Emerging Technologies
Analyzing and optimizing research investments
Organizations responsible for the next generation of technologies to support core strategic positioning are faced with huge opportunities and daunting challenges. They must determine key technologies for success, how underlying economics will evolve, the impacts of pending policy and regulation, technology deployment, and expected returns.
Navigant’s Energy team helps clients evaluate technology investments, including their costs, risks and benefits, taking into account the strategic context of long-term goals. We blend seasoned technologists and industry specialists with specialized R&D management tools to enable clients to make the most informed decisions.
Commercializing and exploiting emerging technologies
As technology emerges from the laboratory and commercialization begins, the result presents opportunity for some companies and threatens the survival of others. Companies are seeking technologies that extend the life of assets, improve reliability and availability of equipment, improve operations, provide efficiency gains and decrease losses, and reduce manpower requirements. Emerging technologies can lead to new value propositions, services, markets, and business models but also catch an organization off guard and represent a significant competitive threat.
