Frontline Innovation™

In a nutshell, teams use their collective wisdom (Team Intelligence) to quickly screen feature solutions against proven consumer marketing principles—33 Critical Success Factors—in a measureable and trackable format. If teams stay close to customers and competitors (not so difficult when you know how), decision-making is always well grounded.

This approach is similar in methodology to rigorous and comprehensive programs instituted by major consumer product companies to validate new product ideas. It's just scaled down—and simplified—to fit the needs (and pace) of granular product development.
