Consulting Services
OpLaunch consultants help companies refine and achieve their launch objectives. OpLaunch can provide immediate help when your project is in trouble by providing design and development services. We cover a wide range of new product development and launch needs including:
- Improved launch predictability
- Maximized return on investment
- Improved early sales
- Leveraging the work done during concept selection (during the fuzzy front end) for maximum development and launch synergy
Our consultants provide practical guidance on how to apply proven new product development and launch principles. Our flexibility and expertise enable us to improve the launch metrics obtained by both mature companies and startup companies.
Often, help from the appropriate consultant at the correct time is a critical component of a successful product launch. An expert in product launch can help you create the plans to achieve your launch objectives (such as a combination of a better, faster, and a more productive effort). There are other specialists to help you improve your business model, generate product ideas, and improve manufacturing efficiency. These other disciplines require a different skill set than a product launch specialty.
"Product commercialization (launch) often turns out to be the most expensive and risky part of the new product process, as well as the most poorly-managed." Crawford and Di Benedetto, New Products Management, 6th edition, McGraw-Hill Education, 2000, page 358.
OpLaunch maintains relationships with other A-list consultants and service providers so that we can assemble the best team to complement your existing infrastructure to maximize your potential for a successful launch. The combination of launch plans (from expert consultants) and launch deliverables (from A-list service providers) ensures that a co-developed and delivered launch has the maximum potential to meet your launch objectives.
Launch Architecture
Our highest level of launch service is launch architecture - the interdisciplinary design of new product launches. Launch architecture provides the design to combine many development contributions from multiple disciplines to create a synergistic launch. Launch synergy is the positive incremental performance gain of the team that is greater than the predicted performance of the individuals working together.
