Strategy
We work with our clients to identify the technologies which are right for them, those which will deliver measurable results, given the uniqueness and specificity of each organization (objectives, resources, culture, etc.)
We can also assist with or lead the implementation and deployment of these technologies, from planning to execution .
Training
Whether group training or one-on-one mentoring we deliver practical, pragmatic, and decision-enabling content that can be tailored to any organization’s specific needs. Our target audiences go from scientists to managers and executives.
Processes
We have a proven track-record in the analysis and optimization of existing processes, or the development of new ones. In the case of organizational mergers we work objectively to combine strengths and value into unified processes.
Examples which we are currently working on include trait introgression, genotype construction, genomic selection, germplasm management.
Projects
We support projects from pilots to full-scale implementation. Our offer covers all stages of a project, from conception all the way to a posteriori review.
Organization
Working from each client’s specific situation, we advise on organizational changes needed to take full advantage of the implementation of new technologies.
This may include designing new roles or functions and their interactions, while ensuring complete alignment with the organization’s objectives.
Partnerships, Acquisitions, Investments
We conduct technical reviews and due diligence for acquisitions or equity investments. We help manage change in R&D organizations with post-mergers or acquisitions.
