CardCount!

For Innovation Portfolio Design

Higher Probabilistic Value. Innovation is about “placing your bets” well to increase Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and keep low risk. We can usually increase IRR on your portfolio by 15% or more, meaning greater customer happiness also!
Decreased time to market launch. We’ll show you how you can gracefully archive some of your projects, and open up resources that will not only decrease your time from idea to market launch, but increase your IRR! CardCount! integrates into Stage Gate processes, easing some key challenges.
Greater peace of mind. You’ll have far fewer frantic finishes to your projects to meet deadlines. You’ll have better peace of mind about measurable progress.
Increased prestige. Your company will grow in prestige in the eyes of your customers, and YOU will gain respect and promotion as leadership watches you achieve what was once thought to be impossible.
Guarantee. We promise a big increase in Probabilistic Value for you. We want our clients to be willing to jump into shark-infested waters to work with us! So try us and test it, and if you don't love it, we refund 100%. Boom!
Fee. Our fee will be a small percentage of your gain in Probabilistic Value, which in turn we hope will be large so that our joint work is win-win.

Parameters. We have developed a practical yet rigorous framework for Technical-Commercial Communications. It relies on just a few parameters that the Technical and Commercial functions can use to cut through the noise an communicate with less bias and greater rationality.
Analysis. We analyze dozens, 100s, even 1000s of projects at once to find how to allocate your precious resources among all your projects for a global optimum. We anticipate that your total IRR on your innovation portfolio will increase by 15% or more, with lower risk.
Interpretation. Your process will have nuances and hard-to-quantify (yet) pieces, and we’ll learn and help apply these concepts to your unique innovation portfolio design challenges.
Never-Empty pipeline. We guide companies in how to keep projects at various stages of maturity, to maintain a “full pipeline” of innovation projects in the portfolio, from seed projects to ready-to-launch. There are often other customizations (e.g., strategy or key customers) that you might want to include in the analysis.
