Who We’ve Helped and How

We have helped many organizations in this area including BMC, Brother, Helen of Troy, Newell, Mozilla and Roche.  Below are two strategy case studies for Mozilla and Roche.

Mozilla “Venture Board”

We worked with the CPO (Chief Product Officer) to fulfill his vision to create an internal innovation organization including an operating budget, dedicated teams, and a strategic imperative.  We created an internal “venture board”, set the strategy, audited 20 programs, and selected and staffed three new product ventures which have enabled Mozilla to enter a new secure infrastructure category.

Roche “Strategic Decisions”

TCGen worked in the diagnostics business with the senior leadership team to define a process to help fund, prioritize, select, and fund the strategic roadmap.  We stood up the strategy, got geographic alignment, and designed the strategic decision making process.  The net results were better and faster decisions by the leadership team to guide the strategy and allocate investments.

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:
