…after all, it is an irrefutable – irreversible economic fact today, and for the foreseeable future, that 80+% of most business’s value, sources of revenue, competitiveness, and sustainability lie in – emerge directly from intangible (non-physical) assets, composed primarily of various forms of intellectual, structural, and relationship capital…

kpstrat exceeds conventional (intangible asset) training by

• employing a holistic approach, not merely one-size-fits-all, checklists, templates, or reliance on past practices.

kpstrat’s training contributes to building an

intangible asset alert – intelligent business operating culture to distinguish, assess, and act on any measurable fluctuations in key asset’s contributory role to (business) value, competitiveness, revenue generation, sustainability, and reputation, etc.

Particularly distinctive and useful components to kpstrat’s training curriculum emerge from

• demonstrating strategies for measuring-assessing intangible assets ‘contributory role and value’ to a project, brand, transaction, etc.
• providing practical foundations for aligning organizational resilience, aka continuity -contingency planning.demonstrating strategies for measuring-assessing intangible assets ‘contributory role and value’.

kpstrat’s training recognizes that the life, value, functionality, and materiality cycles

of particular-intangible assets fluctuate when certain risks materialize, cascade, and adversely affect…

• business – personnel reputation.
• product-service functionality.
• projected innovation.
• new product-service launches.

kpstrat’s training recognizes that conventional intellectual properties…i.e., patents particularly (standing alone)

. do not provide transaction predictability, nor serve as deterrents or safe harbors to globally predatorial infringement and/or misappropriation operations.

The proactive context and strategies embedded throughout kpstrat’s intangible asset training curriculum…

collectively form a distinctive and practical model, with immediate relevance, to entrepreneurial -early stage companies, university-based startups, maturing companies, and university-private sector R&D consortiums, etc.,

• with special attention to safeguarding and mitigating risk, i.e., vulnerability, probability, and criticality, to company’s intangibles.

kpstrat’s intangible asset training curriculum is relevant to

management teams, boards, stakeholders, and a range of business leaders and professional service firms, irrespective of industry sector, products, services, annual sales, size, or location.

kpstrat’s unique and immediately relevant curriculum I have developed emerges from

• 25+ years of professional consulting, university teaching, a strong and consistent research regimen.
  • publishing 650+ blog (often long form) posts, books, and professional-position papers, and interacting with colleagues globally on all things intangible.
  • consulting engagements, media appearances, and research which have largely focused on…

• identifying, assessing, safeguarding, and mitigating risk to intangibles.
• being one of the first to conduct comprehensive (intangible asset) pre-post transaction due diligence, and
• facilitating development of business transaction cultures to achieve operational familiarity with intangible assets’ contributory roles and value.

The priorities of my work, research, writing, and this curriculum, are coordinated to

enhance asset values, competitive advantages, and mitigate risks, which, should the latter materialize, will, with substantially greater probability, be a precursor to…

• undermining – eroding the contributory role and value of intangibles, and cascade throughout a business and its value – supply chain, to adversely affect other intangibles, i.e., reputation, brand, image, and goodwill.

My priorities for this curriculum are not solely about identifying and mitigating risk…

in addition, the curriculum demonstrates strategies for conducting timely – relevant asset (intangible asset) assessments and pre-post transaction due diligence, etc., to ensure asset stability, sustainability, value, revenue generation, and competitive advantages remain intact, because…

• today, lucrative – competitive business operations, projects, and transactions are increasingly – almost wholly reliant-dependent on management team’s
• ability to effectively and consistently harness, develop-nurture, convert, and exploit intangible assets into forms of value, sources of revenue, competitive advantage, and market position.

kpstrat’s curriculum remains true to the ‘business operating reality’ that intellectual, structural, and relationship capital, i.e., intangible assets

can routinely – consistently deliver economic and competitive advantages, but, only if and when the holder of those assets…

• sustain the necessary control, use, ownership, as well as
• monitor any fluctuations in the assets’ value and materiality,
• throughout their respective life – functionality cycles’.
