TruNorth Consulting believes that excellent results come when everyone on a product team contributes to the "fresh thinking that benefits customers." In innovative product teams, every contributor, from engineering and operations, to sales and marketing, brings some part of the overall strategy to the table.

To ensure excellent results from its project deliverables, TruNorth Consulting captures this strategy into a single framework that integrates marketing information across the different functions. The framework is architected around the five principles of a compelling and achievable strategy: 1) a huge market, 2) a complete solution to a tough problem or problem set, 3) an unfair advantage, 4) a business model that pays, and 5) an ability to execute.

Information is captured during the interviews and background research required for production of marketing deliverables. With each project, the relevant strategic information of the business comes into greater focus. Newer projects take less time and overall business results benefit from the continuity.

All project deliverables from the family of Strategic Product Team™ Services are built from this foundation. This approach helps unify product teams around a directed strategy, which leads to more consistent success of new products. Invariably, this new product success drives greater returns on innovation investment.
