Optimize New Product Development (NPD) to Achieve Outstanding Launch Results
OpLaunch helps startups and established companies optimally plan and execute new product opportunities. OpLaunch provides:
- Training for individual contributors: Enables individual contributors (including designers, developers, engineers, programmers, communications specialists, and domain specialists) to build on their discipline-specific knowledge to improve their team-level contributions. Improve team coherence and maximize the effectiveness of cross-functional collaboration.
- Training for strategists: Enables leaders to evaluate robust and resilient new product development (NPD) strategies [including legacy concepts and new contributions from Agile and Lean methodologies (reduce development waste and improve development workflow) and social computing capabilities] to improve the effectiveness of NPD. Recognize and minimize obstacles to on-time, successful commercialization in open environments with geographically disbursed teams.
OpLaunch can provide specialized expertise or additional development bandwidth by offering:
- Launch Architecture Services:
- Develop an informed, integrated, and adaptable vision of a desirable, new product (that incorporates product features, price, distribution, training, support, ...) from the buyer's and customer's perspective
- Evolve the development framework to guide the selection of strategies and resources
- Provide insights to mobilize the optimal, adaptive network to achieve launch success within the project constraints.
- Design Services: Create plans, models, and virtual prototypes to achieve product/market fit. Contribute to the evolution of the primary product and other major deliverables using concepts from disciplines such as interaction design and interface design, and user experience design.
- Development Services: Maximize synergy with specialists in disciplines such as product support, marketing communications, and public relations using launch-centric services that include product training development and delivery, tradeshow preparation, and web content creation.
Our interdisciplinary approach ensures that your NPD efforts will be characterized by exceptional effectiveness and system-level collaboration to produce exceptional value. In practical terms, this enables contributors to function as an effective team to develop a preferred product and deliver it on time to the target customers with the appropriate messages.
