We provide independent expert analyses of the market demand, competitive landscape, technology prospects, and regulatory issues in new business arenas.

| Opportunity Discovery |

Our orchestrated brainstorming process generates hundreds of ideas that are quickly screened by technical and market experts. We then explore the most promising opportunities in terms of their business attractiveness and fit with clients' strategy and capability.

We help clients take concepts to market. We guide client-commercialization teams, leading them through market and technical analyses, product development, and business planning.

| Consumer Demand |
| |
We specialize in consumer-adoption roadmaps using our proprietary VALS consumer psychographic segmentation system.
|
| Scenario Planning |
| |
Scenarios have proved to be one of the best ways to address the uncertainties inherent in strategy development. We pioneered scenario planning in the 1970s as a series of facilitated workshops that develop detailed descriptions of how entirely different future business environments might emerge.
|
| Strategy |
| |
We couple a consulting team of experienced technical and market experts with systematic processes for developing strategy. All strategy engagements are client-consultant joint efforts.
|
| Intelligence |
| |
We design and implement intelligence solutions to support technology product and strategic decisions. In addition, we provide critical streams of intelligence about changing conditions through our syndicated research programs.
|
| Technology Management |
| |
We diagnose clients' situations, show clients where their business processes and organizational design can improve, and then jointly design a plan for improvement. As part of a technology organization, we have been collecting and evaluating best practices in technology management for more than 30 years.

| Learning Strategy |

Our clients for learning strategy are both vendors of learning solutions and large enterprises that are undertaking major learning initiatives. We focus on the practical use of technology, combined with existing and new modes and methods of learning to improve the efficiency and impact of learning for business units, employees, partners, customers, and students in school. |
