Consulting · R&D transformation
When development is too slow, too expensive or too unpredictable.
Structured R&D transformation, from rapid diagnosis to implementation. We bring your product development process, your project and portfolio governance and your organisation up to performance, tailored and compliant with ISO and ASPICE.

- −70%staff turnover
Familiar gaps
Grown organically, never governed.
Most mid-sized engineering companies run R&D processes that grew organically: without a consistent governance model, without clear metrics and without a structured way of handling complexity. The result is missed deadlines, budget overruns, quality problems in the field and burned-out teams.
The methods and tools are rarely the real problem. It is usually the people, and the way work is organised around them. So we work on both: the processes, and the people who live with the change.
The solution
Four levers, one goal.
Our goal is time to money: shortening the time from the first idea to the first product sold. That lowers costs, brings the return on investment forward and makes sure you build products your customers actually want.
PMT: project, programme and portfolio management
Clear ownership, structured planning and reliable delivery. Processes, methods and tools according to ISO, ASPICE and other quality frameworks that reduce waste.
Systems engineering
Disciplined requirements, interfaces, validation and verification. That removes rework and field defects at the root.
Operating model
Roles, responsibilities, metrics and governance across all R&D sites and departments.
Leadership and organisation
Raise motivation, reduce turnover, build a performance culture. Changes only hold if your people own them.

Frequently asked questions
What managing directors want to know first.
How quickly will we see results?
The quick check takes five days and delivers a prioritised plan. From problem to measurable result, we plan for around 90 days.
Do you work in line with standards?
Yes, always inside the norms and quality standards that systems engineering and software development demand, such as ISO 9001, ISO 26262, ISO 13485 and ASPICE.
Do we need new software for this?
Not necessarily. Where tools help, we also use our own software by FORGE, but only if it fits your workflows. We don't sell software that doesn't fit.
Who works on our project?
Christian Doisl runs every project, assures quality and takes on the parts where his experience is needed himself. Our back office and a network of specialised partners join for specific tasks. That way every task gets the right expertise.
Where does your development lose time, money or quality?
We will find out together in the free intro call. 90 minutes, no obligation.
