international audience members has seen innovative brands become household names at a rate previously unheard of in history. A number of agile, early-adopters of these competitive advantages have seen unprecedented successes, sometimes on a scale that can be difficult to comprehend. Accessible from anywhere, any time, the investors in the rapidly-scaling information technologies have sought not to replace, but to compliment their business' offerings. read more...

The SkunkWorks
WHAT WAS IS THE SKUNKWORKS?
In the 1940's, aerospace firm, Lockheed Martin, used a small team of experts unhindered by bureaucracy to develop secretive design and engineering projects that turned out innovative results, with sterling quality, ahead of schedule. These techniques have been applied to the rapid creation of proof-of-concept projects around the world. The aim of these projects is to test strategic and theoretical directions to asses the feasibility and effectiveness of any given technological initiative. HOW DOES IT APPLY? We facilitate rapid agile workshops and short-term POC (Proof of concept) projects to establish the viability of ideas before substantial investment into the initiatives can be committed. Bare-bones POC projects, when well-managed, are able to uncover insight into the potential social and economic value of these initiatives. read more... |
