Nimble Retreat from a Recent Business Miscalculation

At the very end of December, 2009 I posted an article on this site. To summarize the basic gist:

"While we will continue our work in the area of ground-breaking musical instrument (Adventurous Muse) and high-performance rowing craft designs, we will also be renewing our emphasis on being a full-service multi-disciplinary design research and product design firm."

This Was a Mistake!

I will be the first to admit when I was apparently wrong...well sometimes anyway.

The business climate for product design consulting is getting worse! At the same time, prospects for the musical instrument initiatives of Don Rickert Research & Design seem more promising. Don't know when we are going aggressively enter the high-performance rowing craft and other adventure product arena; they will remain on hold while we do everything possible to capitalize on the positive signs in the musical instrument business.

The reasons for this turn of economic events are a bit murky. Once I have a good well-informed theory, I will let you know.

Bottom line:

Postings on this site will deal more with a musical instrument businesses than the consulting business. We will try our best to keep the material on this blog unique from the the numerous daily postings on our Adventurous Muse blog. There will only be cross-postings when the topic justifies such.

For the most part, this site will deal with new developments; whereas Adventurous Muse will continue to focus on information, education and musical instruments that we are actually selling via the Adventurous Muse Store.

End Note:

Potential clients for our new product design consulting business should NOT expect discounted rates or free demonstration projects.

One last thing:

Our sincere empathy for all of the great small design firms that have had to throw in the towel or have been taken over by their venture capital investors owing to lack of work. A good reason to generally avoid venture capital, but that is another topic.
