| About me: | Michael Iva, President / Creative Director of Qually & Company, Inc. and QuContent (Chicago), an internationally renowned New Product Launch Specialist, Designer, Writer, Anti-Propagandist, Marketing Expert, Part Time College Professor, Lecturer, Entrepreneur, Businessman, Philosopher, Poet, and Catch & Release Fisherman, who has helped to successfully position, reposition, or launch 128 new products and services and issues (more than any other 'individual' practitioner in the U.S.A.) into many different market places; generating countless billions in profitable sales for major corporations around the world.Iva either generates new proprietary product concepts for QuContent, OR launches and sells the new product concepts of others through Qually & Company.He operates in a world of things that are either: new, improved, unique, different, and/or better; things that act like a catalyst for change, which most people are not familiar with.When it comes to successful new product development and introductions Iva mentions, "There are no maps, just guides.™" If there were maps for success, every new product or service launch would be a success... well they're NOT. Eight out of 10 new ventures fail immediately. Of the two that survive, one will fail in the next three years. So the moral of the story is, if you do not know where you need to go, many paths will take you there'; unless you are shown the way by a guide who has been there before. Iva is that guide.Iva is to new product development and launches what Obstetricians and Pediatricians are to prenatal and postnatal care of babies. New humans require the same specialized attention in the early stages of their life span, before and after their birth; that their new products and services also require."I believe when it comes to new product development and launches one should always remember that the rung of a ladder was never meant to be rested upon, but only to hold a person's foot long enough to enable them to put the other foot somewhat higher. So hold on to the 'old' just as long as it is good and grab the 'new' just as soon as it is better." ~ Michael Iva ~ALONG THE WAY:- Iva has won over 600 awards for creativity in the areas of design, art direction, copywriting, creative direction, broadcast production, from his industry and peers.- Iva holds 4 US patents on his own new proprietary products.- Iva was voted one of the TOP 100 creative people currently working in the U.S. advertising and marketing business, by Adweek magazine.- His creative work is internationally recognized, and has been published in 154 books, textbooks, book forwards, or trade magazines around the world.- His work is part of the permanent collection of the Chicago Historical Society.. . . Words to the wise:1. Have Iva help you with your next new product launch, or assist you with your product or service positioning, re-positioning, re-purposing, or line extension needs.2. Have Iva give a teleconference, video conference, or live seminar to help your people become more creative and then understand how to sell their ideas easier so as to increase their batting average and your bottom line.

100 Ways to Kill a Concept: Why Most Ideas Get Shot Down™
Posted on October 16, 2007 |
Fear rules, when fear allows fear to rule. What is stupid, is not knowing that fear is public enemy #1 to all people, in any country, throughout time. Some form of fear is responsible for most problems people have or will ever face. Certain feudal leaders get away with more command and control over their masses because they know this, and the many who are controlled by these few do not understand that COURAGE IS THE ANTIDOTE TO FEAR. Find the courage, get creative, gain wisdom, and figure out how to persuade fear to do your bidding… or continue to live in fear. Understand the importance of creativity and concepts and how to make them happen: 1. Everything in the world that is man-made owes its existence to the concept it started out as. 2. Concepts: predict, program, and determine your reality and even your future. 3. Concepts are your window to the world. 4. Concepts are where all creativity, innovation, progress, products, services, profits, and freedom come from. Know that concepts do not sell themselves. In one way or another, subtly or blatantly, in some way, shape, or form; ‘everything has to be sold first… BEFORE it is purchased.’ It takes ‘effective persuasion’ to transl...
