Front-End Process
for Strategy Formulation
We identify
market opportunities, key customer needs, and link technical
capabilities to customer requirements to create an integrated market,
product line and technology strategic plan for implementation.
Identify Market Opportunities
During our
Market
Drivers process, we segment the market and identify
competitive factors by interviewing industry experts, customers, and
stakeholders and studying secondary sources to define the key market
drivers and opportunity areas for innovation.
Discover Customer Needs
Our
Vocal
Insights®
process discovers the key customer needs and creating a foundation for
strategic decision making. Opportunity areas are identified and
customer needs translated into requirements for differentiation and
market success.
Link Capabilities and
Opportunities
We map your capabilities and link them to customer
requirements. This process allows us to identify gaps where
customer requirements are not supported by current capabilities.
Our
Tech Explorer
helps identify new technology and capabilities that can satisfy the
unsupported customer needs.
Creating the Innovation Strategy
We work with you to create an integrated plan for
product and technology development and product line plans. This begins
during our
Innovare Greenhouse
workshops where we co-create
a portfolio of strategic and tactical level new product and technology concepts. These become
our building blocks to develop the innovation strategy.
The concepts are refined and
placed within a strategic portfolio framework considering value
creation, strategic intent, level of innovation and market impact.
Product and technology development and product line plans are
envisioned.
The final
outcome is a clearly articulated innovation strategy that aligns the
organization and prepare for system wide innovation implementation.
Our three-phased
TriCept front end of innovation process fills your innovation pipeline with a portfolio of
high value-opportunities.
