Many of your organisation's most valuable assets, including staff expertise
and software developments, could be lying undisturbed within databases, archives
and memories.
Over the years, the public sector has paid for the development of a wide range
of Intellectual Property, including data, software inventions, patents,
trademarks, staff expertise, processes and other types of knowledge.
When it comes to exploiting these assets, recent shifts in policy and
regulation have created a climate for change. Public sector organisations are
now required to demonstrate that they are maximising efficiencies and commercial
opportunities for all their assets on an ongoing basis (see Operational
Efficiency Programme, Final Report April 2009).
A new white paper from AMTEC Consulting aims to help organisations to
understand and comply with this new landscape and unlock value from the assets
they own. "Intangible assets: Are you doing enough to unlock the value
of your organisation's intellectual property?" explores the challenges
and potential outcomes facing those charged with driving efficiencies in this
area.
