Portfolio Analysis
& ‑Optimization

A pro­duct port­fo­lio is never finis­hed. Mar­kets and peo­p­le chan­ge — and with them the needs that pro­ducts have to ful­fill. Based on mar­ket data, expert inter­views and cus­to­mer sur­veys, we sup­port you in put­ting your port­fo­lio back on the road to suc­cess. We also help you to make your inter­nal port­fo­lio manage­ment more cus­to­mer-cen­tric in the long term.

  • 360° ana­ly­sis of your port­fo­lio (mar­ket data, inter­views, derivation)
  • IP scan: ana­ly­sis of com­pe­ti­tor patent appli­ca­ti­ons for the tar­get segment
  • Advice and sup­port for cus­to­mer-cen­tric port­fo­lio streamlining
  • Sup­port in the cus­to­mer-cen­tric opti­miza­ti­on of your inter­nal port­fo­lio manage­ment processes

We help you to sys­te­ma­ti­cal­ly deve­lop solu­ti­ons that meet the requi­re­ments of your tar­get groups bet­ter than the com­pe­ti­ti­on.
