TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

​Problem-solving
A white product that prematurely turns yellow, a multilayer composite that falls apart, a light guide that doesn’t guide light, a process to make a clear plastic that yields hazy materials, a polymerization that doesn’t work — These are just a small sample of the technical problems that we at In∙no∙v8 chem have encountered and solved. Let us help you solve your technical problems too.

Failure analysis
Product failures can be costly, embarrassing, and even dangerous. Whether you are the material supplier, converter, or user of the failed part, an important step to preventing future failures is to understand the cause of the failure so that the right corrective actions may be taken. At In∙no∙v8 chem, we have experience in analysing product failures including loss of adhesion, polymer degradation, color change, crazing, fracture, and others. What product failure analysis can we help you with?

Project planning
Preparing good project plans is not easy or obvious. At In∙no∙v8 chem we have analysed several projects that were stalled after 5 to even 10 years of research, and by redefining the approach and the plan, had the projects ready for commercialization in just months. Let In∙no∙v8 chem apply its decades of R&D and business experience to help your team build and execute a strong project plan for one or all of your programs.

Product development
Having participated in the development and commercialization of dozens of polymer, plastic, and adhesive new products having cumulative sales of several billion dollars, the process of developing and commercializing new products is at the core of the In∙no∙v8 chem experience. Let’s talk to identify how In∙no∙v8 chem can help you to improve your new product development initiative.

Product scale-up
Companies often spend copious amounts of time to develop a new product, but fail when the product can not be manufactured at the industrial scale.  Let In∙no∙v8 chem work with your team to ensure that the raw material, equipment, process, and packaging issues don’t become a roadblock for your critical projects.

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP

Start-up plans
Having a novel technical idea and reducing it to practice is a great start for anyone looking to launch a new product or technology. However, the idea will never leave the lab if it’s not followed with solid information and plans around market opportunity, scale-up, and commercialization. In∙no∙v8 chem will use its experience taking many ideas from the lab to full industrial scale to help build a strong plan for your start-up or launch.

Strategy development
If you try to be everything to everyone, the most likely outcome is mediocracy (or worse). Strategy means making decisions regarding what kind of company you will be, what you will do, and very importantly, what you will not do. In∙no∙v8 chem will help you define the right strategy, taking into account where you are today, where you would like to be in the future, and what resources you have available, all while considering the external environment. With your strategy defined, you will have better clarity on key decisions to move your business forward. Every company operates under a strategy, and if you do not define it, your customers and competitors will define it for you. ​

Commercialization plans
When developing and launching a new product or technology, start-ups and established companies share a surprisingly low success rate. In∙no∙v8 chem can bring decades of experience of creating strong development and commercialization plans to help your team build a successful scale-up and launch.

Project management
Simple projects don’t need much management, you can complete them with a back-of-the-napkin plan. Real-world projects aren’t so neat and tidy. With any multi-step development process, you need to identify and resolve issues on the critical path, coordinate multiple functions, have a strong project plan with a method to follow it, and determine a way to adapt the process to inevitable surprises. Let In∙no∙v8 chem apply its decades of R&D and business experience to help your team build and execute a strong project management plan for one or all of your programs.

Portfolio management
​​​If you only have one or two projects, you probably don’t need to use portfolio management to run them. But when you have 10, 50, or  >100 projects, portfolio management becomes critical to your success. Portfolio management is not an equation to calculate a single score for each of your projects. It is not a set of 50 bubble charts that will lull people to sleep. It is a comprehensive analysis matching the set of projects that you work on to the goals and strategy of the business.  In∙no∙v8 chem uses its history of regional and global portfolio analysis in the chemical industry to help you optimize your portfolio and  improve your results.
