Outsourced Technical Director

I have considerable experience of managing the product generation process – evaluating opportunities and turning ideas into products.  By using my services, my clients get access to the experience of a senior technical director without having to employ a full-time member of staff – you only pay for my time when you need it.

Some of the tasks I undertake are:

• New Technology Evaluation
  What is the impact and business value of a new technology?
• New Product Evaluation
  How will a potential new product fare in the current and future market?
• Programme Evaluation
  Evaluation of current product development projects

  What opportunities are available to the organisation, and how should it choose between them?
  Evaluating Opportunities

  Helping the organisation to evaluate its portfolio of projects and to decide on the relative merits of new projects.
• Product and R&D Strategy
  Facilitating the strategy process to create a long-term product roadmap
  Strategy Consulting
• Evaluation of Potential Investments or Partners
  I can evaluate the technical competence, Intellectual Property and resources of potential take-over targets or potential partners
