Service Description

What is it: Developing physical products is complex, costly, and often overwhelming, especially without a sound understanding of the development process and tools you can utilise. Accelerate is a focused training session designed to build internal clarity, test processes, and frameworks so you can make smarter early-stage decisions that save time and reduce risk. You’re likely a fit if: – You’re a startup or early-stage founder navigating your first product and unsure how to prioritise effort. – You’re a growing brand needing to bring structure to your product development process. – You’re part of a manufacturing business looking to build internal IP or products, but you don't have the internal processes to transform. What you get: Bespoke training focused on your most pressing physical product barriers. This can be delivered Via VC and/or in person, depending on business requirements In this training, we can dive into concepts such as: – Simple frameworks to audit your current product landscape – How to assess product-market fit at an early stage – Mapping product opportunities based on ROI and business alignment – Visualising your product development pipeline – Drafting clear opportunity statements and project briefs – Intro to Design for Manufacturing (DfM) thinking and risk mitigation tools like DFMEA/UFMEA – Basic quality control documentation for manufacturing Typical format: 1 x 1/2 day training session (virtual or in person) 1 x 60-minute follow-up call to help embed the tools and thinking (Note: Prices are in NZD and Exclusive of GST.)
