Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft Instructions
Include the following in your Group Discussion Board Forum:
1. A report with the final Marketing Plan that includes the three previous drafts, attached as an MS Word file. In addition, this final MP must include the following sections:
· Marketing Programs & Financial Projections.
You should review pp. 54–55 of the text for examples of the key issues that should be discussed within these sections of the MP. You will need a comprehensive marketing program, which includes a discussion of: the Product Strategy, the Pricing Strategy, the Promotion Strategy and the Distribution (channels) Strategy.
The last section on Financial Projections should show a 5-year projection of expected revenues. In addition, you should present some type of idea when BE (break-even) will take place. Companies that introduce new products generally do not make a profit in “year 1” because of the high development and marketing costs required to test and launch the product. Obtaining costs will be difficult, but you should try to estimate costs.
· Executive Summary (ES)
Finally, once the MP is written, you will need to write the Executive Summary. The ES is written last but is placed right after the Table of Contents. You will want the reader to see the ES first. if they like it, they may read on. If it does not excite the reader, the MP will likely be discounted. The ES should contain only the most important findings, conclusions, and recommendations contained within your plan.
· The Table of Contents
The Table of Contents contains a list of the major sections of your marketing plan with the names of the group members that participated in the actual writing of each section. This will allow the instructor to evaluate each member’s contribution to the overall group project.
· Appendices
The only Appendix required is a reference list. Keep in mind that data and key information may need citations, but will surely require a reference list. A plan with no references will be considered marginal since information sources add considerable credibility to the ideas in your plan.
Your Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.

loss of market share in the wearable industry. To tackle this, the CEO
motivated the organization's project management team to research the
wearable market and develop current clients with something refreshing and
new and expand on the existing client base by speaking to new segment
populaces that the project team might not have tapped. The project
management team was tasked with developing a plan that would drive the
disruption of the wearable market in Cosmo, Inc favor.
This forceful arrangement will be meant to test the team; however,
cooperating as a successful and effective organization, we can and will
succeed (Kerzner, 2017). We are using Agile, Lean, and Scrum project tools to
help us fill in as viably and productively as possible to create one of the most
fantastic wearable results of the year. This plan will likewise situate Cosmo,
Inc to benefit from changing regulatory guidelines to open the health
wearable market to organizations like Cosmo, Inc.
Business Need
Due to recent discoveries made by Cosmo, Inc during a deep dive market
analytics project, a market shift that will cause a downturn in Cosmo, Inc's
revenue stream will occur as competition for this market share increases. To
combat the potential revenue loss Cosmo, Inc. has decided to put together a
marketing project that will stabilize the current market share and increase the
use of company products and services over new untapped populations and
demographics. Cosmo, Inc must keep innovating to grow its market share and
develop new exciting products and services.
Project Objectives
• Complete a strategic marketing program that will grow our customer
base by 20% over the next six months.
• Add a heart rate sensor and develop heart rate monitoring into our
Cosmo wearable app.
• Increase production of our wearable items by 25%
• Leverage social media and the IoT to make our products and services
compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and another trending
home AI's.
• Turn our customer service department into a technology service
department.
• Champion neutrality laws in technology now and in the future while
using best practices that meet or exceed current regulations.
Approach
The Agile program management process will be used. SCRUM will also be
employed to keep a team running with the most effective and efficient
productivity and development (Heerkens, 2018). Agile and SCRUM together
create the accountability, productivity flow with SCRUM helping move
development forward quickly (Davis, 2018). Effective and efficient forward
movement is needed to keep the project deliverables and marketing plans
moving to a deployed that is one time and produces the most significant
impact and thus benefit Cosmo, Inc.
Assumptions:
• The addition of new features in our wearable and corresponding
tracking app will boost sales.

Dear Friends,
Just five years ago our team of three was cramped
in our first office in a grey Victorian house off of
University Avenue in Palo Alto. We were drowning
in design work and prototypes and struggling to
increase the impact of our products while remaining
financially sustainable. This year we launched our
second product to market, Brilliance Pro, and have
invested hours with far-flung partners who will help
us deliver the ReMotion Knee to amputees all over
the world.
We are moving into 2015 positioned for growth. We have narrowed our organizational focus to
work exclusively on products that improve health, and by the end of the year we will have four
products on the market. With a strong track record of not just designing—but also delivering via
the market—products to patients who need them most, we are thinking about our next projects.
In the coming year we will refine and define what research and development means to D-Rev.
We celebrate our successes in scaling current projects, while being mindful about how our
challenges will inform future product development.
At D-Rev we value curiosity, fearlessness, and pragmatism in our approach to problem solving.
And we believe our accomplishments and lessons learned in 2014 will change the way healthcare
is delivered.
In 2014:
• D-Rev’s products entered 10 new countries, scaling organically via the market
• Brilliance Classic sales grew 70% year-over-year, scaling faster than we had ever anticipated
(with major kudos to our partner Phoenix Medical Systems)
• We discontinued our work on Comet, but it better informed other work that we believe will
lead to greater impact (see more in our newborn health section!)
• We launched our impact dashboards making our impact, data, assumptions, and calculations
public and transparent
This progress would not be possible without you, our supporters, partners, families, and friends
who have allowed us to create and scale our impact. We are so very grateful. Because of you we
have made meaningful progress to close the gap for those who previously have been unable to
access existing healthcare—making world-class a global standard.
Thank you,
Krista Donaldson

Overview
D-Rev’s Newborn Health project aims to
provide world-class, affordable phototherapy
devices to treat the millions of newborns at risk
for adverse effects of severe jaundice, like brain
damage or death.
By the end of 2014, D-Rev’s Brilliance devices have cumulatively treated over 47,000
babies, with almost 35,000 of those in 2014 alone. Brilliance has saved over 600
babies, over 450 in 2014, from disability or death as a result of one of the most
common newborn conditions, newborn jaundice.
In 2015 it is our goal to accelerate sales of
Brilliance Classic and Brilliance Pro, particularly
in high need regions of India. We will do this
by supporting business development activities
and working on the ground with our sales and
distribution partners.

Lesson Learned
When we set out to make Brilliance Pro we strove to make
a high-performance, affordable device that incorporated
additional features that clinicians were demanding.
Along the way we improved the look and feel of the
device as well—a sleeker profile, a clearer display, and a
more convenient tilting mechanism. It turned out these
aesthetic improvements had a profound impact on how
the product was perceived.
Doctors seeing Brilliance Pro at launch events in India
wanted to own a device that worked well and looked
good. Expectations of customers in every market are
rising. Product designers must account for aesthetic
alongside other core functionality when designing for
low-resource markets.

will accelerate our impact.
Brilliance Pro offers a streamlined design, improved design for manufacturability,
and patent-pending SmartTilt technology to ensure effective treatment when used
with other equipment in the NICU. In addition to these features, Brilliance Pro can
include the Brilliance Pro Light Meter—an optional accessory that enables clinicians
to verify effective treatment—the first time such a device has been available to
clinicians at an affordable price. Reflecting D-Rev’s commitment to exceeding
user-expectations in its designs, Brilliance Pro won Best in Show at NEOCON

Brilliance Pro Light Meter
A tool for doctors & nurses to measure
the wavelength of light from Brilliance,
ensuring effective treatment.
GOAL RELEASE | 2014
ACTUAL RELEASE | 2015
LESSON LEARNED | Doctors and nurses use light meters to ensure
phototherapy treatment is being delivered effectively. Because of their
exorbitant cost light meters are uncommon in India and other low-
resource regions. While the Brilliance Pro Light Meter is an accessory
product used exclusively with the Brilliance Pro phototherapy unit,
product development and manufacturing of the device required a
substantial amount of learning and iterating. D-Rev needed to ensure
it had extensive skill and knowledge to produce a high quality product,
including purchasing additional equipment and validating design
specifications through third-party testing.

Comet
Rural phototherapy treatment for babies
far from urban referral centers.
GOAL RELEASE | 2014
ACTUAL RELEASE | Discontinued
LESSON LEARNED | After field testing in three countries, we
concluded that introducing phototherapy to rural clinics and
hospitals will not have measurable impact and could, in fact, have
negative consequences.
Most rural clinics did not keep babies overnight, or did not have the
capacity for inpatient care. Phototherapy requires uninterrupted
treatment for 2-4 days. Also, we observed that comorbidities were
often present, requiring additional treatment for other very serious
issues like hypothermia, and phototherapy wouldn’t be successful
without additional devices like warmers.
Comet was not a failure. In design, everything is information for
the next iteration. User testing for Comet focused our attention
on areas to improve upon in the distribution and supply chain of
Brilliance.

Even more affordable treatment for

GOAL RELEASE | 2016
LESSON LEARNED | Our theory of change for Comet was that
expanding access of effective phototherapy to rural clinics was the
most sizable way for us to grow our impact. As part of our field
testing of Comet we learned that barriers exist to distribution and
scaling outside of India that have little to do with product features
or differing user needs. Transportation cost is a not insignificant
component of overall cost and we believe by thinking smarter about
the overall design of the product we can have significant impact on
end-pricing, making the product more accessible to high need parts
of the world.

Overview
D-Rev’s Mobility project aims to equalize
access to high quality mobility devices.
We’re incredibly proud of the work that has been done by the ReMotion Knee
team this year. We completed field trials of the ReMotion Knee in four clinical
sites in Guatemala, India, and Indonesia, allowing us to finalize the design and
begin working with a contract manufacturer to mass produce the product. This
is a critical milestone in the history of the ReMotion Knee. As a result of years of
work the ReMotion Knee will finally be available for public sale in 2015, and as
forecasted the retail price will remain at or below $80 USD.
D-Rev will focus exclusively on launching the
ReMotion Knee in India, followed soon by two
additional high-need countries.

Lesson Learned
Continuously remind partners that all feedback is
good feedback. One of our most valuable partners,
a clinic in Indonesia, was hesitant to report back
on ReMotion problems during field tests. It took
the D-Rev team some time to convince them that
it was the most valuable information they could
provide and, when delivered, their detailed notes
and observations turned out to be crucial in the
development of the ReMotion Knee. Without
their honesty we would have missed key learning
opportunities in the product’s development.

Overview
D-Rev’s impact assessment aims to
understand the results and effectiveness of
our products, as well as inform our future
product development.
In 2014, we worked constantly to integrate impact assessment cross-functionally,
and earlier across all our teams. We now approach impact with a “first in, last out”
mentality—considering impact at the inception of a product and measuring long
after D-Rev engineering activities cease.
This year D-Rev will launch long-term impact
assessment for the ReMotion Knee, increase
the amount of data collected on Brilliance,
and initiate third-party evaluations of both
products. In addition, it is a priority to establish
organization-wide impact assessment,
especially as we evaluate new projects and
areas for growth at D-Rev.

Impact 27
Lesson Learned
When estimating impact we differentiate between
the sales and installation or fitting of a device, and
only report impact from devices we know are in
use. In 2014 we learned that there are particularly
challenging aspects to gathering data about devices
sold outside of India.
By the end of 2014 over 1,200 Brilliance devices
had been sold to over 20 countries. We only
reported confirmed installations of 777 devices
installed in nine countries. We estimate our impact
may be as much as 25% higher than what we
publicly report for Brilliance.
While we are working actively in 2015 to address
these challenges, we remain committed to full
transparency and consistency in our reporting, only
publishing impact numbers for devices we know are
in use and treating patients.
15. Impact Dashboards
The pursuit of ever greater impact inspires our
work and pushes us to continually improve
our methods for collecting, analyzing, and
reporting not just the direct impact of our
products, but also our indirect impact on the
industries in which we operate.
We are driven by the notion that everyone deserves good design and our work
will be done when under-served populations around the world have access to the
healthcare they need whether by our products or not.

Social impact drives everything we do at D-Rev. In order to know that we are making the impact we intend, we
strive to measure not just the number of products we sell, but how many people actually use and benefit from the
product, and how we can do better. Tracking impact isn’t cheap, but it’s essential to keeping us focused on our
goals, accountable to our donors and users, and constantly learning how to do better.
What drives our impact assessment?
A commitment to transparency, accountability, and learning.

Overview
D-Rev’s approach to R&D continues to evolve.
As we grow; we aim to formalize and refine
our process for selecting projects so that we
maximize the future impact of the organization.
LESSON LEARNED | Involve manufacturing partners early and often in the design
process. Doing so saves on re-work and increases the likelihood of getting a high-
quality product to market in a timely fashion. While this seems like common sense
to many of us, there is often an inclination to go to manufacturers with a finished or
nearly finished design.
In the upcoming year, D-Rev will establish a new
group to manage R&D processes and tools, and
new project selection. We will build a foundation
for D-Rev’s growth in the coming years—and
will soon select D-Rev’s next project.
