About Innovation Advisors
The RTI team has been providing objective innovation advisory services to clients for over 40 years. During that time, we have assembled an experienced team and an expansive network; developed proven, proactive processes; and built a solid reputation for quality work.
We have over 20 full-time professionals dedicated to supporting clients with their innovation activities, plus a network of consultants to augment our in-house capabilities. Our team members come from leading organizations such as Boeing, Caterpillar, Clear Channel Television, the Clorox Company, Dow, Duke University, General Dynamics, Institute of Emerging Issues, NASA, Nortel Networks, University of North Carolina, University of Tennessee, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and Westinghouse. We supplement this core team with individuals from among the many leading researchers specializing in a wide variety of technical areas at RTI.
RTI is unique because we combine two types of expertise not usually found in a single organization—seasoned senior scientists and engineers with a broad variety of technical specialties and industry experience, along with planners, policy analysts, and economists. We leverage this dynamic expertise and past experience to provide clients with insightful analysis; actionable, client-focused recommendations; and measurable results—all with an independent perspective. Some of those results include award-winning regional plans, hundreds of licenses and strategic alliances, and thousands of technologies and markets assessed.
The bottom line: Our experience in innovation advising is ready to go to work for you.
