Our 4 levels of engagement Level 0- Risk Assessment Level 1- Proof of Concept Level 2- Sustenance & Growth Level 3- Maximize Exit
Level  0 Risk  Assessment
We want to reduce  risk
Sources of risk Most organizations & investors form their strategy based on analysis of traditional risks. But more the deep one goes it is seen that other non –traditional risks are the biggest culprits for failures.  Core to any business is its product or the brand or at times the packaging. Either these areas are not analyzed fully or ignored. Many business have failed because they didn’t fully analyze risks that were involved in a Brand, Product & Packaging. Razr initially took off & hopes of resurrecting Motorola were high but it eventually bombed

Real Value Vacuumizer:  Is it a technology in search of a solution? When you do that funnel filter, you do need to ask the question , "Can we make it?", but the first hurdle to pass is "Will she buy it?"   Remember the  Real Value Vacuumizer  -  a clunky, expensive contraption that sat on that piece of high-valued real estate - the housewife's crowded kitchen counter, and helped her "keep  namkeens  fresh"?  Ziplock did the job just as well, thank you .  Life may soon be extinguished out of Maharashtra-based Real Value Appliances Ltd (RVAL), manufacturers of Ceasefire brand of fire extinguishers and vaccumizer cooking equipment, with the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) confirming its prima facie opinion of winding up the company.  Radhika Chadha, Karate-gy, thehindubusinessline.com 2006
Reckitt Finish:  Does the market suffer from a "fraction of a fraction of a fraction" problem? I felt a frisson of  déjà vu  when I saw the news that  Reckitt has launched dishwasher tablets called Finish . Sorry, that should've been "re-launched". The number of dishwashing machines is minuscule in India.  So, the potential for dishwashing tablets was an infinitesimal percentage of the detergent market  that was the used by the tiny percentage of dishwasher users ...  you get the idea.  Nothing fundamental has changed in the last six years - yes, there is more money sloshing around in nuclear family households,  but kitchens are still small, the  bai  hasn't become redundant, and the number of dishwashers hasn't taken off as yet.  I really wonder whether it is worth revisiting this product idea just now.  Radhika Chadha, Karate-gy, thehindubusinessline.com 2006
Apple Newton Arguably ahead of its time , Apple debuted this PDA device in 1993.   Computerworld says it flopped partially because of its  high price ($700 or more), bulkiness and the ridicule it received from talk show comedians and comic strips like 'Doonesbury' which focused on the supposed inaccuracy of the handwriting recognition. The Newton faded away in 1998 , but chartered the course for the Palm Pilot in the late 90's and the popular BlackBerry & iPhone today.
Cosmopolitan Yogurt Cosmopolitan has 58 international editions, is published in 36 languages and is distributed in more than 100 countries, making it one of the most dynamic brands on the planet. You could say it's got this "magazine thing" down pat. All the more reason why it should stick to what it does best.  One thing Cosmo does not do best is brand and sell yogurt.  Yes, yogurt.  From the time of its release, the yogurt was supposedly off of the shelves in 18 months.
Sony Betamax The Betamax video recorder hit stores in 1975. A year later, Sony's rival released another video recorder -- the VHS. By early 1977,  four other companies were selling VHS machines . Meanwhile, Sony chose not to license Betamax technology. Because the two formats were incompatible, consumers had to choose between the two.  As Sony was the lone Betamax producer, you can guess which system they chose.

Design is the thread that ties companies to growth.
Good design is a source of competitive advantage Companies that invest in design can avoid competing on price alone.  Research has shown that design is a significant source of competitive advantage. Companies that invest in their design capability and develop a reputation for innovation can avoid competing on price alone.  In the UK, 45 per cent of firms that don’t use design compete mainly on price; only 21per cent of firms where design is significant do so.  Design Council, UK
What can a business do to rapidly increase turnover growth? Invest in design, then measure the return on design investment (RODI) in terms of the time it takes to recoup the investment. Businesses that take design seriously are more likely to measure its impact.  Rapid turnover growth was four times more likely for businesses that did this.  ‘ On average, it takes 20 months for design projects to pay back the investment.’   Develop new products and services. This also nearly doubled the chances of rapid growth, which increased by a factor of 1.9. Design Council, UK
Design in the downturn Over half (54%) of firms believe design will help them stay competitive during the economic downturn The role of design Large firms were twice as likely (69%) to have developed new products and services than micro businesses (33%) Over a third (35%) of large firms say design is integral to their operation and almost a further half (47%) describe it as having a significant role. Design Council, UK
A group of 63 companies identified to be effective users of design outperformed  the FTSE 100 index over the full period  by 200% , and also beat their peers in the recent bull and bear markets  Design Council, UK
The companies are grouped into two portfolios – the ‘Design Portfolio’ and the ‘Emerging Portfolio’  The chart summarizes the performance of these two portfolios over the ten-year period of the analysis
The table below shows, both the Design Portfolio and the Emerging Portfolio outperformed the FTSE indices at all stages in the cycle.  This outperformance included the bear market period, from which no companies are immune, but during which both portfolios sustained much lower losses than the general UK stock market.  Design Council, UK
How can a business use design to increase turnover growth? If you’re designing new products and services, use design to lead and guide the process.  The chances of design contributing to turnover growth rose more than threefold  (by 3.3) Use design in all stages of developing new products and services.  Businesses that did were twice as likely to see design contributing to growth  (by 2.1) Use design in business planning. Doing so  doubled  the chances of design contributing to turnover and profit growth in the businesses we surveyed. Use design in internally facing functions (such as workplace interior and internal communications).  This increased the chances of design contributing to turnover growth  by 1.8 times Design Council, UK
What design can do for your figures? Design can have a positive effect on all business performance indicators, from turnover and profit to market share and competitiveness. For example, for every £100 a design alert business spends on design, turnover increases by £225 Design Council, UK
By how much can design increase market share? On average, design alert businesses increase their market share by 6.3% through design Design Council, UK
Level  2 Sustenance &  Growth
Are you able to cope with the slow down? How does one succeed with minimal change? OR Are you able to increase the market share and grow year on year? Are you able to tap the hidden potential of your Brand / Product / Service? Level 2 – Sustenance & Growth
We believe that  Brand / Product / Service is the core  and with changing economic, social and political scenarios it demands a change, which typically may not be an easy choice to make. The  inertia to change  is further aggravated when  owners or promoters are deeply attached  with the Brand / Product / Service   We provide this change to help the brand catapult and emerge out of the darkness by  identifying factors responsible for deterioration and infuse new life  or offer unmatched competitive advantage  to the Brand / Product / Service through our  Proprietary Design Innovation Processes Level 2 – Sustenance & Growth

Level 3 Maximize
Not only is the priority of an investor to earn a certain level of ROI but also to maximize it at the time of exit. It is seen that even though the business has attained a certain envisioned growth and valuation in terms of market share there is a poor response at the time of Initial Public Offering (IPO). One of the main missing link is mindshare. We build mindshare.

Is Corporate Branding Key For IPO? When planning for a successful IPO, a distinct and powerful name with recognition is required. Just like how your latest technology and your other corporate assets are essential to develop great financials for a potential IPO, your corporate image and brand name recognition are equally important to get the word out in the marketplace. Both are critical for real success.
Preparing for an IPO, Kenneth G. Pott, Principal, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter 2000 Analysts/Investors Approach to Valuation Risk attacks almost every aspect of the value chain Design helps every aspect of the value chain through research & innovation ensuring desired results
Uniqueness and distinction  Uniqueness and distinction makes a clear path of communication starting from your HQ all the way to the shareholders via the stock markets. A corporate brand with millions of dollars in advertising and promotional support is just a useless brand unless it has a unique position, and a clear name identity, strong enough to place the corporation aside from all the other copycats and look-alike, similarly named companies.
The Best IPO Name It is absolutely critical to have a great name for the IPO. Very often, corporations convince themselves that they have the best corporate name. For any IPO planning, a clear and distinct powerful name is a prerequisite, and this process must be carried out well in advance of such an undertaking.  Park the emotions outside the boardroom and ask some tough questions. How is the name structured and what messages are being emulated by this moniker?
The Best Corporate Image It is absolutely critical to have a proper corporate image to fit your true corporate personality and as name issues are solved, this process only becomes a logical extension. Often corporations have their corporate image diametrically opposed to the subtle message of the name, which was initially supposed to be saying something else, is being read very differently by the market at large. This type of chaos in the communication messages what hurts the young IPO. The creation of an IPO is a fine art, so is the creation of corporate names and corporate image.
The Best Delivery Of Message All is useless, without a clear and a distinct supporting message along with a system to reach the largest targeted audience. Today, cyber-branding plays a critical role, the perfect URL, the website and the navigation. The right content delivered at the right time and the right place to the correct person.  Easy and simple.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Extended data Switch Business Challenge Patent Pending QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03
Patent Pending The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify  :  The larger issues involving server downtime and wire clutter, were identified by the Client, who sought redressal of those issues from an effective design solution. Our research and evaluation of the scenario revealed several potential smaller issues that could fail the product. We identified that disengaging the entire EXSW at one motion could save a lot of time. However, there were concerns of orienting or grouping jacks, entry of the cat-5 cables from the side- docking to the front, relay rack mounting, ability to see the side mounting and variation in the distance of the starting point of the jack row. The solution had to address these issues within the given rack dimension  We also undertook research in terms of ideas and products that were already under patent, to avoid IPR conflicts. Integrate :   Integration involved funneling the entire research into potential solutions. Design had to be integrated with the business strategy. Speed was the critical factor in the design innovation  Innovate :   The innovation lied in Product Concept & detailing, Mechanism Design and 3D evaluation. The design featured two-telescopic extensions that could be used with any standard make and model of switches. The device could be securely clamped with the relay racks. The clip-snap mechanism released all jacks at once, optimizing on time. The total number of wires were divided along both sides of the switch enabling better cable management. The innovation would reduce average loss of $250,000 per year per 100 employees for a banking, credit card or an online transactions company * Translate :   Prototypes were developed to physically check the entire mechanism and further refining was done. We also undertook the IPR documentation for the product Maximize :   The design enabled elimination of horizontal management trays Extended data Switch (* According to an independent study commissioned by LeCroy)

The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify  :  Existing product was non contemporary and didn’t look like the value it asked for. The product looked inferior to competitors products thus reducing overall impact & value. The solution had to be of similar size, volume & cost It should be designed to accommodate existing circuits & internal parts and be manufactured using existing capabilities  Integrate :  Design had to be integrated with customer preferences, styling trends, overall production and assembly techniques Innovate :   The Product design innovation and styling takes the product into the consumer electronic products league thus breaking the electrical hardware product barrier mindset. The design enhanced the overall product image and enhanced perception allowing a approx 10-15% price hike-up. The new design accommodates existing circuits & internal parts and is manufactured using existing capabilities  Maximize :   The design enabled breaking 3 barriers customer mindset, product positioning in a different league & price band

The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify  :  Our research and evaluation of the product revealed several cost bottle necks that would eventually add to the cost of the product. The cost bottle necks were total no of parts, tool cost, production & assembly time. The solution had to address these issues within the given specified standards and specifications from the OEM. We also undertook IPR so that the client can potentially protect their product. Integrate :  Integration involved funneling the entire research into potential solutions. Design had to be integrated with the overall production and assembly techniques at both ITW and Maruti’s production & assembly lines. Speed of assembly and total cost of product were the critical factors in the design innovation.  Innovate :   The innovation lied in Product concept & detailing, Mechanism Design and 3D evaluation. The design reduced the total no of complicate tooling components thus reducing per part cost. The mechanisms were designed to optimize assembly time. The total number of wires were divided along both sides of the switch enabling better cable management. The innovation was found to reduce 25% tool cost and around 15% overall cost of product for ITW. Not only did the cost go down but the over all margins improved Translate :   Prototypes were developed to physically check the entire mechanism and further refining was done.  Maximize :   The design enabled elimination of lot of unnecessary parts. ITW also was preferred over other suppliers and has been awarded other cup holder projects ITW cup-holder

The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify  :  Our evaluation of the existing product design & production technique that used was used was adding unnecessary cost to the product. The product looked inferior to competitors products thus reducing overall impact & value. The solution had to address these issues with understanding that the client was relatively new to the market and had lesser financial and manufacturing capabilities  Integrate :  Design had to be integrated with the overall production and assembly techniques at client’s vendors production & assembly lines  Innovate :   The innovation lied in Product design and process evaluation. The design enhanced the overall product image and enhanced perception. The new design can now be produced on a far cheaper composite material production technique thus reducing the total cost (which otherwise was Injection molding - investment of about Rs.8-10 lac with a MOQ promise is essential). A composite material mold and prototype for POC were made in as low as Rs.35,000/-. Batch production was made possible. Also, since builders are the major channels for these devices, a lot of mass cusomization was needed, was made possible through design intervention  Translate :   Prototypes were developed to physically test the product Maximize :   The design enabled elimination of expensive manufacturing technique

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Business Challenge
Identify :   How does one create amazing use case experience? How does one create brand recall through packaging? How does one engage & connect longer with the consumer?  (traditional touch points are retail & kitchen)    Our research suggested that organic tea is perceived more as an experience than a mere beverage. Secondly, time spend with the brand/ pack is very less leading to low brand exposure and low consumer engagement. The pack is confined to kitchen & never makes it to the dining or living areas negating any possibility of brand visibility or exposure to other person or the guests. Lowering word of mouth chances  Integrate  :   The design had to be integrated with the launch strategy, target market, brand positioning, production, costs, logistics, etc. The brand values also need to be reflected through the packaging design The Process

  • 7. Sources of risk Most organizations & investors form their strategy based on analysis of traditional risks. But more the deep one goes it is seen that other non –traditional risks are the biggest culprits for failures. Core to any business is its product or the brand or at times the packaging. Either these areas are not analyzed fully or ignored. Many business have failed because they didn’t fully analyze risks that were involved in a Brand, Product & Packaging.

  • 11. Real Value Vacuumizer: Is it a technology in search of a solution? When you do that funnel filter, you do need to ask the question , "Can we make it?", but the first hurdle to pass is "Will she buy it?" Remember the Real Value Vacuumizer - a clunky, expensive contraption that sat on that piece of high-valued real estate - the housewife's crowded kitchen counter, and helped her "keep namkeens fresh"? Ziplock did the job just as well, thank you . Life may soon be extinguished out of Maharashtra-based Real Value Appliances Ltd (RVAL), manufacturers of Ceasefire brand of fire extinguishers and vaccumizer cooking equipment, with the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) confirming its prima facie opinion of winding up the company.

  • 12. Reckitt Finish: Does the market suffer from a "fraction of a fraction of a fraction" problem? I felt a frisson of déjà vu when I saw the news that Reckitt has launched dishwasher tablets called Finish . Sorry, that should've been "re-launched". The number of dishwashing machines is minuscule in India. So, the potential for dishwashing tablets was an infinitesimal percentage of the detergent market that was the used by the tiny percentage of dishwasher users ... you get the idea. Nothing fundamental has changed in the last six years - yes, there is more money sloshing around in nuclear family households, but kitchens are still small, the bai hasn't become redundant, and the number of dishwashers hasn't taken off as yet. I really wonder whether it is worth revisiting this product idea just now. Radhika Chadha, Karate-gy, thehindubusinessline.com 2006
  • 13. Apple Newton Arguably ahead of its time , Apple debuted this PDA device in 1993. Computerworld says it flopped partially because of its high price ($700 or more), bulkiness and the ridicule it received from talk show comedians and comic strips like 'Doonesbury' which focused on the supposed inaccuracy of the handwriting recognition. The Newton faded away in 1998 , but chartered the course for the Palm Pilot in the late 90's and the popular BlackBerry & iPhone today.
  • 14. Cosmopolitan Yogurt Cosmopolitan has 58 international editions, is published in 36 languages and is distributed in more than 100 countries, making it one of the most dynamic brands on the planet. You could say it's got this "magazine thing" down pat. All the more reason why it should stick to what it does best. One thing Cosmo does not do best is brand and sell yogurt. Yes, yogurt. From the time of its release, the yogurt was supposedly off of the shelves in 18 months.
  • 15. Sony Betamax The Betamax video recorder hit stores in 1975. A year later, Sony's rival released another video recorder -- the VHS. By early 1977, four other companies were selling VHS machines . Meanwhile, Sony chose not to license Betamax technology. Because the two formats were incompatible, consumers had to choose between the two. As Sony was the lone Betamax producer, you can guess which system they chose.

  • 50. Design is the thread that ties companies to growth.
  • 51. Good design is a source of competitive advantage Companies that invest in design can avoid competing on price alone. Research has shown that design is a significant source of competitive advantage. Companies that invest in their design capability and develop a reputation for innovation can avoid competing on price alone. In the UK, 45 per cent of firms that don’t use design compete mainly on price; only 21per cent of firms where design is significant do so. Design Council, UK
  • 52. What can a business do to rapidly increase turnover growth? Invest in design, then measure the return on design investment (RODI) in terms of the time it takes to recoup the investment. Businesses that take design seriously are more likely to measure its impact. Rapid turnover growth was four times more likely for businesses that did this. ‘ On average, it takes 20 months for design projects to pay back the investment.’ Develop new products and services. This also nearly doubled the chances of rapid growth, which increased by a factor of 1.9. Design Council, UK
  • 53. Design in the downturn Over half (54%) of firms believe design will help them stay competitive during the economic downturn The role of design Large firms were twice as likely (69%) to have developed new products and services than micro businesses (33%) Over a third (35%) of large firms say design is integral to their operation and almost a further half (47%) describe it as having a significant role. Design Council, UK
  • 54. A group of 63 companies identified to be effective users of design outperformed the FTSE 100 index over the full period by 200% , and also beat their peers in the recent bull and bear markets Design Council, UK
  • 55. The companies are grouped into two portfolios – the ‘Design Portfolio’ and the ‘Emerging Portfolio’ The chart summarizes the performance of these two portfolios over the ten-year period of the analysis
  • 56. The table below shows, both the Design Portfolio and the Emerging Portfolio outperformed the FTSE indices at all stages in the cycle. This outperformance included the bear market period, from which no companies are immune, but during which both portfolios sustained much lower losses than the general UK stock market. Design Council, UK
  • 57. How can a business use design to increase turnover growth? If you’re designing new products and services, use design to lead and guide the process. The chances of design contributing to turnover growth rose more than threefold (by 3.3) Use design in all stages of developing new products and services. Businesses that did were twice as likely to see design contributing to growth (by 2.1) Use design in business planning. Doing so doubled the chances of design contributing to turnover and profit growth in the businesses we surveyed. Use design in internally facing functions (such as workplace interior and internal communications). This increased the chances of design contributing to turnover growth by 1.8 times Design Council, UK
  • 58. What design can do for your figures? Design can have a positive effect on all business performance indicators, from turnover and profit to market share and competitiveness. For example, for every £100 a design alert business spends on design, turnover increases by £225 Design Council, UK
  • 59. By how much can design increase market share? On average, design alert businesses increase their market share by 6.3% through design Design Council, UK
  • 60. Level 2 Sustenance & Growth
  • 61. Are you able to cope with the slow down? How does one succeed with minimal change? OR Are you able to increase the market share and grow year on year? Are you able to tap the hidden potential of your Brand / Product / Service? Level 2 – Sustenance & Growth
  • 62. We believe that Brand / Product / Service is the core and with changing economic, social and political scenarios it demands a change, which typically may not be an easy choice to make. The inertia to change is further aggravated when owners or promoters are deeply attached with the Brand / Product / Service   We provide this change to help the brand catapult and emerge out of the darkness by identifying factors responsible for deterioration and infuse new life or offer unmatched competitive advantage to the Brand / Product / Service through our Proprietary Design Innovation Processes Level 2 – Sustenance & Growth

  • 71. Not only is the priority of an investor to earn a certain level of ROI but also to maximize it at the time of exit. It is seen that even though the business has attained a certain envisioned growth and valuation in terms of market share there is a poor response at the time of Initial Public Offering (IPO). One of the main missing link is mindshare. We build mindshare. Level 3 – Maximize - Exit Level – Opportunity Analysis Presence Exposure Visibility Perception Increased Mindshare Increased Brand share
  • 72.
  • 73. Is Corporate Branding Key For IPO? When planning for a successful IPO, a distinct and powerful name with recognition is required. Just like how your latest technology and your other corporate assets are essential to develop great financials for a potential IPO, your corporate image and brand name recognition are equally important to get the word out in the marketplace. Both are critical for real success.
  • 74. Preparing for an IPO, Kenneth G. Pott, Principal, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter 2000 Analysts/Investors Approach to Valuation Risk attacks almost every aspect of the value chain Design helps every aspect of the value chain through research & innovation ensuring desired results
  • 75. Uniqueness and distinction Uniqueness and distinction makes a clear path of communication starting from your HQ all the way to the shareholders via the stock markets. A corporate brand with millions of dollars in advertising and promotional support is just a useless brand unless it has a unique position, and a clear name identity, strong enough to place the corporation aside from all the other copycats and look-alike, similarly named companies.
  • 76. The Best IPO Name It is absolutely critical to have a great name for the IPO. Very often, corporations convince themselves that they have the best corporate name. For any IPO planning, a clear and distinct powerful name is a prerequisite, and this process must be carried out well in advance of such an undertaking. Park the emotions outside the boardroom and ask some tough questions. How is the name structured and what messages are being emulated by this moniker?
  • 77. The Best Corporate Image It is absolutely critical to have a proper corporate image to fit your true corporate personality and as name issues are solved, this process only becomes a logical extension. Often corporations have their corporate image diametrically opposed to the subtle message of the name, which was initially supposed to be saying something else, is being read very differently by the market at large. This type of chaos in the communication messages what hurts the young IPO. The creation of an IPO is a fine art, so is the creation of corporate names and corporate image.
  • 78. The Best Delivery Of Message All is useless, without a clear and a distinct supporting message along with a system to reach the largest targeted audience. Today, cyber-branding plays a critical role, the perfect URL, the website and the navigation. The right content delivered at the right time and the right place to the correct person. Easy and simple.

  • 83. Patent Pending The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify : The larger issues involving server downtime and wire clutter, were identified by the Client, who sought redressal of those issues from an effective design solution. Our research and evaluation of the scenario revealed several potential smaller issues that could fail the product. We identified that disengaging the entire EXSW at one motion could save a lot of time. However, there were concerns of orienting or grouping jacks, entry of the cat-5 cables from the side- docking to the front, relay rack mounting, ability to see the side mounting and variation in the distance of the starting point of the jack row. The solution had to address these issues within the given rack dimension We also undertook research in terms of ideas and products that were already under patent, to avoid IPR conflicts. Integrate : Integration involved funneling the entire research into potential solutions. Design had to be integrated with the business strategy. Speed was the critical factor in the design innovation Innovate : The innovation lied in Product Concept & detailing, Mechanism Design and 3D evaluation. The design featured two-telescopic extensions that could be used with any standard make and model of switches. The device could be securely clamped with the relay racks. The clip-snap mechanism released all jacks at once, optimizing on time. The total number of wires were divided along both sides of the switch enabling better cable management. The innovation would reduce average loss of $250,000 per year per 100 employees for a banking, credit card or an online transactions company * Translate : Prototypes were developed to physically check the entire mechanism and further refining was done. We also undertook the IPR documentation for the product Maximize : The design enabled elimination of horizontal management trays Extended data Switch (* According to an independent study commissioned by LeCroy)

  • 91. The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify : Our research and evaluation of the product revealed several cost bottle necks that would eventually add to the cost of the product. The cost bottle necks were total no of parts, tool cost, production & assembly time. The solution had to address these issues within the given specified standards and specifications from the OEM. We also undertook IPR so that the client can potentially protect their product. Integrate : Integration involved funneling the entire research into potential solutions. Design had to be integrated with the overall production and assembly techniques at both ITW and Maruti’s production & assembly lines. Speed of assembly and total cost of product were the critical factors in the design innovation. Innovate : The innovation lied in Product concept & detailing, Mechanism Design and 3D evaluation. The design reduced the total no of complicate tooling components thus reducing per part cost. The mechanisms were designed to optimize assembly time. The total number of wires were divided along both sides of the switch enabling better cable management. The innovation was found to reduce 25% tool cost and around 15% overall cost of product for ITW. Not only did the cost go down but the over all margins improved Translate : Prototypes were developed to physically check the entire mechanism and further refining was done. Maximize : The design enabled elimination of lot of unnecessary parts. ITW also was preferred over other suppliers and has been awarded other cup holder projects ITW cup-holder

  • 94. The Process QR/LDPL/MKTG/01-03 Identify : Our evaluation of the existing product design & production technique that used was used was adding unnecessary cost to the product. The product looked inferior to competitors products thus reducing overall impact & value. The solution had to address these issues with understanding that the client was relatively new to the market and had lesser financial and manufacturing capabilities Integrate : Design had to be integrated with the overall production and assembly techniques at client’s vendors production & assembly lines Innovate : The innovation lied in Product design and process evaluation. The design enhanced the overall product image and enhanced perception. The new design can now be produced on a far cheaper composite material production technique thus reducing the total cost (which otherwise was Injection molding - investment of about Rs.8-10 lac with a MOQ promise is essential). A composite material mold and prototype for POC were made in as low as Rs.35,000/-. Batch production was made possible. Also, since builders are the major channels for these devices, a lot of mass cusomization was needed, was made possible through design intervention Translate : Prototypes were developed to physically test the product Maximize : The design enabled elimination of expensive manufacturing technique

(traditional touch points are retail & kitchen) Our research suggested that organic tea is perceived more as an experience than a mere beverage. Secondly, time spend with the brand/ pack is very less leading to low brand exposure and low consumer engagement. The pack is confined to kitchen & never makes it to the dining or living areas negating any possibility of brand visibility or exposure to other person or the guests.
