I’m not sure we are getting maximum value for our innovation investments. Our revenue growth from new products is below expectations. We haven’t had a big, very successful new product for some time now. Our innovation program budget is not sufficient for the objectives it must achieve. We are in gridlock –our projects are behind schedule and over budget. We cannot display a prioritized list of projects to allocate resources effectively. I want our product innovation program to support our business strategy. We want to improve our new product process so it is lean and productive. Our development process is not integrated with our portfolio and strategy processes.

What is your challenge? Let us help you. Leverage our unique specialization in the critical four drivers of new product performance – the Innovation Diamond.

The Roman Meal Company aspires to be a global leader in whole grain foods. 
To achieve our vision it is imperative that we lead in whole grain thought and product innovation and to achieve this we looked at Stage-Gate Inc. to help us out.

Roman Meal has developed disciplined new product processes for projects with different levels of risk and time requirements. 

Working closely with our Stage-Gate Consultant has allowed Stage-Gate® to become integrated into the way we think and work with each other at all levels of the organization.  The results are thrilling!  The teamwork and employee satisfaction generated through the successful introduction of four new product lines in eighteen months offer real proof that the Stage-Gate Process is working for us here at Roman Meal Company. Our version of the Stage-Gate Process is at the heart of our innovation effort.
