Research Agility is Food Agility CRC's model for deliberate innovation . It can help supercharge your R&D, deliver ROI for investors and make a big impact for the agrifood industry.
Food Agility has borrowed from the methods behind the rapid expansion of the technology industry: agile, design-led and lean start-up. We’ve adapted the tools and processes to create a unique approach to research-industry collaboration that delivers an ROI for industry and great research with impact. Know what to expect if you are working with Food Agility CRC or access a suite of open source tools and use our model as a roadmap for your own R&D collaborations.
Agile doesn’t necessarily mean ‘fast’. It’s a way or organising priorities to regularly deliver value to end-users, working in short ‘sprints’ to deliver outcomes, testing often and changing course (pivoting) if necessary.
Empathy is at the heart of design-led methods. It means putting the end-user at the centre of the project and continuously refining to deliver what they need.
Companies getting off the ground don’t usually have a lot of capital, so they start with a simpler prototype that they keep testing and building. Putting these prototypes in the hands of end-users creates a valuable feedback loop that reduces the risks of solving complex problems.
