product development
Product development can be the most challenging, indeed risky, process in any business. Get it right, and hit the market on time with innovation that solves a customer problem and you are on the way to fame and fortune. Get it wrong at any point and you will lose yesterday's hard won market position and the sunk cost of the project to date..
This theme is about techniques that can help you manage the process so that more winners come to market. bizlearn has commissioned Whitepapers on a range of techniques to help you reduce the risk of your product development process.
Our first whitepaper >>> Testable Prototypes Fast >>> explains how to combine stereo photo lithography to produce a testable prototype of that difficult component really quickly, so that you can know that it will work in practice. Written by Mark Hildesley PE, a consultant materials engineer and naval architect from Auckland, New Zealand, it is packed with useful advice on how to produce a prototype that you can test in the field.

Future topics on our planning board include:
- Managing your prototype program.
High performance products have to be tested in the field at some point in the process - the earlier the better. As Tom Peters wrote in In Search of Excellence, "Do your chicken test early." Setting up your prototyping program to ensure that your testing delivers meaningful results to predict product performance should not be left to chance.
- Coordinating Product Development processes to speed up time to market.
- Keeping track of your product Development Investment.
