Product Genesis Presenting at the 16th Annual Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference

Product Genesis, the premier Strategic Innovation consulting firm, today announced that Charles Brunner, Director at Product Genesis, will present on "Improving the Odds of Success: Innovation and Growth through the Identification of Market Driven Opportunities" at the 16th Annual Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference sponsored by the American Journal of Health Promotion, March 20- 23, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference is titled: Creating Opportunities for Innovation and Growth.

According to the American Journal of Health Promotion, "if health promotion programs can produce significant improvements in health, be delivered in a cost effective manner, and produce clear financial returns, they will become an integral and permanent part of most large workplaces and be funded with budgets two to three times current levels. If we can refine our ability to serve people working for small employers, members of health clubs and other community organizations, children and older adults, as well as people with chronic diseases, the populations we reach will grow more than ten fold. If we can communicate these successes to the US Congress and state legislatures through advocacy efforts, health promotion will become an integral part of national policy. If we fail to do any of these things, we will miss a huge opportunity."

Case Study: Value Genesis: Information Management Program Adds Value to Medical Systems

  

Strategic Innovators are often presented with seemingly difficult innovation challenges. For example, a leading medical device company in the ENT (ear, nose, throat) and Thoracic Surgery and Imaging fields recognized a need to expand the display, reporting and sharing of patient information collected by the client's existing product. The expressed market needs cut across many stakeholders in the established product base.

The mission would replace a program already in use by the client's customers; the new program needed to be easy to install, configure and learn to use. Voice-of-the-Customer (VOC) interviews were conducted to fill in gaps in the understanding the key stakeholders needs. From the analysis of the customer input map and the VOC interviews, a set of program goals was adopted that would guide the technical development of the software.

The end result of the Value Genesis process was the successful development of a software program that exceeded the client's business requirements, by satisfying end-user and stakeholder needs.
