Summary

The Teys Australia Collaborative Innovation Strategies Partnership Program (Stage 4) aims further mature Teys’ approach to innovation and capability building within its organisation, and more broadly within its value chains, which serves its customers and Australian cattle producers. This will underpin Teys ten-year strategy which includes:
• an evolution not a revolution (innovative)
• integrating value chains ‘end to end’ to connect from producers right through to consumers (inclusive)
• further develop data capture and analysis systems to better understand and rapidly adapt to evolving market dynamics (agile)
• leverages our unique position as a ‘platform’ positioned between producer ecosystem and global channels to market (enabling).

Objectives

The Teys Australia Collaborative Innovation Strategies Partnership Program (Stage 4) aims to develop internal capabilities, which facilitate the achievement of strategic programs, where there are already projects in train or in the pipeline to be delivered focusing on:
- process efficiencies through automation, developing capability and systems
- data/information analytics, developing capability to understand all the inputs and support development of predictive analytics, AI and machine learning capabilities.

Benefits to industry

The aim of the Collaborative Innovation Strategies Program is to facilitate the development of broad innovation capabilities throughout the supply chain leading to an accelerated adoption of research and development (R&D) outcomes, a more strategic focus on innovation initiatives, and greater impact derived from investment in innovation by companies thereby increasing the profitability and sustainability of the Teys value chain, and partners.

MLA action
