Get your best product ideas out to the market

As the innovation process guy, I help product and R&D managers find customer-focused ideas that align with their organization, so they can bring them to market with confidence!

Fast Results

An intensive workshop and sprint approach so that your issue can be solved in days or weeks, not months.

Knowledge Transfer

The whole product team benefits from hands-on training, so you can be self-sufficient in the future

You are in control

Start with a discovery call, then get just what you need - whether that it is a Business Case Reality Check, Strategy alignment, JTDB Results, a strategic idea selection and validation or a full-blown innovation framework (FORTH)

Is your organization preventing you from developing successful product ideas?

If you're a product or R&D manager in a company that has successful products in the market, that success might be holding your organization back from innovating. As a product manager, you know that products & buying behaviors are changing rapidly - but the attitudes and behaviors that have made your organization successful in the past might be preventing your best ideas from getting to the market.

...there is a little urgency to innovate

Product innovation is slow, and leadership appears not to have a sense of urgency.

Slow development cycles are causing you to miss market windows and growth opportunities

...product development is reactive

Product strategy is reactive or defensive rather than forward looking.

New products that are very different from existing ones have difficulty being approved or are not developed at all.

...there is a culture of "We know what the customer needs"

Development is technology-driven, focusing on shiny new features, rather than customer needs.

New products aren't adding significant value to your customers' lives, and are failing in the market.

...decisions are not data-driven

There is a culture of relying on anecdotal evidence, old market data and irrational exuberance when evaluating new business ideas.

As a product manager, you have trouble convincing the organization of the business case, and you yourself may be unsure if they will deliver the results you expect

You deserve an ally

An ally for the process.

So you can focus fully on your expertise.

I'm Florian Hameister, starting my corporate life in New Product Development; I banged my head against the wall hard and often. It hurt and was no fun.

Then I learned, reflected, and discovered methods, tools, and techniques that helped me to break through it.

My mission is to share this better way for New Product Development. I help product managers find customer-focused ideas that align with their organization so that they can bring them to market with confidence!

I help your team develop their best ideas and bring them to market.

Re-Align with Your Organization

Your leadership team are focussed on the bigger picture, but bringing everyone along is challenging as their is always inertia and ways of working can become outdated and not sufficient to keep up with the fast pace of modern product development

Re-invigorate Your Customer Focus

All successful organizations start with an idea that delights their customers, and that is the basis for their success. however, over time it is easy to lose that focus as the market needs and those of their customers change and evolve.

Testimonials

Florian led several online innovation workshops in which I participated. These were the best online workshops I have ever experienced. Florian masters many online tools, is patient, explains the process in a visual and clear way, connects with the whole group, feels the need, creates a lot of energy, and is flexible but never loses sight of the workshop's goal. If you want to achieve great results in a fun and energetic workshop, I can highly recommend Florian as an online facilitator.

Mathijs Niehaus
Serial Innovator

Florian is an awesome facilitator. He is technically savvy in doing online facilitation and is able to guide those who were technically challenged. He takes the experiment-reflect-learn-improve way of doing things. Totally unflustered when things do not work exactly how they should go and quickly finds a solution to get back on track. Highly recommend him for any online facilitation workshop.

Safura Atan

Our team worked with Florian to master online innovation tools and processes. Florian’s grasp of the concepts and the way to deliver them to the team was superb. He was always available for comment/questions on WhatsApp and also via email. The sessions were always on time, engaging and insightful. Can’t say enough good things about his energy, skills and training. A++

Florian is very knowledgeable on the topic of innovation, and he has a very structured approach. I would highly recommend his services or any course that he would run.

Karen Luyt

Florian is probably the best support you can get if you still struggle with what ideas you want to execute.

Lars Behrendt
Innovation Expert

We wanted to structure our idea and innovation process more simply and clearly.Florian showed us how to further develop a potential idea, validate it, cluster it, and evaluate it.We were surprised by how complex such an idea-generation process actually is. The new structure helped us a lot to move through this process.I couldn't imagine before how to structure the process to make it usable and transparent for many. However, Florian's presentation, his templates, and the shared experience showed that it is possible after all!Florian has a relaxed, witty, and purposeful way of conducting the workshop. I especially enjoyed working through the idea sketches with my own team. I recommend the collaboration to anyone who wants to rethink their idea or innovation concept and think outside the box of old, familiar methodologies.
