He looks at us, the team, whether we are doing well, but also looks at the mountains, for opportunities to make beautiful descents or just to avoid critical routes.<\/p>\n<p>He looks at the sky, pokes at the snow and considers whether there are limitations and risks.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the course is suddenly changed because he thinks the risk of avalanche or bad weather is too high.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you have to stop. Even though you&#8217;re almost there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">once worked with a team on a product for almost 2 years.

None of us are mountain experts. To reduce the chance of getting into an avalanche (or causing one), we hire a certified mountain guide. He\/she estimates for us what is \u201csafe\u201d. Between brackets, because there will always remain some risk. <\/p>\n<p>If we do encounter an avalanche, we have mitigation (control measures) in the form of a beeper. The pager helps to find someone with GPS if they have disappeared under a pack of snow.<\/p>\n<p>We also try to manage risks ourselves by starting the trip as fit as possible (training in advance). If we do get an injury and need help, the special insurance we took will cover it financially. <span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">Just in case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the case of <strong>medical device<\/strong> <strong>development<\/strong> the government has already enforced a mandatory risk assessment by requiring certification. You will not pass certification if the risks remain too high and there is no adequate mitigation. <br \/>In my opinion, with the current MDR we are going a bit too far and run the risk that no innovation will come onto the market within an acceptable period, but that is a completely different story.<\/p>\n<p>I once worked on a project where our client thought his medical device was close to certification. Unfortunately that was not the case. We were hired to develop additional features. We never got around to that. The product did not meet basic safety requirements. <\/p>\n<p>There was a considerable risk that the patient could be injured. We spent 7 months with 8 people making the product safe. A large part redesign, with continuous coordination about the remaining risks, how we could quickly tackle them and what mitigation was available.<br \/>To demonstrate this, we had to submit more than 600 new documents for the reassessment.<\/p>\n<p>So that was not only a product risk, but also a project risk: failure to comply with regulations. Ultimately, this led to having to stop the project. There were no longer any investors willing to provide a budget.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5b3bf8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b5b3bf8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/toerski-zwaar-weer.png\" title=\"toerski-zwaar-weer\" alt=\"toerski-zwaar-weer\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f30b52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7f30b52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Toerski-bochten-1024x765.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2347\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Toerski-bochten-1024x765.png 1024w, https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Toerski-bochten-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Toerski-bochten-768x574.png 768w, https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Toerski-bochten-1536x1148.png 1536w, https:\/\/technicole-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Toerski-bochten.png 1906w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbefe52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fbefe52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Plan, planning and phasing: this is the goal, this is what we are going to do to achieve it and these are the preconditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When planning the ski tour: we will go for 4 days at the end of March, with x budget and counting back &#8211; from December on we need to go to the gym to get in shape in for at least 4 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For example, in a project: aim is to launch at the end of March next year in a series of 100 units per year in the EU, comply with FDA and European regulations and we must be able to test in at least 3 hospitals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My job is then to calculate (together with the team) when we should have a first prototype, when we can have a surgeon practice on a steak with the new instrument, how much time we have to optimize the design and when it will be ready to use. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And in parallel, we are preparing production, depending on the phasing we agree on and the hurry we are in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the Corona vaccine: there was such a rush that a lot of things were done in parallel, which normally requires far too much risk and money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My job in a project is to make these kinds of things transparent.
