Advanced Digital Institute (ADI), the recently launched organisation that will help companies identify and develop new high value products through the provision of specialist technical support and business advice in areas such as digital TV, wireless technology, consumer networking, RFID, creative industries, software development and other commercially important high technology growth areas, has recently appointed management consultants Breakthrough Leadership to support the development of its research and development infrastructure.
Initially focusing on Digital TV, Home-networking and related technologies, the company will work with ADI to create the first building blocks in ADI’s technology base. Once in place, the resources will then give development companies in the region a major boost, as it will provide them with an outside facility capable of developing new technology solutions, which they can in turn incorporate into their own products ahead of the competition.
Breakthrough Leadership, which offers specialist business development, management support services and coaching, was set up in Shipley by John Eagleshsam. John who until earlier this year ran Saltaire based, set top box manufacturer Pace Micro Technology’s global engineering organisation, heading up a team of 450 engineers in the UK, India, France and the US, has twenty years experience in electronics systems development and over ten years experience in digital TV. In recent years he was instrumental in leading the growth of Pace’s digital product development programme.
Ged Powell, CEO of ADI said, “We are extremely delighted to have secured the services of John Eaglesham and Breakthrough Leadership. John’s expertise and experience in Digital TV technologies will add great value in assisting us to develop our own internal resources, including setting up a Digital TV research and development infrastructure.”
Advanced Digital Institute is based at Cottingley Business Park, Bingley, and is supported by Yorkshire Forward, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Airedale Partnership and the European Union ERDF. www.adi-uk.com |
