Transition States provides a broad range of consulting services centering on the practice and management of innovation. A primary focus is business process and cultural innovations that enhance value capture via individual and collective productivity. Core activities include targeted product and process development; training and coaching in a variety of critical skills; and such vital ancillary aspects as technology transfer, IPR creation and exploitation and project management.

Transition States is a metaphor borrowed from physical chemistry. When raw materials are transformed into products, an activation barrier must be overcome. Transition states are the critical points: the most difficult to reach, and the least stable. Transition states are the branching options faced by an organization in changing circumstances. Like an abrupt divide in any pathway, transition states offer both challenge and opportunity. Balancing tradition and vision, transition states determine the shape of the future.

Transition States is part of an international network of specialist consulting groups in innovation and product development, training and organization development, market and consumer preference analysis, and selected technical fields. Focus on fundamental client and end-user criteria underlies our strong track record in product creation, brand enhancement, negotiation of major partnerships, and development of valuable new intellectual property.
