Advisory Services

Whether you need some brief advice on a transaction or business arrangement, or you need a more detailed and bespoke longer term engagement such as the development of an IP asset management strategy, Metis Partners can help.

We also have a number of high-impact assignments which address a range of different business challenges and can be completed within a two week timescale (see below).

What’s consistent in all assignments is that we outline the process, fee structure and seek clear confirmation of the anticipated ROI to make sure you get the results you are looking for. Below is a summary of the high-impact short engagements we offer clients;

Business Model Review: Designed for companies who are underperforming and need a quick analysis of their current business model (IP assets). The objective of the review is to contextualize the business’ problems using our model and identify improvements that can be made to enhance business performance.

R&D and Innovation: Focused on assessing the innovation track record and strategy of the business. This assignment will help assess the current and proposed R&D and innovation activities and will identify the changes required to make them successful drivers of business growth.

Market Positioning: Focused on assessing the company’s current business model (IP assets) and market position relative to competitors. The aim is to assess the current offering, market expectations and to identify any changes, including creating real barriers to entry, to improve the performance of the business.

Crash Course in Commercialisation: Geared towards companies considering new product development (“NPD”) or taking new services to market. This assignment focuses on analysing possible internal development of NPD, through creating the right business model, or externalising NPD through licensing / other commercialisation strategies.
