About Doyletech Corporation

Making Technology Happen

Since its incorporation in 1982, Doyletech Corporation has specialized in advising clients on how to convert technology into wealth. Those clients have included governments at all three levels, research institutions, entrepreneurs, and corporations.

The company’s chairman, Dr. Denzil Doyle, believes that the key to the success of such assignments is close collaboration with the scientific and technical personnel who are responsible for developing the technology. In the mid eighties, while on a commercialization assignment with the NRC, he developed a tool called a Business Opportunity Document (BOD) to facilitate such collaboration. It is a highly abbreviated New Venture Business Plan that describes the technology, the potential products, and the markets they will address. Both of these documents are described in a textbook he has authored entitled Making Technology Happen. BODs are now used by many federal laboratories and university technology transfer offices across Canada.

Doyletech was one of the first technology-based strategic management consultants in Canada. Our partners literally coined many of today's common commercialization terms such as the 'technology engine'. Today, we remain an independent strategic management consultancy to industry and government. Since 1999, our service offerings have broaden significantly as well as our geographic coverage. We are now 'trusted advisors' to public and private sector clients in the United States and the Caribbean, where we are particularly active in ICT strategic planning and a wide-range of economic development projects and programs.

Our values: Respect - for our employees, customers, and our ourselves; Excellence - in our research, our planning, and our execution; Flexibility - we will adapt, accept, and encourage change; Impact - we will make the most important thing most important; and Profit - we must add value to all we do.
