Innovation & Design

TMCG’s innovation and design capabilities focus on innovating at the product and/or service levels. We engage in the innovation journey from ideation through the transition into profitable products and/or services that have significant commercial potential and meet identified market needs. TMCG helps organizations that want to stay competitive in today’s rapidly changing global business environment. Our innovation and design capabilities aid organizations develop new products, services, and processes that meet the needs of their customers and give them a competitive edge. The key elements that are essential for building strong innovation and design capabilities within an organization include but are not limited to the following:

1. Creativity: The ability to generate new and original ideas. Encouraging a culture of creativity within the organization is key to fostering innovation.
2. Collaboration: Innovation often requires the input and ideas of people from different departments and disciplines. Encouraging collaboration and cross-functional teamwork can facilitate the exchange of ideas and the development of new products and services.
3. Customer focus: Understanding the needs and desires of customers is essential for developing products and services that meet their needs. Organizations should prioritize customer research and gathering customer feedback to inform their innovation efforts.
4. Experimentation: Innovation often involves taking risks and trying new things. Organizations must create a culture where it’s okay to experiment and take calculated risks in pursuing innovation.
5. Continuous learning: Innovative organizations must be willing to learn and adapt continuously. That can involve investing in employee training and development and keeping up with industry trends and best practices.
6. Design thinking: This process involves understanding the needs and wants of users, generating/developing and testing ideas, prototyping, and iterating on those ideas. Design thinking can be valuable for organizations looking to create innovative products and services.

    What We Do The core of TMCG’s innovation and design strategy defines and answers critical questions about a company’s decision to focus on introducing radically new products/technologies or a steady stream of incremental ones. It also dictates which problems should be solved, whether a diverse portfolio of unrelated innovation projects is beneficial, or should a firm focus its innovation projects on its core/chosen innovation field(s). We are a strategic resource to organizations and play critical roles in applying engineering principles and techniques to analyze the problem(s), gathering and evaluating information, developing, and testing ideas and prototypes, and ultimately creating a final design that meets the desired specifications and requirements.
