Case Study Centre of Excellence Product Champion • Early Stage Company • Inventor • Angel Investors • Product concept/prototype • No Product/Market alignment • No Business processes • No Software Development processes • Limited Intellectual Property Management
Key Issues • Understanding the concept of commercialisation: • Release-based product, not bespoke. • The importance of R & D being separated from operations • Flexible product architecture, configuration, parameterisation • ‘Cookie Cutter’ implementation process • Implementations run in parallel not serial. Well structured not iterative. • Continuous business improvement • Capture the value within the process and achieve repeatability. Release-based ‘Cookie Cutter’ Capturing the Value
Key Issues Market Awareness Setting Expectations • Think Global/Big not Local/Small – impact of market size, distance from market, culture, language. • How to maximise the effectiveness of the marketing/sales process and to minimise the impact on development and implementations. • Control the client, don’t leave the client to control you. • Set expectations up front of how you do business, take ownership for the process. This establishes a framework to increase your chances of success.
