Dr. David Lapham was a university lecturer / researcher before he moved into industry and has many patents to his name. His time in industry has been marked by many successes across many areas from nano technology to natural product formulations and includes expertise in chemistry, physics, polymer science, metallurgy, production engineering and advanced materials.I am all about sharing knowledge in a way that helps clients create new products, new jobs and sustainable growth within an ethical frame work. For me this is a personal mission. Having worked in manufacturing all my life, I see clients having good ideas but without the time or personal awareness to bring the product / idea to fruition. David Lapham wants to reverse that trend by utilising his extensive experience through a "well formed outcome process" for clients developing and evaluating new ideas for the market place. It is likely that a company will have an outline concept that they would like to progress if funding (internal or external) was available. To take these concepts forward they need to ensure that they have been fully defined into projects that meet the criteria and be attractive to the funding "authority". The process for developing, submitting and implementing projects can be envisaged as follows: 1) Project Concept: Risk and Opportunity Management including Regulatory2) Consortium Building3)Outline Proposal Preparation4) Budget Preparation5) Final Proposal Preparation6) Proposal Submission7) Proposal Evaluation and contract negotiation with funding authority8) Management of key deadlines for client The above I believe fits with your company profile. My plan would be to offer my skills in the above areas to your needs to develop new accounts by identifying funding for the development of new client driven technical projects and subsequent technical management; particularly but not limited to Horizon 2020, and Innovate UK funding streams. David Lapham is an influential communicator and connector who is experienced in distilling technical and commercial information from a diverse range of sources into innovative concepts, market insights and business processes; and can find credible sources of verified and peer reviewed data to support your current scientific or business projects. Known as “The Oracle” to those that have worked with him!When under pressure to deliver companies tend to combine two or more sets of data to generate plausibility; This subsequently directs research in completely the wrong direction A “disruptive brutal disconnect” is needed!

First point of contact for all regulatory submissions.David Lapham is an influential communicator and connector who is experienced in distilling technical and commercial information from a diverse range of sources into innovative concepts, market insights and business processes; and can find credible sources of verified and peer reviewed data to support your current scientific or business projects. Known as “The Oracle” to those that have worked with him!Also described by colleagues as a “sharp strategic thinker, a self-starter and relationship builder” who is likeable, credible and engaging with a “can do, will do” attitude to life. Someone who has a strong values orientation, is excellent with people and who is capable of getting under the bonnet to understand businesses and their potential.When under pressure to deliver companies tend to combine two or more sets of data to generate plausibility which when looped with a hypothetical construct gives you the result you are looking for! This subsequently directs research in completely the wrong direction, through joining data in a way more than expected randomly.A “disruptive brutal disconnect” is the only way forward at this point; David Lapham is particularly good at identifying and moving businesses through this phase. -
Senior Advisor (Interim Role)Gh Associates Jan 2015 - Jun 2015DerbyshireAs grant funding specialists GHA provide a wide range of services to assist clients in accessing grant funding for innovative projects. My role as a specialist was to work with the client throughout the entire funding process providing practical support and guidance by bringing extensive experience to the development of the client funding proposal. The range of funding can viewed on the European Cordis website; the portal for all European Funding. It is likely that a company will have an outline concept that they would like to progress if funding was available. To take these concepts forward they need to ensure that they have been fully defined into projects that will meet the criteria and be attractive to the funding authority. The process for developing, submitting and implementing projects can be envisaged as follows: 1) Project Concept: Risk and Opportunity Management including Regulatory2) Consortium Building3)Outline Proposal Preparation4) Budget Preparation5) Final Proposal Preparation6) Proposal Submission7) Proposal Evaluation and contract negotiation with funding authority8) Management of key deadlines for client to ensure continued funding of project I am sure that most clients loose the will to live if they have to work through the above themselves.” In fitting with your company profile and to answer your question my plan would be to offer my skills in the above areas to your business need for funding particularly but not limited to Horizon 2020 and to demystify the organizations and complex institutions that are the EU funding programmes and engage with and encourage you the client to participate and influence EU policy”;particularly in the light of "Brexit"

New Business Innovations Consultant: (Interim Position)Pera Technology Sep 2013 - Jan 2015Melton MowbrayIf you have an existing process that is not delivering the required output or quality or if you need to drive down the cost or reduce your environmental impact then PERA Technology can help you by de-risking the innovation process. New Product development is expensive; PERA Technology’s public funding route through a variety of instruments (Horizon 2020, TSB/ Smart etc.) means that the client can pay as little as 5% of the total project costs. Unlike when raising funds through banks, venture capitalists and angel financiers taking the PERA Technology funding route means that the client retains complete control of the developed innovation without having to share equity or having to dilute IP .My role within PERA was to roll out this product to SME’s country wide but focusing particularly on the South through personal visits and developing associate net works. Coordinated and reported using a bespoke Microsoft CRM system. -
