This book is based on my first-hand, been-there-done-that experiences. Many people have many great ideas. They just don't act on them. You can do it differently. I worked in the aerospace industry at Cape Canaveral, Florida, for 21 years. Wearing identification badges had always been a part of my working wardrobe. A large aerospace company handed out a lapel pin for a promotion in the spring of 1995. Just by chance, I pinned my company identification badge to the lapel pin. An idea for a better way to wear my identification badge came to me. For several days, I made many drawings and came up with the idea to place a "bar" at the bottom of a lapel pin to accommodate the common bulldog metal clip on identification badges. This enabled me to make badge holders with custom logos for companies or associations and to create many fun designs that would make wearing badges more personal and enjoyable. This was the start of my journey. This book is intended to streamline your own process of taking a product from an idea to reality. Potentially it will expedite the process of putting money into your pocket. I started with my computer and only $500.00. Originally, I had enough rejection letters to wallpaper my home office. Most of the people and companies that rejected me then call me now. To date, we have sold over 3-million CLIPEZE badge holders. They have been sold in over 1,100 uniform stores and 20 catalogs around the world. I believe that anyone can do what I did with his or her own product. Gary R.

Teams developing a software product for the first time can draw on a wealth of free and readily available resources to come up to speed, learn best practices, and get their minimum viable product (MVP) to market very quickly. Not so for teams working with hardware. The design, development and prototyping process takes longer, and is more costly than its software counterpart. Depending on the complexity of the product, iterations culminating in new physical prototypes can be measured in weeks or months, not days. User testing needs to be tightly planned and coordinated with the prototyping schedule. Business model testing is much harder than software products due to regulatory compliance requirements. There is also much less available information to help new teams navigate these unfamiliar waters and plan for success. This book levels the playing field for hardware teams by providing a concise and practical roadmap that helps teams navigate the path to bring a hardware product from concept to production. Teams will be able to accelerate product development by building knowledge in the following areas: Understand the steps to bring a hardware product with integrated software components to market Get practical tips on how to execute each step while saving time and money Use primary market research to ensure the right product is built for the right customers Manage the transition to manufacturing and operations to produce a quality product Build a high performing cross-functional team to speed time to market Author's note - March, 2020: The world moves at a very rapid pace. The global picture for product development, manufacturing and supply chain management has changed substantially since this book was first published. While the general principles and best practices for hardware development have not changed, hardware innovators now have a vast array of new options that were not available in the past. Examples include the rise of the maker movement and the subsequent widespread availability of makerspaces for rapid prototyping, the rise of Shenzhen as a hub for rapid prototyping for consumer electronics, and the impact of geopolitical and global healthcare trends and events on supply chain management. We encourage you to use this book as the first step in your journey to learn all about new and exciting options as you navigate the process from idea to product launch.
