Rapid Prototyping NZ: Lockheed’s Speed Play

Lockheed Martin now builds prototypes fast. You can too.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Most Kiwi firms move too slow. They spend months on ideas.

Joe’s Cafe in Auckland spent six months on an app. It failed. They lost $40k.

What This Means

Your rivals move fast. You move slow. They win.

It’s like a race. You’re on foot. They’re in cars.

Key Point: Build fast. Test fast. Fix fast. Win fast.

Why Kiwis Should Care

Auckland firms need speed. Wellington firms need speed too.

Speed saves cash. Speed brings cash. It’s that simple.

The Fix

Copy Lockheed’s play. They test ideas in days. Not months.

Power Apps lets you do this. It’s cheap. It’s fast.

What To Do Now

  1. Pick One Pain – Find one big problem your firm has.
  2. Sketch Fast – Draw the fix on paper in one hour.
  3. Build MVP – Make a basic app version in Power Apps.
  4. Test Quick – Let five staff try it this week.

Real NZ Results

Smith’s Meats in Wellington built a stock app. They built it in three days. It saved them $20k.

Pro Tip: Start with one small fix. Don’t try to fix everything.

Common Questions

How much does Power Apps cost?

It’s $20 per user each month. That’s less than lunch.

Do I need to code?

No code needed. It’s drag and drop. Anyone can do it.
