About us
Keeping your company young
Applied creativity in action.
We are Competitive Intelligence (CI) experts but we will not talk about our "great" software and servers: we will talk pragmatically about CI value to business.
Today it is not merely enough to plan ahead: at todays "full speed" markets you fundamentally need know whats "around the curve"!
Our CI interprets and puts into relationship weak signals from research, business, market and regulatory environments so that enterprise decision makers can anticipate change : ready to be exactly on time with new products and services.
We brainstorm with executives to understand what TYPE of information should be gathered. This executive level CI assistance also provides a doctors like "second opinion": it is a pure secondary source of information that internal departments can add to their databases, completing their analysis and verification check-up efforts before embarking on important and costly strategic endeavors.
LOLLIPOP is currently involved in in WEB 2.0/3.0, Semiconductor, Life Sciences, and Renewable Energy CI gathering (see a sample of our CI research areas in

Our philosophy
We can learn a lot from how nature nourishes growth in a non stressful and highly efficient manner.
CREATIVITY! This is the final frontier for generating sustainable enterprise success.

Enterprise creativity however is different from play creativity. If it is not organized/guided properly during innovation efforts it will waste precious time and resources; but how do you guide creativity, a seeming dichotomy?
The sand box analogy is very useful: while the type of box and sand (structure and resources) provides the means, the Tools (Shovel and Bucket) will help determine what is created/invented (ex: the new widget).
While the enterprise supplies the structure and resources, LOLLIPOP can help it supply the necessary Tools to the innovation team: the Competitive Intelligence (CI) information that will aid the new project to achieve its objectives (see our
Monday Morning CI
service link).
With the supply of this type of targeted information, people within an organization can know whats going on globally thus creating/inventing around a potential high-value need instead of a low-value copy/innovation.
Somebody said " out-think your competition, instead of out-spending them " : by combining our Competitive Intelligence to internal Creativity Innovation efforts, an enterprise can be helped to achieve its innovation improvement objectives within its budgetary windows.

Competitive Intelligence
"It is pardonable to be defeated, but never to be surprised."
Frederick the Great
Our primary competency is Competitive Intelligence !
Today's business environments have become HYPER-COMPETITIVE; the velocity of change is astonishing.
DAVOS 2012 has shown that the general global pace of Opportunity Recognition needs to happen quarterly instead of yearly, because by the time an enterprise has the information its needs for an annual review, a competitor has already moved in.
Does your organization have the proper type of Competitive Intelligence to help give you a strategic view of competitors, business trends and market conditions?
We can put the most relevant Competitive Intelligence information at your fingertips with our
Monday Morning Reports
service.

OUR MOST POPULAR RESEARCH SUBJECTS
Enterprise 2.0 Cultivation
Supercharge your enterprise!
You already know that the strategic management model called Enterprise 1.0 is dead!
However since Enterprise 2.0 is a more socially interactive organization, it is more difficult to control operations and business processes.
In any case, today it is fundamentally important that enterprises "ignite" the Learning Organization within, to improve profits and gain sustainable market advantage. Enterprise 2.0 combined with systematic information feeds can help your organization identify new opportunities and react quicker and with more synergy to market changes.
Our Competitive Intelligence service can furnish critical information down and across all departments in a targeted manner, helping to guide the Learning Process while at the same time improving important interdepartmental dialog.
Enterprise 2.0 is the new way to create sustainable growth and advantage - let us discuss how it can be implemented.
Opportunity Studies
"What is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Opportunity Studies, also called Opportunity Recognition (OR) is top managements critical starting point for the investment decision making process.
If the OR study is not precisely performed grave mistakes can happen: " invest when we shouldnt, or not invested when we should have ".
From a C-Suite perspective, what is the difference between a good idea and a good opportunity?
The secrets!
The identification of " the secrets " are very important for good OR! This critical factor alone can give an entirely different meaning to the data that was gathered for analysis.
If you wish to understand how LOLLIPOP can help decide if a strategic investment opportunity is a good one, we would be happy to illustrate our approach.

"I would rather be surrounded by smart people than have a huge budget. Smart people will get you there faster."
A McKinsey associate
Due to LOLLIPOP's extensive network of expert consultants and know-how in several key technology sectors, amongst other endeavors we are currently incubating the following projects:
Online Marketing Sector - Integrated Participative Marketing™ (IPM™) Project Renewable Energy Projects – Solar Concentration Atmospheric Pressure Plasma utilization Marine sector – Innovative propulsion systems Integrated Participative Marketing
Keeping your company young
Integrated Participative Marketing™ (IPM™)
Online Direct Marketing is a worldwide +40 billion dollar market and growing at double digits.
LOLLIPOP has received a mandate to strategically configure the business model, business plans and source seed capital, for the completion and launch of a new software platform that will permit the implementation of next generation, online marketing called - Integrated Participative Marketing™ (IPM™).
Three important factors make this next generation direct marketing model eminently practicable:
1. The worldwide economic shakedown is changing radically consumer buying behaviour and habits,
2. The average age of the 1.6 billion people that use internet, are now over the 25 year age bracket,
3. The new Web 2.0 collaboration paradigm has also matured and there is an increasing trend towards the
development and formation of economic relationships, rather than purely inter-social communications.
The German platform technology start-up enables seamless rich cross media marketing generation and management. First level beta testing has passed successfully, proof of concept stage.
VC capital funds who are interested to evaluate seed funding investment, to finalize the software code and launch the Marketing and Sales phase, are welcome to contact
Mr Kosta Kipsch.
Solar Concentration
Keeping your company young
Renewable Energy: Solar Concentration
Among the many types of technologies, the two general areas of LOLLIPOP research are Concentrating Solar Thermal (CSP) and Concentrating Photovoltaic Power (CPV).
A LOLLIPOP engineering network associate has studied new concept design for CSP and CPV systems. A primary innovation is an alternative to expensive parabolic concentrating systems that could revolutionize and save a major part of the total system cost .
Atmospheric Pressure Plasma utilization
Keeping your company young
Atmospheric Pressure Plasma utilization
AP plasmas are a "next generation" surface treatment and coating study area. They will permit enormous advantageous for material processing, amongst the most advantageous will be cost cutting .
LOLLIPOP and associates have combined the most advanced North American and European technologies along with reactive plasma chemistry to provide 3D large area treatment and surface coatings. This could be of interest to corporations that are in surface coating industries, to spin-off treatment services for automotive and aerospace industries .
Innovative propulsion systems
Keeping your company young
Marine sector: Innovative propulsion systems
Propulsion systems that are based on electric and turbo-jet technologies will be the next area of development for marine propulsion units. While for large plants, 500Kw and above, there is starting to be industrial offerings of a sustained sort, 500Kw and less is an area that is underdeveloped.
A LOLLIPOP partner project has designed jetflow eco-drive system, and by using connections to major fuel cell
(ie: hydrogen fuel) manufacturers along with plans for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, it will to provide an innovative and highly ecological (environmental friendly) pathway for small to medium size water craft propulsion systems.
