Strategic Consulting Case Studies
Corporate Innovation Training, Senior Leadership, Japanese Automotive Company
Provided corporate training to a group of European executives from one of the leading automotive companies in Japan. The group was interested in learning about Open Innovation and technology transfer best practices, based on the experience of Stanford University.

Feedback from the group was overwhelmingly positive, as the executives found the content “interesting and memorable”.
IP Monetization Strategy, RFID Patent Portfolio, Private Equity Investors
Engaged by Private Equity investors to evaluate the IP position of one of its portfolio companies, with a significant patent portfolio related to RFID asset tracking technology. The company was looking to initiate a licensing campaign, and license its patents across several industries. Our Addressable Market Prioritization analysis was conducted to identify, prioritize and value the top addressable markets for licensing. We implemented Foresight’s proprietary decision criteria model, sorting through 16 potential markets and prioritizing them by indicators related to the economic and IP characteristics of each market. The licensing potential in each of the top markets was then calculated, based on the licensing potential and the specific players in each market, using risk-adjusted royalty models and market size information obtained through Foresight’s comprehensive research.
IP Strategy for Emerging Technologies, 3D Printing Startup
Advised a 3D printing startup on the business and revenue model to pursue as the company was planning to bring a novel, patented 3D printing technology to market. The technology offered faster and higher resolution printing capabilities and involved the creation of a new printer. The analysis included mapping the industry IP landscape to understand the company’s positioning, creating a manufacturing business model to better understand the funding needs, and analyzing alternative business models for the company’s ancillary businesses (resins, printing services, etc.). The company used Foresight’s analysis and recommendations in their presentations to investors and potential partners.
