Program

1. Sunday - Add-on Courses

Description
This course is targeted to the advanced technology transfer practitioner from the leadership and communications perspective. Effective leadership communication creates competitive advantage for individuals, teams, and enterprises. There is a rigor to effective leadership communication, but too often that rigor is not well known or is ignored by leaders who believe that communication at work is equivalent to personal communication, at which most people are proficient.   This day-long practical workshop builds the capacity for leaders to influence outcomes and build competitive advantage – for themselves, their functions, and their organizations.

The success of your program depends upon how well you engage your audiences. What kinds of on-campus programs engage researchers and innovators, and how can we help them see themselves as inventors? What tools and methods can we put to work to engage external audiences, from potential licensees to community advocates, in our mission of impact? How can we use the toolbox at our disposal – from outreach to events to platforms to partners – to develop targeted, effective, measurable communications plans?

AUTM’s Technology Valuation Course teaches the fundamental principles of how to construct the various financial terms that go into a license. The course examines concepts such as valuation versus pricing and risk, as well as a series of valuation methodologies, including cost, income, industry standards (comparables), rules of thumb, discounted cash flow, and equity. The first segment concludes with a review of payment structures within a license and shows the financial flows under a typical academic-stage life sciences license. The course goes on to focus on practical applications including case studies. The class is divided into groups to develop license term proposals for the discussion of two technologies. If you have, or will have, responsibility for negotiating licenses, or would like to learn more about the process, the Licensing Valuation Course is ideal. Attendees should have a basic familiarity with the structure and payment mechanisms used in a license and be proficient in web searching and Excel spreadsheets.

This is an opportunity for you to develop a deeper understanding of licensing strategy as well as share your creative solutions with others.

4. Tuesday - Add-on Course

Description
Licensing professionals are subject to many internal and external pressures influencing their ability to negotiate effectively. This course examines sources of these influences and addresses ways to minimize their effect or use them to one’s advantage during negotiations. This course begins with attendees introspectively exploring their negotiation style and identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Organizational spheres of influence are examined to understand the goals and expectations of various stakeholders (senior leadership, supervisors, colleagues, inventors, and the local business community), to balance orthogonal stakeholder interests during a negotiation. The course concludes with an understanding of the impact of stress and emotion on negotiations, and how to manage difficult people and difficult situations.  This course is intended to empower those that negotiate regularly, regardless of experience level.
