B Spot is a boutique consultancy that has been created with the sole purpose of helping its clients turn great technology ideas into great business opportunities. There is a myriad of reasons why companies fail to capitalize on important technology innovations, why investments into technology investments become wasteful and why the benefit of hindsight is all too often the first wake-up call. In our experience, these situations happen because at least one of these fundamental ingredients is typically missing: Vision Analytical Candour Passion Our work is about creating, sharpening or balancing the mix of these ingredients, based on a client´s specific context and objectives. The ideas can be Big and Bold but also Common and Simple – we design business concepts no matter the complexity of the idea or the size of the ambition. We work with all organisations, small and large, from any industry and any country. We make only one exception: we will not support any ideas which will purposely harm people, animals or the environment.]]>

Healthcare is the world’s biggest industry, both in revenue and spending. It is also sweet spot for technology companies. B Spot presentation analyses opportunities, challenges and risks for companies entering or expanding the the healthcare sector. Among market sizing, dynamics, key trends, forecast B Spot analysis presents key findings: - Introducing technology advances in healthcare is about helping individuals, companies and governments with two most important pain points: costs savings and delivering faster results to fight sicknesses. - It is important to be highly collaborative, especially with healthcare authorities and law makers. No matter how great and desired by customers could be your product, if they are not happy – they will kill it. - Healthcare is an emotional and complex industry, very different to any other sector. While there are still products and services to be sold and companies needing to make profits, healthcare is about people´s lives and wellbeing so there will be constant pressure and criticism. - Learn how to grow your business from the best: pharmaceuticals. They have developed one of the best processes of sales, marketing and survival while remaining constantly profitable even during crisis.]]>

Despite the many advances in technology, one of the most important parts of our lives – healthcare – continues to be a cautious and slow adopter. This is not because of the shortage of relevant technologies (quite the contrary, a lot of innovation geared at this space has taken place); rather, it is due to the healthcare industry itself, which is difficult to work with due to its complicated legislation, resistance from healthcare institutions and professionals and the tight funding conditions that most public healthcare institutions are subject to. It is also the case that outside the large-scale and traditional IT environment, the healthcare industry lacks a strong collaboration model with the world of technology innovation. Investing in healthcare needs to take a long-term perspective and requires great knowledge of the inherent challenges that will be faced. The high tech industry, on the other hand, has little patience. Tech companies, including those that are excited by recent big data opportunities should be warned: it takes a battle to get your teeth into the healthcare sweet spot. ]]>

We all get very excited about new versions of Apple products. We love speculating what is going to be the new Apple product. Is it going to be the iWatch? Maybe it will be virtual keyboards or invisible headphones. All of these gadgets are things which we enjoy and embrace because of their design and high performance. But I don´t think this is Apple´s Next Big Thing. I think Apple´s longer term game is The Ultimate iMe Smart Device which will be something not just everybody will want; they will also need it.]]>
