Many people assume that research happens only if you wear a white lab coat. But innovation is happening in business across every sector, every day. You could be doing it without even realising. The problem that you tinkered with in a new way or that hurdle you overcame for a client could be just the ticket. The government wants to encourage clever problem solving that grows the economy. So it makes research and development money available through the tax system. I help businesses to access this AusIndustry money.By asking curious questions (mostly, ‘yeah, but why?’) I learn about you and your business. This helps to identify the innovation and value of what you’ve done or created. I’ve always been the person whose brain ticks away to connects the dots. Yes, even as we’re having a conversation. I grasp the big picture and can see the strategic pathway that’s been hidden from view. I utilise this to help business owners generate the opportunities that drive their business growth. Through former roles in law, grants and business development I’ve been exposed to a range of sectors and scales of business. My work has always helped people to look and plan ahead. I’m undoubtedly a people person. But my background means that I’m fully conversant in technical speak. So I can support your business to navigate systems, processes and contracts, and clearly articulate what’s what. It gives me a buzz to collaborate and get things moving for clients. Get in touch if you want to leverage what you do and continue to do it with more money in the bank and the breathing space to grow.
