Please contact us to learn more about any of the following services or to discuss your needs. 

Consulting

We'll start by understanding your needs and develop a program for your team, and with your team, for a successful product planning system. The system is based on industry best practices and guaranteed to be repeatable and able to be driven and owned by your team.

A consulting engagement usually comes in two forms:

1. We help your product team by facilitating a new product planning process. We use the Power Planning System to take your team (usually from 4-10 members) through a successful planning effort. The result is a plan that is universally viewed as meeting your business objectives. The team learns innovation process by working directly with your own products and markets.

2. Planning Innovations Group develops a winning product plan based on your vision by working closely with your executive team. In this case Planning Innovations is often considered part-time senior product management. We can often jump start development while working closely with your development team to ensure the right start.

Training and Workshops
Planning Innovations also offers a variety of workshops and training on specific aspects of successful Innovation Planning. Some of these opportunities include:

One-Hour Webinar

This is a web-driven overview of successful innovation planning using the Power Planning System. We offer this as a public Webinar but are also happy to provide a company-specific version.
