Lead

Technology alone will not transform agriculture. It is people with passion who drive change. Today’s leadership teams are different from the teams of the past. They’re far more diverse, digital, and dynamic and often virtual. But while teams face new hurdles, their success still hinges on a core set of fundamentals. At AgKnowledge, we believe in people and empower them. We enjoy bringing diverse and committed talents together to develop and adopt AgTech.

Here are just a few areas we can help with:

Leading (public-private) partnerships

Innovation is as much about finding partners as building new products and services. Studies show that the number of partnerships have increased substantially over the last couple years and that those can account for nearly a third of corporate revenue and value. Yet the failure rate for partnerships hovers around 70 percent, despite abundance of advice on how to make it work. Successful partnerships manage the relationship, not just the deal. As independent consultant, we can help you to identify partners and bring them around the table to jointly develop the right strategic collaboration. We can provide tools to help manage and coordinate the collaboration and if needed, serve as (interim) director.

Digital transformation

If your organization is going through a digital transformation, AgKnowledge can help your teams to drive operational efficiencies, apply new tools and improve data-based-decision making. Digital transformation involves much more than adopting additional technology — it is a deeply rooted managerial challenge.

Building effective teams

To succeed, companies not only need to attract and retain technical talents; they must integrate those people into core business culture and processes. We can help you to build effective multidisciplinary teams around specific projects or challenges and can coach leaders in your organization to improve internal collaboration and integration.
