      Product Innovation Predictions with Long-Range Accuracy

By combining science and patent mapping visualizations, market and financial information and business behavior, we can routinely predict with stunning long-range accuracy …
•  how new technology will evolve,
•  which new products can emerge,
•  the nature of the competition and
•  which players are likely to be successful.

      Best Kept Secret on the Planet!

Analyzing the market AND the product innovation landscape together at the beginning of a project or program has several benefits.
•  More and better ideas.
•  A uniquely robust understanding of the competition.
•  Key information about product risks for decisions BEFORE heavy investment.
•  Communication tool for helping managers with different skills and vocabularies.

      How it Works. Why it Works.

Product innovation is a process. Recent publications by O’Connor, Christensen, Davenport, Chesbrough and others have outlined the framework for the innovation process and strategies for innovation management. With the framework, innovation can be tracked and planned IF it is also measured properly. See how to measure innovation.

There are powerful forces at work that causes business to publicly disclose their innovation plans, but you must know where to look to find the disclosures. See Patent Insights’ blog post for more on why mapping works.

      The Problem with "Traditional Practices"

Planning for a next generation product innovation is a stunningly difficult problem. Most of the time, there are multiple product innovation options from which to choose. Often, the options are incompletely documented. As a result, new product innovation management has been a very high-risk proposition and fails often.

Many organizations listen to the voice of the customer. However, the customer is not always right. Other organizations rely on marketing research to make product development decisions, but sometimes even marketing research is not enough!

Some organizations have chosen to reduce technology investment and R&D risks by relying more heavily on open innovation, licensing or acquisition decisions. But, licensing or acquisition decisions bring other types of risk and require organizational assimilation skills that are also unusual.
