"One of the very useful things about PA is the breadth of their capability, which is different from other organisations. There are very few things that we bring to PA and they say 'we can’t do that."

Driving innovative product development

PA Consulting Group helps clients with product development across a broad range of sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, communications and electronics, consumer products and transport.

Effective product development and commercialisation is a central driver of business growth. However, converting emerging technologies and new service models into viable, market-driven productsis not always an easy process.

Our practical knowledge of the product development process, from insight to implementation, delivers real benefits, whether the focus is on revenue growth from new products or differentiation from new services.

Recent client work includes helping Catapult/IXIA to develop an LTE Physical Layer for their advanced cellular test system in under 10 months and for a Californian venture company helping to design the mechanics, electronics and software for one of the world's most complex electro-mechanical medical devices.

Our Product development expertise encompasses:

Rational technology conversion: we help bridge the gap between emerging technologies and design implementation through feasibility assessment, proof-of-principle testing, concept generation and modelling – all tools that reduce risk while preparing for demanding and rapid development.
Selective new product development services: PA employs lean design and development processes to provide rapid, risk-reduced development of technically-complex products. These services are tailored to meet the particular requirements of products that need to meet stringent timelines, cost targets or regulatory requirements.
Compliant technical management: our understanding of the technical content behind complex projects means we can critically assess timelines, resource allocations, priorities and risks to ensure clients meet schedule, budget and compliance requirements.
Effective commercialisation: PA’s broad skills across different business units mean we bring a comprehensive approach to developing and assessing routes to market and to establishing a suitable supply chain.
Efficient transfer to manufacturing: our knowledge of manufacturing and quality processes helps companies make a seamless transition from the product development phase to high-volume, compliant, high-yield manufacturing.
