Business Consulting

Ideas are the fuel of innovation. We all have them, we often share them and yet for many businesses the idea process is not well defined. Clear identification of an idea manager and an ideas management process is the foundation of Effective New Product Innovation.

Prodex Systems offers consulting services which include:

• Development of idea process models
• Definition of idea evaluation and scorecarding criteria
• Management of idea generation campaigns

Prodex supports the development, implementation, training and support of Stage-Gate processes. Our clients range from small to medium Australian businesses through to Global multi-nationals.

We work with you to review the critical risks in your New Product Innovation process and ensure that you have processes in place which are aligned with effective risk management.

This work often results in the definition of multiple Stage-Gate models for:

• incremental change projects,
• new to company projects, and
• new platform technology development projects.

Our Stage-Gate consulting work draws from best practice templates and delivers process structure which is aligned with portfolio planning and process automation technologies.

Drawn from the strategic product planning process, our portfolio planning processes are tailored to suit the needs of each individual business. We use an ‘Innovation Dashboard’ framework to define the key performance and monitoring criteria for the effective management of your innovation portfolio.

Our definition of effective portfolio planning methods is designed for integration with Stage-Gate process models and can be integrated with technology to provide automated real time portfolio management reporting.
