From idea to profits. We help you set up your organisation to develop and deliver more profitable new products to the market quicker. Fast tracking your New Product Development (NPD). I help CEO’s and executive teams to improve profitability and market share through setting up their organisation to predictably deliver a continuous stream of profitable high quality new products (or services) faster. I specialise in improving the NPD process to consistently deliver ‘faster, better, more profitable’. That is better quality new products (or services), in shorter time frames, with reduced cost, higher margins and reduced risk. It significantly improves product development productivity, lifting efficiency and effectiveness. As such I work a lot with food & beverage manufacturers in NZ. I’ve successfully launched over a hundred products (and some businesses) onto the NZ market and with over 20 years of experience focusing on improving the new product development (NPD) process and over 12 years experience managing NPD projects in NZ I know how to fast track the development and launch profitable projects. Above all, I have successfully done this for other businesses in NZ. Next to running my consulting business, I lecture at the University of Auckland, am committee member of the PDMA in NZ and a lead design coach in NZTE's Better by Design Programme. If the above is of interest, I’d love to hear from you. You can find my contact details on LinkedIn or www.vandergeest.co.nz.
