Kickstart - New Product-Business Risk Management Strategy Program

Build a Strong Foundation for Product Success

This program is designed for new product-businesses. Those not yet delivering products at scale but looking to build a solid foundation for future success. Bringing a new product to market comes with unique challenges, especially when you're starting from scratch. Unlike established businesses that can leverage past experience, new product businesses need a solid starting point to identify risks, navigate regulations, and set up for long-term excellence.

This program helps you:

• Understand your product's risk profile, even before manufacturing and distribution are in place.
• Identify product classification across different markets to avoid compliance surprises.
• Navigate product regulatory requirements for each of your target regions, ensuring smooth market entry.

For New Zealand businesses, this is an eligible cost under the New to R&D Grant "Regulatory and Compliance Capability".

Starting from NZD 1,785 + GST* (final cost depends on product complexity and target markets).

Next Level (bronze) - The Smart Risk-Playbook Group Program**

A structured program following the five-step framework from the book, adapted into an actionable strategy for your business.

This small group program (maximum 8 participants) is designed for established businesses, those already delivering products and looking to refine, strengthen, and future-proof their approach to product risk management. If your business has a history of bringing products to market, this program will help you take your product risk management strategy to the next level, ensuring it evolves alongside your business and market demands.
