Modular Methods offers services ranging from a single day consultation to ongoing strategic development.  All are customized to the client.  A sample of our services is presented below.

Single day strategic assessments.  Of particular value to new Modular Methods customers are single day assessments. Modular instrumentation isn’t a match for all vendors or users, and certainly not for all segments. Our single day assessments bring focus and insight while prioritizing the top opportunities for modular instrumentation within the customer’s domain.

Multi-day management workshops focused on strategic alignment and execution.  A two or three day management workshop is specifically designed for those customers who are making a strategic shift to modular.  It focuses on making critical strategic choices and aligning for execution throughout the entire value chain. 

Architectural Review and Consulting.  Modular instrumentation can bring speed, size and flexibility benefits.  However, many adopters make strategic mistakes that prevent their new products or systems from reaching their best potentials.  Simple decisions can have hidden ramifications, even impacting its open system nature. Modular Methods can review the architecture for a new product, product family, or system to allow it to achieve its best potential with maximum internal and external leverage.  For large adopters of modular instrumentation, Modular Methods can help author and review specifications for new deployments. 

Mergers and Acquisitions.  The test and measurement industry is in a period of consolidation. The dynamic nature of the transition to modular instrumentation makes mergers and acquisitions an important option for vendors and system integrators.  Larry Desjardin, founder of Modular Methods, is experienced in acquisitions and divestitures, and can consult or manage a key M&A activity.

Speaking Engagements.  Modular Methods is known as the premier independent authority on the modular instrumentation industry. Larry Desjardin is available to give an honest independent appraisal of the industry or a particular aspect, whether as a kick off or to add context to a particular discussion. Public venues include customer events, trade association meetings, and panel discussions, while internal events may include Board of Directors meetings, Management Summits, or Sales Training. Larry Desjardin’s broad knowledge of business allows presentations that are simultaneously insightful and entertaining.
