"We
brought Bob Becker in to help us get our hands around the scope and
risks for a large and complex prospective new product initiative. By
reaching out to market and technology experts spanning 3 continents,
Bob quickly identified: the critical path items; key opportunities and
decision areas; as well as mahor risks and recommended strategies for
dealing with them. This work provided us with an excellent baseline for
making some key business decisions, setting customer expectations and
moving this important project to the next phase of development."
Vincent Micheroni - Engineering Director of Field Devices Development, Invensys Process Systems
"When I hired Bob to lead the product development efforts at MicroTouch Systems, we were struggling to get high quality new products out on time. Bob quickly upgraded the team's effectiveness by making some key changes to the staff and improving project oversight. A key to success was focusing on improved planning, risk management, and QA on critical programs that were in progress. By quickly demonstrating improved results on these select programs, the team built credibility within months. Over the course a couple of years, the engineering culture went from one with low accountability and a best efforts approach to a culture of success, where people were highly motivated to meet customer commitments by delivering on-time, high quality new products. Bob's combination of people, business and technical savvy enabled him to successfully drive systemic change that produced excellent results. Based on my direct experience, I can unequivocally recommend Bob in a consulting capacity to lead product development capability assessment and improvement efforts."
Wes Davis - former President and CEO, MicroTouch Systems (now President and CEO, Sionex Corporation)
