Introducing new products does not have to be limited to large organisations. Our digital world has nurtured a generation of App developers and "makers" operating on minimum overheads in a culture of innovation, applying technology which is disrupting markets and creating opportunities. Whilst small, agile companies are best placed to take advantage of these opportunities, it is important to manage the commercial and regulatory risks of putting products on the market which the "maker community" often overlook.
We can help senior leaders to research and validate concepts, ideas or strategies as well as advise project teams on implementation details. We can also assist with the project management and implementation of entire programmes or individual aspects where you find yourself with expertise or resource gaps. From specification through to final testing and production we have the capability, contacts and commitment to get things done.
Our involvement can be as little as advice on a single aspect or research into a novel concept. The following list illustrates some of the product-to-market activities where we can help but feel free to call for a discussion, especially if you think that your needs are particularly unique or challenging.
