Business Development

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Product Development

In relation to product development or portfolio expansion (i.e. adding/sourcing ancillary products), the product manager/team is often directed to add a solution that is outside the expertise of the organization, even if a tangential or a frequently used component of the system.

The task, which first requires ideation and then execution, becomes even more daunting. This is especially true when the knowledge resources are limited within the confines of the existing organization, even if you include resources from suppliers or partners.

Product Testing & 3RD – Party Linsting

The market is fiercely competitive, so product listings and certifications help to defend your position in the marketplace. Take the stress out of this daunting task by allowing CORSA to guide you through the process. Offload the management of these third party organizations to our team, which has built strong relationships with them over the years. CORSA can help simplify the process and alert you to the potential pitfalls that lead to longer timelines and unnecessary spending.

Ensure that your product or marketing program launches on time, because the testing or certificate is in hand when it is supposed to be. Allow CORSA to simplify this process and allow you to keep your focus on the whole project.

Why CORSA

CORSA approaches the project by expanding the resources to allow for the possibility of reaching the goal faster, and, thus, a lower investment, while championing the people that have brought the continued success. The product manager/team typically needs more knowledge and/or resources to clear a path to their goal. The product manager/team needs to feel in control and supported, not incapable, or worse, replaceable. Furthermore, there has to be confidence that the IP remains protected, internal resources are properly utilized, and that the greater organization is respected and integrated. For example, core internal partners, such R&D, Engineering, and Manufacturing, should not feel denigrated, incompetent, or threatened. There are reasons that the organization has has found success, so by emphasizing what works while providing access to resources unavailable internally, the product manager/team should achieve the goal faster while gaining the necessary support from all departments.

To accomplish this goal, CORSA builds a team, as needed, of experts that would fit the project. Offering extensive external resources with in-depth experience is of great value to the customer trying to realize an idea. These experts may also provide valuable savings (and time is money) by minimizing the number of wrong paths taken.

Additionally, CORSA looks for opportunities for customers to utilize additional capacity or repurpose their production waste into sellable goods to create non-linear growth with extensive value for minimal additional cost. Often, this simply means exploring new markets outside their reach to deliver goods within their core capabilities, whether redefined, modified, or simply reenvisioned for another application.

CORSA Approach

My approach is hands-on versus consultative only. The approach is to enhance and expand the efforts of the client’s team (even if only one person) to support the project. The emphasis is to increase the in-house knowledge and resources to provide more access for the team to accomplish their goal. Furthermore, I construct a team of verified experts to tackle the specific aspects of the project. Rather than slowly making your own trail with a machete, I bulldoze a path to a viable road.

Most consultants are facilitating the conversation, however, CORSA is hands-on. The service provided is a combination of bringing knowledge lacking within the organization and giving an opportunity to outsource tasks.

The Difference

Extensive knowledge of the process
Wide network coupled with in-depth knowledge of these companies
High level of service
Trust
Referrals
Knowledge of product group (waterproofing, membranes and tapes)
Previous relationship

How? That is The Real Question

You have probably found your way to several pages like this hoping for the company to explain how only to receive a lot of What and Why. Here’s the how:

CORSA expands your resources, instantly.

As a manager, you want to provide your team with enough resources to foster growth and ease implementation of new ideas and strategies. Resources can be farmed internally, though this takes time to build a significant knowledge center.

Additionally, it is difficult to access a full level of resources at your disposal when competitors are included into the mix. Gaining the trust and comfort to include a potential competitor to help grow your business takes confidence and finesse. This is far easier to achieve when the information gathering can be handled by an independent and trusted third party. CORSA can navigate these difficult situations to ensure that the necessary resources are secured without exposing critical information key to the effort.

CORSA offers a comparative advantage, instantly.

Your team has limited resources. There are only so many people available for the given number of projects and priorities. In many cases, your projects have been assigned to a single individual responsible for the product line, marketing, or research and development activities. This is daunting for a single individual. This approach definitely reduces the number of projects that can be simultaneously tackled. It also puts undue stress on an employee that is likely to be your star performer historically.

CORSA Expands

CORSA expands the number of hands ready to help carry the load. By building a team of experts to support and supplement the skillset, knowledge base, and activity level of your star performer. This permits them to focus on their strengths and core capabilities by delegating tasks that will simply require too much time. The goal is to complete the task rather than be recognized as the person responsible for doing the work.

The alternative to contracting a team from CORSA is to hire new employees. Aveteran with the knowledge set missing from your organization will have a much shorter ramp up, but will demand a high pay rate. A candidate earlier in their career will have the enthusiasm and desire to learn for a much lower pay rate, however, the ramp up will likely take a few years. This also presupposes that you have someone to mentor this individual and keep on the right path. If you are adding this person to support your star performer, will this add to the overall success or take from the available resources, the most important being time. Will there be long term projects able to justify the hiring of this individual, whether a qualified veteran or enthusiastic learner? Will the next idea or challenge be within their capabilities? CORSA can redefine the team for any project to provide the experience and knowhow needed to achieve the desired goal.
