When Gary Briet, Director of Innovation Management at the University of Louisiana- Lafayette, headed up the University of Manitoba tech transfer office, he spearheaded the effort to double the school’s invention disclosures and was wildly successful. But that success wasn’t merely based on sheer volume — it came by way of an increased number of high-quality disclosures. After all, working dozens of invention files with little or no potential in the marketplace does nothing for your TTO except bog staff down with too much work and too little revenue to show for it. While you might double your disclosures, you might also double your inefficiency in terms of true commercialization. So Gary’s strategy focused on BOTH numbers and quality, and the outstanding results speak for themselves.
Now, he is leading the launch of the new Office of Innovation Management at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, where he’s applying the lessons learned and ramping up the outreach and disclosure efforts. On February 19, Gary will share his past experiences, successes, roadblocks and current plans for doubling the faculty disclosure rate with high-quality IP in this practical, strategy filled webinar: Get Aggressive and Double Your Faculty’s Invention Disclosure Rate. In this nuts-and-bolts case study you’ll hear dozens of tested and proven-effective strategies for improving faculty relations, conducting impactful outreach, and dramatically increasing the number of high-quality disclosures coming into your TTO.
