What are I3vation Objectives?
“The importance of I3VATION”
– A means of generating I3vation to achieve two objectives that are implicit in any good strategy:
- make best use of and/or improve what we have today
- determine what we will need tomorrow and how we can best achieve it, to avoid the Dinasaur Syndrome
– I3vative thought has, as a prime goal, the object of improving competitiveness through a perceived positive differentiation from others in:

Our I3vative Idea Development
The I3vation Process
Our I3vation Process
- I3vation starts as an idea/concept that is refined and developed before application.
- I3vations may be inspired by reality (known problem). The I3vation (I3vative idea development) process, leads to useful economic and social impact and requires:
-Research
-Development (up-scaling, testing)
-Production
-Supply
-Marketing
-Usage
- Experience with our product/process results in feedback and leads to incrementally/radically improved I3vations.
Our I3vative Idea Development Stages
- I3Vation
- Screening
- Concept Development and Testing
- Business Analysis
- Beta Testing and Market Testing
- Technical Implementation
- Commercialization
