Investigation
We kick off the process by identifying what project elements are at risk or already causing problems, through investigative interviews and meetings. Beyond analyzing for the typical constraints, risks, and gaps, we will use our decades of new product development process expertise to find the root problems that are often under the surface. This investigative assessment informs clients of the real challenges and issues and offers experienced resolutions that will get project performance quickly moving toward success.
Solution Strategy
We will improve the execution of product development from a project management standpoint of finding and solving the gaps, identifying and avoiding the risks, removing the chaos, managing the stakeholder expectations, and coaching the team (all functions) on how to stay ahead of the critical progress elements while building bridges over the chasms. We will apply an 80/20 problem-solution approach that integrates with your process where possible or stands alone when necessary. If needed, we can also offer an effective scaled development process for your needs.
Execution Guidance
Using our cross-functional project leading expertise, we will coach and support your
team through the solutions as critical enhancements to your existing process while
offering hands-on guidance with your entire product development process.
Testing and Compliance Strategy
From initial concept prototypes to production representative reliability specimens, we will ensure your team has connected all the dots between product requirements and test needs with a comprehensive test and compliance plan review.
Launch Preparation
Manufacturing and Operations readiness is assessed with any remaining actions
identified. A robust go-to-market plan is critical. Our team will oversee that marketing
materials, retail partnerships, and distribution channels are locked in. We will also
confirm branding elements are consistent with the target audience and that supply
chains can handle forecasted demand.
