Lifecycle Planning

Planning for support activities impacts the complete product lifecycle from development through obsolescence. Quite often minor changes early on the the process can have a dramatic effect on the costs and effectiveness of support once the product is in the customers' hands.

R&D is high tech. Everything else is secondary. "Build the product and they will come." That is our fundamental dream, the dynamic that drives all else.

The problem is, we grow past the dream. The products and markets and companies we create all grow up to make persistent and legitimate demands on us, and we have no choice but to serve them. And once this scenario begins, R&D doesn't get too focused on the generic product anymore. It must become whole product R&D.

Whole product R&D is driven not by the laboratory, but by the marketplace.

Crossing the Chasm

We offer a host of these services especially for small companies and start-ups that want to get the benefits of lifecycle support planning. We provide our clients with all the advantages of a professional marketing staff, but with the flexibility of an engagement-by-engagement commitment for maximum cost effectiveness.

We will work with you to develop, implement, or elaborate your customer care processes - both B2B and consumer. Clear, robust processes will establish a strong customer experience foundation to serve your business well into the future. Making this investment in customer care now will pay dividends creating a wider moat and a strong headwind for potential competitors.

Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Which lifecycle?

The term "lifecycle" is used to describe many different progressions in business. Most sources consider the R&D development process and the marketing lifecycle as two distinct sequences.

These distinctions are only useful in their respective teams. They lead to confusion when trying to communicate with respect to a complete organization.

For the most effective planning of the customer experience, we believe that the entire organizational lifecycle is best to use as decisions made anywhere in the R&D, marketing, or support lifecycles can have an impact on the customer.

Customer power is growing, and you must decide what to do about it!
