...because every idea deserves every opportunity for success
idea-to-product-to-market...
Keith L Henk PE
has more than 30 years' corporate experience in new product development. Education includes degrees in Mechancal Engineering (BME) and Business Administration (MBA) from the University
of Minnesota. Mr Henk is a registered professional engineer (PE) and former president of Inventors' Network (Twin Cities). This website was borne of his passion for new products (4 patents), and the growing new product opportunities available to the little guy. Inventing? He's been there. Success? He's done it. On a shoestring? He gets it.
New product development (NPD) is a fascinating multi-discipline challenge.
But none of us has the time, money, or talent to develop new products on
our own. Every one of us is really good at some things, ok at other things,
and really bad at a few others. Some things we really like to do, others we
have to do, and still others we hate to do. Point is, we're all different, very
different from each other. So how can there be only one way to succeed?
There isn't. There are many ways, but each must be tailored individually.
A best move in one situation is often very different from the best move in
another. We help the little guy move from idea-to-product-to-market.
We're here for the little guys, the mere mortals among us who have an idea and want to move it
forward. The little guys face very different challenges than the big guys. The larger corporations
are driven by time-to-market. The little guy, however, is usually constrained by cash-to-market.
New products don't care who drives them. Success requires the same building blocks, no matter
who's in charge. But resources can vary in quality. And success is driven by those resources.
Little guys, therefore, cannot follow the same process as the big guys. It takes different thinking.
That's why we're here: To match the method; find the fit. Success requires a fitting strategy.
