Today, more than ever, an organization must capitalize on changing technology to increase profitability, expand market opportunity, and improve customer service. Technolytics offers a suite of informational products and services that give today's executives the specific direction necessary to gain competitive advantage. Technolytics is a privately held think-tank that addresses the needs of business executives worldwide. We investigate technologies that will mature within a 2-3 year time period, assess their impact on business outcomes, develop business strategies that take advantage of the technological changes, and defend against disruptive technologies. We focus on five main disciplines including: Information Technology, Communications Technology, Business Technology, Biotechnology, and Nanotechnology. With strong ties to Silicon Valley, venture capital firms, and advanced research and development centers, Technolytics assists clients in addressing the complex, technology-intensive business issues of the 21st century.

Our technology framework methodology is based upon 1997 Malcolm Baldrige strategic planning and reporting guidelines. We believe these guidelines (as implemented in the Technolytics models and tools) represent some of the best strategy and management models available anywhere in the world. The knowledge repository, benchmark data, and best practices used to create these Technolytics models have evolved from detailed research and analysis and are updated regularly to reflect changes in the global market.

Our Vision: Core business strategies designed for the industrial economy must change to accommodate the demands of today's highly competitive business environment. Organizations must adapt and modify their core business thinking in order to remain competitive in this new environment. Today most businesses are reactive to enabling and disruptive technological advancement. Organizations that will be the leaders of tomorrow's business world will instead continuously innovate. Continuous innovation requires insight and foresight into the technological advances that will challenge existing business models and product lines and create new opportunities.

To summarize, we fill the knowledge gap that exists between the scientists, doctors, engineers, technical professionals and the organizations executives. Today more than ever before, executive are becoming increasingly more uncomfortable with their ability to keep up with the latest scientific and technological advances. The executive’s ability to understand and put into context highly complex technical concepts must be enhanced to improve decision making. We bridge the gap and translate highly complex technical concepts into information that is extremely valuable for executives and management. Technolytics works with our clients’ staff in the planning and oversight of technology related projects, programs and policy decisions. We advise and are involved in virtually every aspect of the analysis, evaluation, and strategy setting process. The Science and Technology center of Technolytics was created to provide a unique insight into the executive decision making process on issues relating to science and technology advances. Technology can enable a business or disrupt a business. The deciding factor is if you proactively anticipate the pending changes brought about by an emerging technology or merely react to the change after the impact has been realized. As our name suggests, our organization combines technology and analytics in a unique manor. We have a dynamic culture of innovation and thought leadership in the technology sector. Technolytics covers emerging technologies that stand to have the most profound business impact to a broad segment of industries. Technolytics pioneered the Strategic Technology Planning Framework, a tool to identify the impact of emerging technologies along the eight domains of change. Our unique set of tools and methods allow us to assess the impact of each technology alone and combined.

There are a lot of technologies out there that are going to have a big impact on business, government, and society. And it's going to touch each organization in many different ways. There is no question that BioTech will have one of the most significant impacts in the next decade. The BioTech impact will reach far beyond the healthcare and pharmaceuticals industry and into areas obscure to common thought. It is these obscure areas that many times hold the greatest opportunity and disruptive power. Most organizations have not yet begun to strategically think about doing business in the biotech era nor have they begun to realize the potential impact and opportunities associated with biotech. Technolytics continuously examines areas in which bio technologies are changing the way we operate. The implications are profound.



Business, government, industry and society run on information. Information technology is also the foundation for scientific research. Turn off computers and the industrialized world would come to a screeching halt. We have experienced several evolutionary steps in information technology. Each step has impacted business, government, and industry in ways not anticipated or expected. Likewise, the impact on society in general was unforeseen. However, no one would dispute the opportunities created by this technology nor the associated wealth and power. We are yet on the verge of another substantive breakthrough in information technology and like its recent history, it too will create opportunities and threats for all of us. A key component supporting information technology is the area of communications. Communications technology is considered a supporting technology. It supports a wide range of industries and other technologies. That is why a change in the area of communications technology is magnified and impacts a vast number of industries. The communications revolution is underway and had most recently been fueled by the Internet. Wireless communications is the current evolutionary step in the communications revolution and that will be rapidly followed by widespread use of broadband (both connected and wireless). The secure, economic, and efficient distribution of information, no matter what form it may take, is critical to any organization. As other areas of technology evolve, such as semiconductors, they will provide increased communications capabilities. Organizations must prepare for the new communications capabilities and the coming of the global communications grid.



NanoTechnology is an obscure science to many and one that only recently began to gain the attention of the press. NanoTechnology allows the development and construction of materials one atom at a time. It is often referred to as molecular engineering and associated with advanced materials engineering. It is difficult to imagine an industry that will not be impacted as this advanced research becomes commercialized in the next several years. The economic and political implications of winning or losing the battle to be number one in this technology could cause a shift in global power. Organizations are beginning to not just window shop this technology but invest and acquire capabilities in support of their strategic direction. The combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology will evolve into the next major revolution - "The Materials Age."



Science and technology advancement continues to accelerate. The social, economic and political impact of these advancements will create a global shift in power. Anticipating these advances and shifts in power is what transforms threats into opportunities. Executives in business, government and industry must become knowledgeable enough about the near term breakthroughs in order to properly position themselves and their organizations. Failure to do so will have significant implications. A flywheel effect has been created. As computing technology advances, more and more scientific breakthroughs result and new technology will be created. As new technology is created, advances in computing will more rapidly evolve. This flywheel effect will exponentially increase the rate of technological change.
