Opportunity Framing & Innovation Guidance
Effective innovation depends on framing the opportunity correctly at the outset. We help organisations examine emerging ideas, technologies, or challenges in a structured manner so they can progress with clarity and avoid committing resources prematurely or without alignment.
What We Do
Our work supports teams in clarifying what an opportunity is — and is not — by exploring its drivers, boundaries, and practical implications. Typical activities include:
- Defining the problem space and desired outcomes
- Testing assumptions about feasibility, value, and timing
- Identifying enabling technologies, partners, and routes forward
- Highlighting uncertainties and areas requiring early validation
How We Work
We use structured inquiry, evidence review, and collaborative working sessions to help teams develop a consistent understanding of the opportunity and its strategic relevance. The emphasis is on intellectual clarity, informed decision-making, and alignment with the organisation’s broader direction.
The output is a reasoned, transparent assessment of the opportunity and the actions required to take it forward.
Typical Engagements
- Early-stage exploration of novel concepts or technologies
- Shaping proposals, business cases, or innovation pathways
- Preparing for R&D investment decisions or funding calls
- Supporting internal alignment on strategic priorities
Example Outputs
- Opportunity definition and scope statements
- Evidence-led feasibility assessments
- Strategic options with associated implications
- Recommended next steps and validation activities
Our role is to bring structure, clarity, and discipline to the front end of innovation.
