  My research complimented my business role in validation method development, presenting a case study of a resource sensitive approach to failure mode characterisation in new product development. The generalised problem-solving method presented in the thesis presents a simple model for product engineering, with a focus on meaningful planning and reflection as one enabler for firms moving towards Virtual Product Engineering. The specific case study presented the Delphi Method for expert elicitation, and Design of Experiments, emphasising the role of structured experimentation in product development. The Doctorate also included postgraduate level taught elements from the engineering faculty of the University of Bristol, and the school of management at the University of Bath.
