About Us

---

The Dr. S Lobo Consulting Services is about empowering your organisation with contemporary skills and knowledge to meet the challenge of a disrupted world.

Drawing on the latest systems the Innovation Management Assessment Framework (IMAF) can be applied both immediately and effectively to manage commercialisation of your innovations. It is a state-of-the-art Innovation Management toolkit integrated with Design for Lean Six Sigma (DFLSS) methodology (Lobo, S. and Samaranayake, P., 2020, An innovation management assessment framework. Benchmarking: An International Journal, Vol. 27, No. 5, pp. 1633-1656).  

The program will be delivered through a focused workshop environment—complete with interactive lectures, group exercises, dynamic simulations and individualized mentoring on real, problematic data sets and projects combined with ongoing support to innovation teams through consultancy. The tool kit would provide practical easy-to-use manuals, templates, exercises and statistical analysis methods using Minitab, Excel software and Microsoft Projects.

The objective of the Innovation Management tool kit is to provide a planning guide for new product development that will maximise the probability of meeting the business objectives for any new product development initiative. The toolkit is intended to train and guide innovation practitioners.
