Risk Management
The ability to capture and leverage institutional knowledge is the key to reducing the business risk, especially around new product launch. Your team has the experience needed to guide these decisions but often it is buried in people and not fully available where it is needed.
This institutional knowledge in product development is imbedded in operational standards. Risk mitigation is only achieved by capturing and leveraging institutional knowledge in the analysis and planning of new development opportunities.
Organizational Design
The design of an organization determines how it will innovate and deliver new technology. There is no one model for success!
Organizations need to look and their products, customer strategies, speed of technology, and growth objectives to determine a structure that best fits the strategy of the business.
Leadership Development
An organization only becomes a team with correct leadership in place. It is imperative that we move from a hierarchical ‘boss’ structure to an organic mission driven team that is supported by leaders focused on coaching, breaking down barriers, and enabling people.
Engineering leadership only happens with the experts becoming the teachers.
Technology Strategy
Technology strategy starts with the business…engineering and research are merely the enablers in the journey. An effective plan is created when there is a closed-loop system between engineering and the rest of the organization.
A robust planning process takes knowledge from the market and emerging technologies and defines a roadmap of products that meet or exceed the timing defined by your customers.
Customer Engagement
Customers are the purpose of any business. Organizations need to leverage both the commercial and technical relationships to build both their book of business and the long-term technology roadmap.
Your success is delivering solutions to the problems they did not know they had. This can only be accomplished with intimate relationships embedded with key customers
Engineering Modernization
Not only are products changing but also the way they are developed. Today's engineering depends on seamless data integration that allows for digital design, design optimization, and ultimately design automation.
New tools coming out daily and companies need to evaluate their engineering investment to ensure competitiveness within their industry. Modernization means evaluating both the tools and skills needed to create the competitive advantage that allows for expanded margins.
Operational Excellence
An engineering organization is the product factory to your business. It is important that processes work efficiently both and deliver both cost and speed advantages. These advantages are in footprint, decision processes, tools, and effective collaboration mechanisms.
This is supported by structural transparency that surfaces concerns quickly and is focused on eliminating non-value activities
Technical Problem Solving
There are many tools that support problem solving but the most effective ones are those that leverage the overall experience and engagement of the greater team.
Structured approaches are key and needed, but effective team management drives the results.
Transitional & Fractional Leadership
There are times when an organization is going through significant change, and they need experienced leaders to come in and help transition the organization during the critical portion of change management.
This helps create urgency without politics and allows an organization to transition and build in parallel.
