"... an immense technical, business, and social tsunami is coming along shortly ... companies are already being forced to deal with a blinding rate of technological change. This speed-up will likely increase, and definitely spread." (our emphasis)
Leaping the Abyss: Putting Group Genius to Work Gayle Pergamit and Christine Peterson.
"In not too many decades we should have a manufacturing technology able to: Build products with almost every atom in the right place; Do so inexpensively; Make most arrangements of atoms consistent with physical law. Often called nanotechnology, molecular nanotechnology or molecular manufacturing, it will let us make most products lighter, stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner and more precise."
Nanotechnology: It's a Small, Small, Small, Small World Ralph C. Merkle
Who we are: Our consulting team includes top nanotech research scientists, product development specialists, nano-scale manufacturers, tech-focused venture capitalists, business development strategists, management experts, and government liaisons.
Disruptive Technology: An emerging need among many established businesses is an understanding of how disruptive innovations occurring at the nano-scale will create both crisis and opportunities for their future survival and success. We'll work with your in-house strategic planners to mine the data, study the acceleration trends, and chart out a strategy to take advantage of rather than be overrun by any relevant nano-innovations affecting your industry.

The industries that nanotechnology will likely have a disruptive effect on in the near term include the following: (Amounts are Billions of US Dollars)
· $1,700 Healthcare · $600 Long Term Care · $550 Electronics · $550 Telecom · $480 Packaging · $450 US Chemical · $460 Plastics · $182 Apparel · $180 Pharmaceutical · $165 Tobacco |
· $100 Semiconductor · $92 Hospitality / Restaurant · $90 US Insurance · $80 Corrosion Removal · $83 Printing · $57 US Steel · $43 Newspaper · $42 Diet Supplement · $40 Diet · $32 Publishing |
· $30 Catalysts · $27 Glass · $24 Advertising · $18 Cosmetics · $13 Chocolate · $10 Battery · $5 Blue Jeans · $4 Khakis · $2.8 Fluorescent Tagging · $.70 Mouthwash |
Disruptive Technology: Technology that is significantly cheaper than current, and/or is much higher performing, and/or has greater functionality, and/or is more convenient to use. Will revolutionize worldwide markets by superseding existing technologies. "Paradigm shifting" is a well-worn connotation. Although the term may sound negative, it is in fact neutral. It is only potentially negative to organizations that are unprepared for change, and fail to adapt, only to fall behind, and ultimately disappear. The results are not just evolutionary, they are revolutionary.
