Make your 
Stage-Gate®-process 
work again.

One quarter. Two teams. Measurable results.

Many have a product
development
process - but no impact.

Your Stage-Gate exists, runs, but doesn't deliver what it should?

  • Endless discussions instead of clear priorities.

  • Teams working side-by-side instead of together.

  • The process follows the form – but not the function.

We make your Stage-Gate® work again.

We don’t put Stage‑Gate® on slides – we make it come alive. For over 20 years, we have been combining methodical and change competencies. Our work shows results — like with Kistler:

five has brought us a huge step forward with its collaborative approach! The process is now widely accepted, and the Gate meetings are conducted factually and professionally. The team approach has gained significant weight.

When Stage-Gate stops being a process - and becomes behavior.

  • The pilot projects show what is possible: Stage-Gate provides (once again) orientation, clarity, and speed – because the teams live it.

  • Gatekeepers lead with evidence – and Stage-Gate becomes a real management tool.
