Creating Innovation Platforms
There is a lot of talk nowadays about innovation in agribusiness. Innovation is nothing new; but for innovation to take place, there needs to be a supportive and inclusive process, this starts with the creation of Innovation Platforms. We work with you to create the environment for supporting and nurturing innovation. We help define and develop strategies for forming strong and inclusive partnerships, an important element of creating Innovation Platforms. Innovation Platforms can be driven at the farmer level, or within agribusiness, research or development circles; the common denominator is that all stakeholders along the agricultural value chain are involved. Let us help you to embrace innovation through developing Innovation Platform strategies to create 'on the ground' change!
Strategic thinking starts here
We help lead organisational change and build capability by providing support and thought leadership in relation to strategic thinking and planning. Utilising highly participatory driven workshops, we take teams through strategic planning review processes in a step by step manner. We critically review existing systems of operation and people management. We ask the hard questions that need to be asked. We research and appraise leadership team performance. We assess and review people skills and identify training and capacity needs to bring balance to the team. We help provide strategic focus and and opportunities to build business, partnerships, markets and impact. We develop shared solutions, and establish roadmaps for the implementation of improved systems.
Creating sustainable food production systems
We work with our customers help respond to the impact of climate change and the intensive pressures placed on farming systems in order to develop sustainable and resilient food production systems. We provide tailored services according to the objectives and required project outcomes. We are highly skilled at developing targeted research to help find the right answers and map the pathway forward using evidence-based recommendations. We identify strategies for integrating innovation and best management practices into achieving sustainable food production systems, working from the ground up. We focus on opportunities to develop the capacity of stakeholders to lead change. We are inquisitive, we know the right questions to ask, we help develop shared solutions and pathways to sustained food and water security.
