This is what it wrote: -

In the realm of commerce and trade,
Where goods and services are made,
There lies a crucial task at hand,
For firms that seek to take a stand.

The task of product management,
Is vital for success attainment,
For it ensures that what is sold,
Is of value and worth to behold.

From ideation to creation,
To launch and customer reception,
Product management keeps in view,
The needs and wants of customers too.

A good product manager will know,
How to make products that will glow,
With features that are innovative,
And quality that's superlative.

They'll do the research, make a plan,
And oversee the product's lifespan,
From market analysis to testing,
Their work is never resting.

For firms that offer services too,
Product management is important to do,
For they must be able to provide,
Value that customers can't deny.

A good service manager will know,
How to keep customers in the flow,
With experiences that are seamless,
And solutions that are priceless.

So let us not forget the role,
Of product management as a whole,
For it's the key to business success,
And customer satisfaction, nothing less.

Product Management is like… healthcare is to your family!
Managing Declining Products is like … Geriatrics for senior patients.

Declining products must be managed carefully. Monitoring sales, setting timelines for their retirement. This is a critical time, loyal customers can be easily angered and lost.

Longevity extension options beckon: less developed markets? New sectors? Repurposing?
Integration with other services/products? Partnering? Franchising? Repackage to different market segments?

Ultimately stock levels must be run down, and resources occupied gainfully elsewhere in the organisation. Celebrate the Product's/ Service's long life and contribution, but let it go, so new ones can thrive.

Lantern Davis can help with your Product Management, either on specific projects or training and mentoring your own teams.

Product Management is like… healthcare for your family!
Managing Mature Products is like … physiotherapy for middle aged patients.

Mature products are the 'cash cows' of Product Portfolios, so keep them going!

Tweaking things, occasional minor issues, while focussing on maximising product profitability, reducing costs, maintaining quality. Feature bloat? SMOI?

Prevent apathy, keep the bread winner healthy!

Lantern Davis can help with your Product Management, either on specific projects or training and mentoring your own teams.

Product Management is like… healthcare is to your family!
Managing Product Growth is equivalent to … sports team medicine.
And can be as painful!

New services & products need much attention. How are customers reacting and what do they really think now? How are competitors responding? Other stakeholders? Changes to market environment? And so much more.

The unexpected will always occur. Great Product Management coordinates resolutions. Design or procedure mods? Additional training? New features? Additional Sales Team tools?

A plethora of activities, planned & emergency, are necessary to maximise profit contribution and market share and avoid a visit to business A&E!

Lantern Davis can help with your Product Management, either on specific projects or training and mentoring your own teams.

Product Management in businesses is like… medicine is to your family!
Product Launch is equivalent to … delivering a baby!
Launching a product or service can feel as intense at times.

Product Management makes sure all departments are ready and all systems set up. Processes? Procedures? Internal training? Initial customers? Product 'Bible'? Tech Manuals? User Guides? Packaging? Stock control? Trial sites? Sales strategy and tools? PR and other Promotional activity and events? Distribution? Certification? Tech Support? And lots more!

It's well proven that few firms practice even rudimentary good Product Management.
Launch failures are publicly & internally very damaging.
Watching 'Call the Midwife' doesn't make anyone an obstetrician.

Lantern Davis can help with your Product Management, either on specific projects or training and mentoring your own teams.

Product Management is to your business's services and products… like medicine is to your family!
New Service/ Product Development is like Antenatal Care.

Product Management receives the go ahead from senior management to start the project.
Like pregnancy, it's 'all go' now!

Finalising the Requirement Specification, getting a Tech Spec back, Project Plan, Quality Plan, prioritising features, forming a Development Team (and keeping them on track), UX Plan, UX Panel, Compliance Plan, Development Strategy, DFMEA and PFMEA, Prototyping, Supply Chain Planning, DVPR, Manuals and Infrastructure and Promotional Plan. And keeping the Project on time and budget! Just to mention a few essentials.
But getting this right now, can save a fortune later… A stitch in time really does save nine!

Lantern Davis can help with your Product Management, either on specific projects or training and mentoring your own teams.

Product Management is to your business's services and products… like medicine is to families!
New product initiation is like good family planning.

A salesperson says "we need a new service/product!".
Good Product Management finds out if the reasons are valid, if the business can deliver and support it and if the timing is appropriate.
Dysfunctional firms often develop poor products for the wrong markets, hoping that it will sort out their internal problems, leading to failure in the market and even collapse of the business.
The Product Managers have to decide on the equivalent of monitoring fertility cycles, IVF, fostering, adoption or even contraception.

Lantern Davis Limited can't help with family planning! But we CAN help with your Product Management, either on specific projects or training and mentoring your own teams.

Product Management is to your services and products like ... medicine is to families!

Every stage of a product and service offering's lifecycle needs thought, nurturing, and sometimes A&E.

We can help with managing this process or training your teams to do so.

Meet Nick Hudleston, our founder.
Nick has spent his whole life in engineering, across many industries.
Coming from a long line of Swiss engineers and scientists he has engineering DNA, and has been fascinated by all things STEM since a small boy.
This was the driver for setting up Lantern Davis Limited, to be more involved in supporting Britain's wonderful heritage of engineering and associated trades.
Nick started as a test lab technician, thence a design engineer, and has covered every role in product management since, including at international level, as well as dedicating over a decade to technical business development and marketing, at a senior level.
Regardless of the industry or trade, Nick will therefore certainly be on your wavelength.
He thrives on the big strategic issues of product and service management and setting up processes and systems, as well as the tactical minutiae of analysis, research and drafting your documentation.
Nick is adept at investigating product issues for manufacturers and clients alike. And despite his engineering bent, he also has decades of experience centre stage as a presenter and trainer.
He is never happier than when helping others, whether individuals or businesses, and is always keen to share his knowledge gleaned from his extensive experience and education.
Nick says "Ultimately, almost everything in a business is Product or Service Management, and Product and Service Management is what we do at Lantern Davis".
