Who We Have Helped and How

We specialize in large companies with complex workflows and have worked in numerous industries, including Biomedical devices and B2B Enterprise SaaS. See our client logos and industry listings pages for a more complete overview.

TCGen designed and implemented the Apple New Product Process (ANPP), a process used throughout Apple’s product divisions that enabled them to scale rapidly, enabling a startup culture to flourish. The process is used in all divisions.

We worked with general management marketing and engineering to understand gaps in product management and how to fill them. Management increased funding to the product management team and increased the number of dedicated resources, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and predictability.

How We Differ from Other Approaches

Organizations struggling to accelerate product development often consider us relative to other options that may include hiring, working with strategy consultants (McKinsey or Bain), bringing in an external development team to lead a single project, or leading the effort entirely internally. These are all reasonable options, though we think we bring some distinct advantages:

Proven Methodologies

Our book provides pragmatic graphical tools for practitioners to learn the craft of product development and apply its concepts simply and effectively.

Experienced Consultants

Our team of experts brings extensive industry experience to tackle your unique development challenges.

Neutral Third Party

We offer customized solutions to meet your specific needs and solve your unique problems. Culture.

Fast Starting

Hiring can take a long time. We can start usually within a week or two from an initial consultation.

Capability Building

We help you get there but with our experience in training and coaching we also raise your organizational capability (rather than just doing it for you).

I highly recommend TCGen to leaders looking to drive significant transformation in a tech company. TCGen blends quick assessment of the situation, with a highly personable approach and some clear and actionable recommendations.
