New device development is hard
You are not alone
With an abundance of ideas and possibilities, the task of selecting and executing efficiently can seem daunting and challenging. Moreover, creating something new often demands a diverse skill set that an entity may not possess in its entirety. Thus, collaboration is crucial to merge various perspectives, skills and resources from investors, designers, scientists, engineers and business leaders to ensure your idea hits the mark.
Based on my extensive experience in pushing new ideas forward in various industries, I have come to realise that success and failure of products are not solely determined by the merit of the idea itself. There are numerous factors that can affect the outcome, such as project planning, executive strategy, and program execution. It is important to approach the process with a realistic mindset and be prepared to adapt and pivot as necessary.
I can help you realise the path. To validate and showcase the potential of your idea promptly, it is imperative to have a lean plan to a minimum viable product (MVP). This can catalyse investor or grant funding to elevate your product from good to great.
By prioritising research, identifying suitable resources and partners, navigating your quality and regulatory requirements, managing risks, and crafting a lean strategy to MVP, I can guide you through this process and give you and your innovation the best possible chance of success.
