Corporations often require creative, innovative, entrepreneurial or simply objective outside skills to help them make the most of their capital, assets and resources. IceVista has experience in assisting companies in these areas, and many of our people have had previous careers in large organisations.

Creativity and Innovation Benchmarking

IceVista has experienced people in the area of creativity and innovation training and benchmarking. We can assist you by developing a standalone plan (or one that is part of a bigger culture change programme) to make measurable change in the company’s innovation.

Incubation

Many companies battle with the need to innovate and incubate fresh ideas, products and services; while at the same time ensuring that their cash cows still provide the necessary liquidity. Those ideas can become either new products or services for the company, or the source of IP or spinout opportunities. IceVista can assist companies develop the appropriate plans and processes (based on experience and not just knowledge) to ensure your R&D spend is more of an investment and less of a cost.

IP Assessment and Commercialisation Strategies

IceVista has assisted companies in the past by assessing which IP (patents, know-how etc) are lying dormant within a company. We can assess that IP and assist you in determining whether or not the patents should be dropped to save cost or commercialised in some way within or outside the company.

Spinout / Spinoff

Many companies have entrepreneurs or business concepts which are valid or promising in their own right, but do not fit the company’s core business or strategic objectives. IceVista works with companies to identify these opportunities and develop appropriate strategies to successfully commercialise those concepts outside the corporation while ensuring the company gets the value it has helped create.

Divestment

Not all business ventures end up being as successful or as strategically important as they were once thought to be. Let's face it, things change. IceVista can assist corporations, when this happens, in developing a strategy to sell, spinout, or shut down the entity in question.

Venturing

Several successful corporations recognise that they need to know more about the market than they do, and need to keep a constant eye out for new technologies or concepts which may give them a competitive edge or potentially be a threat / competitor to their business. Others realise that their in-house skills and market knowledge allow them to make better downstream value judgments and hence wish to exploit that by making investments in high growth potential companies. IceVista can assist you in putting the appropriate structures in place (working with legal, tax and other experts). We also offer an outsourced management service to guide these investments from deal sourcing to exit.
