What We Do
KTI Idea Journey and Business Idea Generation Outline
Knowledge Transfer International Ltd (KTI) is an innovation and Technology Transfer company supporting established SMEs, early phase micro businesses and individuals wanting to start a business.
The company uses a range of techniques in all of these areas of need. In particular KTI helps businesses to generate ideas for new or improved products, processes or services. The approach we use is a Structured Innovation process which means that a consistent methodology is applied to finding ideas, selecting ideas and developing a forward action plan geared to the strategic objectives of the company.
Breakthrough ideas, disruptive technologies, discontinuous change, the very elements that the Structured Innovation process will identify, need the engagement of senior company decision-makers. Without such commitment these opportunities can easily fall by the wayside.
The KTI approach contrasts with other forms of innovation which are often random, intuitive and based on ‘eureka moments’. Of course these results are just as valid but do not benefit from all involved having a deep understanding of how and why seemingly fantastic ideas have emerged. Businesses claim to be ‘innovative’ without necessarily appreciating the structure of the innovation process.
Assessment tools and support measures are used to ensure, as far as possible, that the best ideas are taken into the product development cycle and then on to full commercialisation.
The aim is to assist the short term growth of businesses and to introduce a culture of creativity and innovation that will lead to further growth.
