Few companies have structured management of information and data beyond registered IP and managed portfolios. Yet, without connecting information and intellectual assets to the agreements that govern them, the full commercial value cannot be realised, and contractual compliance is not possible – causing great risk-exposure.
Getting this right is always about organisational design and mandates. Commercialising innovation is a business function that requires strategic direction, commercial decisions, and operational practice to be connected — across functions, disciplines, and teams. Most organisations are not built that way. Instead, they operate in silos – Legal, R&D, IP, and Business — often reinforced by engaging external expertise that mirrors the same divisions: traditional lawyers, patent attorneys, business consultants. In the new and fast evolving digital landscape, understanding the implications of data-streams and uses of AI has become imperative. EU regulations on data and AI have increased the urgency to differentiate between what is required, what is advisable and what is optional or even overreaching.
IAM conducts diagnostic assessment and – where needed – provides operational tools that connect disciplines and expertise across organisational boundaries around a coherent commercial direction. IAM is engaged by R&D intensive scale-ups as well as established industry companies, and also by VC companies and innovation support providers.
From board-level strategic advisory and organisational maturity assessment to operational implementation — lowering risk exposure and making the commercial ambition attainable.
