Product Opportunity Mapping 

While developing new products - physical, virtual or a service - is critical to a company’s long-term success, the majority of new product development efforts fail. Product Opportunity Mapping was designed as a framework to help plan and guide the new product development process and how to best identify, evaluate and select new business opportunities.

The framework is targeted towards companies who are spinning out new products that are not core to their current operations as well as for those who are struggling with the new product development process or want to train their teams on practical ways to turn innovation into something more concrete.

Product Opportunity Mapping is offered through facilitated group or one-on-one sessions and focuses on Product Strategy and Product Definition. Sessions are led by Bruce Alton of A-Partners Ventures Inc. who has over 30 years of startup, operating and investment experience in several different industry sectors.
