Improving the Innovation Process
Posted by Bain Hollister on 27 October 2009 | 0 Comments
An excellent late afternoon session organised by Wayne Hudson and the folks at Hudson Gavin Martin today on improving the innovation process in New Zealand. Kristian Slack of InnovIQ kicked things off with a presentation on Productivity of Investment in Innovation, which provided great context for a robust discussion on IP challenges in startup companies and the general state of the patent industry both in NZ and abroad. NZ is in an interesting place in terms economy, geography, and demographics to capitalise on the changes in IP protection and management that may evolve globally - particularly around trends toward open innovation frameworks. Some great stories, ideas and anecdotes shared in the spirit of collaboration.
Technology New Zealand
Posted by Bain on 6 August 2008 | 0 Comments
Last Thursday ClearPoint we guest presented at the Auckland ICT Cluster. In keeping with our core organisation values, we presented ICT New Zealand. In essence, this presentation captures our belief that technology has a critical role to play in supporting New Zealand’s economic prosperity – for all businesses big or small. The general approach is to look at international themes and local pressures to put into context ICT strategy and emerging trends and how they can add value to New Zealand businesses. We see enormous potential in coupling kiwi “No8″ design flair with the very cheap, highly commoditised utility computing services available internationally. The key we believe is getting design right, leveraging technology and thinking beyond our shores.
