Open Innovation and Cultural Consulting

Hi all,

What do Open Innovation and Cultural Consulting have in common? Well, stay tuned here to find out, as Tech Bridge West will be teaming up with Schott Cultural Consulting to present a webinar on How to Use Open Innovation in a Multi-Cultural Market (tentative subject/title). I'm really looking forward to working with Kim Schott, as she has a program that will get you more business leads than you know what to do with, and can help you when you are ready to take advantage of the overseas market. Check out her website at www.SchottCulturalConsulting.com. More on the webinar as the details are fleshed out.

I am working today on an article on how speed, cost and quality affect the product development process. Imagine a triangle with the three points being cost, quality and speed. Traditional thinking says you can have two of the three at any time, but never all three. For example, you can get a product to the market quickly and of high quality, but it will cost a lot. Similarly, you can have a product that is high quality and low cost, but it will take a lot longer to develop and launch.

Of course, we at Tech Bridge West have figured out a way to get all three points of the triangle at the same time. How, you ask? Well, check out our website, www.TechBridgeWest.com and sign-up for the Press Kit. Once in the Press Kit area, look for the article called "Escaping the Bermuda Triangle of Product Development". Have fun with it and don't be shy; if you have questions give me a shout.
