Our process and toolset have been developed over several years, and been used and refined in order to simplify a potentially difficult process. It delivers careful analysis in support of strategic decision-making. Furthermore, it builds dialogue between core functions within your business who are charged with delivering growth opportunities, thus ensuring commitment to successful implementation.

Technology strategy was pioneered in the chemical and high tech industries, as ways to deal with the most critical and complex technology planning problems. Previous approaches focused on pushing technology to market, nu Angle's solution uniquely combines technology strategy with both technology-push and market-pull analysis.

We have helped CTOs and innovation teams make the right investment decisions by applying our state-of-the-art Technology Strategy methodology. To support our customers, we have invested heavily in codifying our approach in a bespoke Microsoft Excel application.

A worked case example is available for download from this page, together with a user guide and a map of the key parts of the spreadsheet tool.

The tool is designed as a process support tool, rather than a consumer piece of software. Accordingly, we recommend that once you have had an initial look at the worksheets, you contact us for a walk through of the functionality and how it truly supports a useful and usable technology strategy process for your business.

Emphasis is very much on translating needs into implementation.

Modules enable the review of existing technology plans vs. needs, as well as the formulation of a technology strategy based on ‘Technology Areas’.

The tool is designed to capture essential aspects of planning and investment, such as: strategic objectives, planning, resourcing and gap analysis (see selected screenshots below).

There has been an explosive growth of technology-driven innovation in other industries, such as healthcare, automotive and consumer goods. The trend of open-sourced innovation, has greatly increased pressure on organizations to have a clear and objective understanding of what to invest in now to create growth platforms, what to watch out for in case of potential disruption and what to avoid or stop, in order to direct resources in a more profitable direction especially in a time of recession.
