Packages

Some popular combinations of services:

Assessment & Action Coaching
This is the most effective way to begin. We evaluate the issues in your domain, review them with you and begin immediately to take action on the highest-priority items.
Assessment & Interim Management
We begin with an assessment and then take responsibility for managing the functions you designate as needing the most attention. Often this package is best when you are searching for a new manager and need competent and effective management coverage in the interim.
Intellectual Property Evaluation & Initial Patent Disclosures
We review technology and products in your organization, work with you to prioritize the potential impact on markets and competition, then write initial patent disclosures for patentable items to be pursued by your attorneys. Along the way, we help you to understand the depth of your technology bench and we may suggest areas for strengthening or broadening.
Process Review and Revision Action
When you know your processes can be improved, we perform an in-depth review of the existing paths and interactions, evaluate the alternatives, and provide the basis for evaluating changes. We may assist you in selecting software packages and web services that will increase your process throughput. We work with your staff to insure that buy-in is obtained.
Strategic Product and Technology Review
Taking into account the context of your business, product and technology, we develop strategic alternatives to be evaluated by you and your staff. We may recommend strategic partnerships and assist you in negotiating their terms. At all times we keep an eye on competitive threats and opportunities.
Organization Assessment and Leadership Coaching
When you are building an organization for long-term survival, you need to know what’s working, which players are crucial to your future success, and what skills they will need. We provide assessment of the people and skills in your organization, not just at the individual level, but also relative to the development processes you have in place. We also provide coaching for key people at all levels in the organization.
“More Products” package
You need dramatic increases in your development output. We help you manage the process of scaling up what is working well now, identifying the non-scalable processes and replacing them with suitable and effective methods. You do not typically need to double the staff in order to get double the throughput. Greater specialization is often the key to effective scaling.
“Save the Product” package
You have a development project that has not completed. Its success is critical to the organization. We do hands-on program management, helping you to make the hard trade-offs between cost, time and risk of failure.
