Locus Research is helping to inject life cycle thinking into the Hothouse programme. The Hothouse is an open innovation programme that was developed by Dr. Cris deGroot. This Tertiary Education Commission funded programme sets out to create a fluid interaction with industry and allow SME's to have the benefit of blue sky thinking without having to have an in house team.
In its second year of operation this programme is now moving to incorporate life cycle thinking, life cycle management and life cycle assessment into its broad framework.
