At ABM we utilize three simple principals to
make our clients more successful:
Process Simplicity =
Rapid Understanding
Lateral Technology Transfer = Confident Speed
Specific Technical and Business Experience = Quick Decisions
Process Simplicity = Rapid Understanding.
Ideation, Development and Commercialization - We’ve all
heard it before and seen a hundred different ways to get it done,
virtually everyone of them complex and requiring a intensive training
to learn and binders as thick as a Guide to Windows manual. The
question is, who making the money, you or the consultants? At
ABM there are no thick binders, no 20 days of training. Rather,
we simply, systematically, cooperatively with you, develop unique
to you development processes and then products that make money
based upon existing technical competencies. Our simple Living
Product Development Process is meant to be a basis only for developing
a process unique to your company and it’s culture. With
Technology Market Mapping, we also change the way products and
markets are viewed starting first with Technologies, then Benefits,
not Products.
Lateral Technology Transfer = Confident Speed.
ABM Associates focuses on direct learning by teaching new, simple
concepts through the actual development of a real opportunity
of strategic importance to a client now. Resources – time,
people and money - are limited, period. We work immediately on
developing skills through actual work on strategic ideation, market
focused product development, and launch first commercialization.
It’s a lot like Lego’s – it’s how you
put the pieces together. Our simple, adaptable Living Product
Development Process focuses on the lateral transfer of already
reduced to practice concepts from seemingly unrelated industries
where the core development requirements – the barriers to
real success and commercial practice – have already been
inherently solved by someone else for whom the feature and resultant
overt benefit are critical. With our help, we provide the tool
sets to help you quickly identify the Critical Lynch Pins to success
and who has already solved them.
Specific Technical and Business Experience = Quick Decisions.
We focus only on manufactured products where materials, processing
and manufacturing technologies play a critical role in delivering
a feature to provide an overt benefit. Our Expert Network of over
30 people have both strategic, senior level, profit-loss business
experience coupled with an in-depth, get your hands dirty, degreed
expertise in some aspect of materials, processing and manufacturing.
Few others can combine both pure, in depth scientific product
development and practical manufacturing expertise, let alone business
experience, in such a small, nimble firm.

areas of expertise
