Alcon Advies can help you plan and achieve your objectives in the field of corporate social responsibility. This is done through the development of future visions (roadmaps) for development prospects for your business or industry and the implementation of the roadmaps by providing technological advice.In addition, Alcon Advies can assist you in managing projects within your company and applying for grants to innovation projects.

The preparation of roadmaps is specialized work for which good knowledge of technological developments has to be linked to societal trends.Anticipating on upcoming changes will make a company less vulnerable and increases the chances of future success.

In completing the roadmap technological developments often play an important role (but also non-technological innovation is a key issue). Good technological advice is tailor-made. Too often, a generic solution, is presented as the solution for your business. Alcon Advies provides customized solutions, not only taking into account your specific situation of today, but also the future of your company and the sector in which you are active. Of course your own development course is very important, but also developments in technology, societal changes and future laws and regulations will have a huge impact on your future business.

Continuous product development and product innovation are essential for the survival of a company.Along with the demands of end-users in the area of sustainability, safety and comfort are essential aspects in a successful PPE-development. In other products the reduction of weight, the integration of sensors and actuators, or the recyclability of a product might be key issues in a successful innovation.

In most companies the daily business has the highest attention. Often innovations projects are in second place, resulting in a too long time to market. An external project manager can help you to execute projects within the planned time and budget. In addition, an external project manager can give you a second opinion when it comes to review the solutions and/or contribute to alternatives which will generate a higher profit.

Innovations contribute on the long term to the profit of a company. In many companies product portfolios change more than 50% in a five years period. However, to realise innovations you always have to invest. In many companies there are investment plans for machinery and equipment, but not for innovation. Innovation can be planned and there are many funding opportunities (regional, national and international) where you can get financial support for innovation. Alcon Advies can help you to apply for these grants and can do a large part of the paperwork for you. Because of the extensive network, Alcon Advies can help you to find the right partners to assist you in the innovation of your processes or products.
