Abstract
This paper probably looks at engineering innovation from
a different perspective to the majority presented at this
conference. Here, we examine not the academic or engineering
advances themselves, but rather how the engineering industry
(and specifically consultancy companies) can best exploit
such advances to competitive advantage. The paper first
looks at the changing pressures on engineering consultancies,
and the responses required for commercial survival and then
looks at how technically advanced ideas have to be exploited
to competitive advantage to justify the large investment in
such work.
