Why product development research?
Manufacturers in the construction, installation and DIY industries are constantly contemplating whether their product and service portfolios are still competitive within the market. This is necessary in order to keep up with competition and with continuous developments in the market, like digitalisation, sustainability, circularity and the changing labour market. In order to stay on target and become or remain successful, there are 3 types of development trajectories for which solid research is essential.
1. New products & services
In this fast-changing and innovative world, there is continuous need and room for new introductions. However, these introductions are often unsuccessful, which also applies to the installation, construction, and DIY sectors. Our product development research will help you succeed where others fail.
2. Additions to already existing products & services
Although current portfolios may have proven themselves to be successful, changing circumstances (internal or external) can easily lead to changing demand, making it necessary to add to the existing portfolio.
3. Modifications to already existing products & services
Our changing world creates situations where products & services become outdated and are in need of revitalisation. Then modifications are essential to keep customers satisfied.
Product development
A European manufacturer of garden paving required support for their development of an innovative new tile. The project objective was to understand and define which developments in the product segment would have the greatest impact on customers with a focus on quality, scratch resistance, cost, overall appeal, easiness of laying, etc..
