intelliv8 provide technology brokering and strategic partnership advisory services to supply-side and buy-side clients. 

This means that we can be either engaged by large organisations to help them to explore their ecosystem and find solutions to their problems, or by small organisations, to help them find a "way in" to the big players. We often broker a deal or a strategic partnership between the two.

Leveraging our extensive professional experience and deep engagement across a diverse array of industries and technologies, we are exceptionally equipped to drive positive transformation for our clients.

We challenge and question to champion positive change, identifying innovative opportunities to drive real revenue growth, productivity gains, and cost savings, leading to rapid improvements in both top and bottom line performance. 

We leverage our proven frameworks, processes and tools to offer a range of business consulting services, including strategic planning, operations improvement, and market analysis, to help businesses enhance their performance and achieve their goals. 

Here are some recent examples of how we've helped create value for our clients:

•  Transforming IP Management: For the world’s largest diversified resources company, we worked collaboratively with their teams to fundamentally transform their approach to IP management, delivering higher value, lower risk at greater speed. Our support has been across the spectrum from “strategy” to “execution.
• Corporate Venturing Capability: intelliv8 set-up an innovation venturing capability for a major ASX50 corporate to accelerate ‘outside-in’ innovation and niche capability acquisition.
• Strategic Capabilities in Mining: intelliv8 sourced new strategic capabilities for a major diversified Australian resource conglomerate, based on identifying a >$1Bn NPV opportunity in iron ore maritime and logistics operations.
• First Revenue for Start-ups: intelliv8 helps smaller start-ups get to or build “first revenue”. For example, for a start-up focused on applying Machine Learning in the areas of taxation, we helped secure their first government contract, and then helped drive further revenue through scaling up their public sector engagement.
• Transition Start-up to Scale-up and Exit: intelliv8 works with innovative start-ups to enhance their capability maturity to commercialise new products and services, either scale and grow, or position themselves to be effectively acquired. 
• Portfolio Management for Corporates and Government: intelliv8 have helped large corporates and Government Trading Entities to implement innovative portfolio management capabilities to better target investment opportunities, and to then manage the realisation of those opportunities.
• Sustaining Capital for Charitable Organisations: To help safeguard the altruistic activities of a large registered charitable organisation in perpetuity, intelliv8 led development of a strategy for the generation of flow-through economic benefits from a stand-alone commercial group comprising approximately 30 independent businesses. intelliv8 remains actively involved in strategy execution, supporting the organisation to plan, start-up and operate new businesses, and to accelerate its objectives through successful M&A transactions. 

 intelliv8 has developed powerful and flexible frameworks and methods that can be readily adapted to suite each client’s unique circumstances. Here are four illustrative examples:

• Market & IP Insights. We have developed streamlined market and IP intelligence analysis processes, that deliver insights specifically relevant to innovation commercialisation, and can provide a quantitative evaluation of competitive advantage. Our clients find this invaluable for shaping their “go to market” strategy and tactical execution plans. It helps identify opportunities and threats, reduces wasted innovation efforts, and better target investment funds. 
• Portfolio Prioritisation. For large government institutions and corporations, we have we designed and applied a process and tooling that can pull-in market intel and evaluates projects based on a range of criteria including value and position in market, to inform portfolio prioritisation, trade-offs and investment decisioning. 
• Innovation Management Framework. Our comprehensive framework that defines a set of required tasks across the “end-to-end" phases of commercialisation to drive successful innovation outcomes. At each phase, we have a series of templates, tools, decisioning points, etc that provide simple, standardised, transparent, and effective ways to ensure the right outcomes are achieved, both at specific-project and at a “portfolio” of project levels.
• Partnering Terms of Reference. Since much of intelliv8’s work involves helping develop effective partnering arrangements between corporates, SMBs, and GTEs, we have developed a comprehensive framework to drive the partnering process, to ensure all elements of the partnering arrangement are considered, and to create the best outcomes for both (or all) parties involved.
