The Idea Vortex: We Know Why Innovation Gets Stalled

You are the executive responsible for the next generation of revenue, which means you live under the pressure of the unknown. We understand the agony of watching precious capital and time vanish on projects based on subjective assumptions. The silent fear is real: Is this new product solving a problem the market cares about? Are we investing millions only to discover a lack of Alignment or flawed Validation? That anxiety of betting the company's future on an unproven concept is immense. At Marq Neasman Consulting, we don't just see ideas; we see the unmitigated risk behind them. Our entire practice is built on eliminating that uncertainty, ensuring that every concept moves from Ideation to launch with irrefutable data from thorough Market Research.

Research

We conduct deep analysis to get a clear understanding of what people are doing, and what your customer's specific pain points are, fundamentally important because without quantifying the problem, you cannot justify the solution.

Recognition

We use metrics and data, not guesswork, to imagine a better world for your ideal customer, and strategically determine how your company can help them achieve it, crucial for ensuring innovation is both creative and commercially viable.

Refinement

We determine if your generated ideas align with the reality of the market through pilot testing, rapid prototyping, and concentrated customer groups, vital for mitigating risk before committing significant development capital.

Realization

We confirm whether you have the adequate People, Processes, Products, and Profitability factors required to successfully design, develop, and deliver the concept, paramount for ensuring organizational readiness and internal buy-in.

Eliminate Assumption Risk

Your fear of investing millions only to find the market doesn't care is valid. We eliminate this financial risk by ensuring all Ideation is immediately backed by robust Market Research, guaranteeing that your final product solves a proven, high-value customer problem.

We are able to do this because we are masters of product, project, and program management. We leverage a multitude of frameworks and strategies to best suite our client's needs. We are agnostic, and never confined to any methodology.
