They say that “it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission”. Not so when the one’s you’re asking are your customers, partners, or stakeholders. There’s no advantage to taking unnecessary risks and needing to ask for costly forgiveness later. There’s nothing lost in seeking input from others, even when all parties disagree. In fact, it takes true strength to hold contradictory points of view in mind and come out ahead.
Taking on a new initiative often requires the perspectives of many people. New projects have implications, consequences, risks and obstacles that need to be managed and overcome.
Brandseed can help you rise above these challenges to deliver award-winning products, projects, or initiatives. We accomplish this by balancing an action-orientation with diplomacy and deep expertise in social technologies and methodologies.
New Initiative Management
Undertaking a new product initiative can be a major step forward in expanding your brand reach.
The stages include:
Opportunities (Assessment & Management):
- What problem are we trying to solve and for whom?
- What buyers are we trying to address and are they already engaged with us?
- What alternatives do they have at their disposal?
- How do we differentiate from those alternatives?
- How will success be measured?
- How will we launch?
- Is now the right time?
.
Discovery (Assessment & Management):
- Does anyone really want this product/initiative?
- What qualities do our prospective customers have?
- Why would they use the product?
- How would they use it? Would it come to them easily?
- What do they like about the product?
- How will we prioritize features?
Finally, prototyping the solution is performed to ensure a superior user experience that delivers value.
