NPD vs Offer Development • NPD = New Product Development design, prototyping, alpha/beta testing, launch • Offer Development = “the full monty” commercial proposition consumer (and trade) positioning brand and packaging product and service package consumer and trade promotions • At BIC Eryri NPD = Offer Development
Approaches to NPD • Iterative process focused upon delivery of COMMERCIAL PROPOSITION and POSITIONING • MUST be driven from top, delivered from bottom • Typical elements: - current market and target customer dynamics - 2-5 yrs ahead: via mapping, projective work - assessment of client strategies, resources - obsession with marketing rather than tech. - clear product/tech specs, part of offer dev. - interactive feedback: product/offer concepts - total project management
Stimulus Material Left Side Research, Logical, Analytical Thinking screen & evaluate sensible ideas Right Side Create / Intuitive Thinking generate loads of wacky, way out ideas Creativity Promising Ideas > Offer Development
