Product Development

Market leaders outperform their competitors with up to 30% faster time-to-market and 35% lower development and product costs through efficient synchronization of their functions at key milestones all along the development.

Product Development best practices are driving continuous improvement for time to market and product cost optimization, while leveraging emerging fundamental trends to shape tomorrow’s markets and long term success. Product Development differs from other operations practices as its performance indirectly affects the long term company position, by:

• Integrating market data and users’ evolution of needs into the design
• Developing new knowledge & technology while maintaining an agile worldwide footprint and ecosystem
• Creating proficiency in complex system design
• Supporting clients’ business model evolutions

Services design and disruptive innovations from other industries eventually impact top line competitiveness. These emerging trends are so numerous that they act as genuine game changers!

Now this new era calls for a tremendous and key challenge:

• Do things right: Developing both soft and hard skills for Engineering teams fosters creativity and efficiency, but requires targeted waves of focused effort to achieve cross-functional team work, cost reduction targets, and reconciliation of initiatives to the P&L.
• Do the right things: Integrating fundamental trends into products and organizations ignites future competitiveness and the transformation journey. Such initiatives are achievable only with true cultural mindset change, significant effort, and intelligent coordination to avoid getting lost in complexity!
