Why Startup Consulting?
Startup consulting implies advising on fast and efficient planning, developing, and launching of new software products. We help both first-time and experienced founders plan and design selling software products and establish a fast and economically sound software development process with minimized rework risks.
These offerings satisfy a need, or they solve a problem that has yet to be defined – but would delight customers if they knew they existed. The most effective, lean product development processes are based on empowerment and trust.
Management’s goals are best served when team leaders have responsibility and accountability for the new product development process. Senior management must let go of the tendency to micro-manage and empower teams to be successful. Our approach encourages the right kind of senior management oversight that keeps empowered teams on task throughout the product design and development process. In other words, as little process as necessary, but enough to prevent repeating mistakes.
Organizations are often trying to innovate in new ways. We have helped clients with Design Thinking to help assure that the new, transformative products will delight customers at launch. We de-mystify the front end with systems that enable decision-makers to converge quickly and reliably on the best opportunities for creating winning products.
“Design Thinking is a way of looking at innovation, to find the intersection between human values, technical capability, and commercial viability.”
Many startups and growth companies are struggling to scale, and to reach that next level of development maturity. This becomes a challenge when organizations start a new product line or develop interdependent projects at the same time. We help organizations manage this new complexity with novel program management methods to improve predictability.
