Sustainable Development

What needs to be done is clear... it has been delineated by many concerned individuals.

	We know what should be done… and we know why it must be done but…the question remains HOW?
	*How* is NOT a process for bringing innovative ideas to reality; we know how to do that.

The real how is...“How do we develop the best possible strategies” that…

	Are matched to our organization and its evolution.
	Are based on our existing core competencies.
	Define how we will need to grow and expand our core competencies.
	Deliver Sustainable Development based on what is best for the world.
	Maintain and improve our competitive position in the marketplace.
	Are economically justified.
	Support growth and profitability.

Sustainable Development and Competitive Opportunity Management^TM

The "Fuzzy Front-End" of product or process development is a systemic plague across many domains that cost organizations billions of dollars. Its definition as fuzzy (vague, unclear or blurry) tells the story of how most organizations start the development process.

Competitive Opportunity Management^TM provides AIA’s clients with the ability to leverage management skills with the new knowledge of market dynamics and how competition emerges in order to improve their company’s position in the market and value chain – sustainable and/or disruptive.

This new capability is based on the development of explicit knowledge of strategic opportunities that will occur in a given market. Competitive Opportunity Management^TM serves as a “Rock-Solid” Front-End Innovation Process by replacing the “Fuzzy Front-End" of Product and Process Development. It is a process that integrates with existing strategic planning, competitive intelligence, marketing, R&D and engineering processes.

Innovation Roadmaps matching new product and service offerings with these changes in demand results in higher acceptance of innovations by consumers; hence, these changes in consumer demand represent new strategic opportunities.

The knowledge is delivered as a set of detailed functional descriptions (conceptual models) that represent the sequential changes in consumer demand. Organized in the form of easy-to-comprehend “maps” that depict sequential changes, this knowledge comprises the next complete market paradigm shift.

Maps represent a comprehensive set of strategic (breakthrough) opportunities that will arise in the given market or market niche.

Competitive Opportunity Management^TM is a comprehensive process that consists of over 100 steps structured in a Phase Gate format for step-by-step integration and implementation.
