Change Hurts
In the face of new economic realities and shifting federal priorities, a major defense company risks losing a significant portion of its defense business.
Ideas Can Heal
To date, DSI has conducted three highly successful innovation venture programs to reinvent this company’s business. Each 12-week program inspires a wealth of practical and unexpected ideas to replace at-risk revenue sources.
For example, one team adapted military GPS technology to track and recover ocean-based mobile fish pens when they stray off course. The company has turned this idea into millions of dollars of annual revenue: technology for defense now helps feed people, too.
As a result of DSI’s innovation venture program, our client received accolade among Time’s Best Inventions of 2012, in honor of its Drifting Fish Farm technology. This Venture program success story shows the value of using an external lens to uncover innovation opportunities. DSI’s innovation strategies have truly inspired a new way of thinking that is transforming this defense company and helping it evolve with the marketplace.
