Back-ground |
A global business that was shifted under a new Business Unit had no baseline for their innovation-to-launch processes.
|
|
|
Challenges |
- “The new BU lacks contemporary business processes that permit the productivity needed to achieve its long-term goals.”
- “Projects recreate launch plans from scratch.”
- “The division requires contemporary governance and decision points.”
- “Interdependencies and integration points are not clear.”
|
|
|
Solution |
An innovation-to-launch framework was created from the bottom-up, decision and milestone gates were identified, and templates and tools were devised for planning and reporting.
|
|
|
Result |
The global team was equipped to better support their operational and revenue goals within the new organization.
“Thanks to [FRS’s] effort, my team created a highly effective end-to-end innovation process that reduced product development cycle time from 40 months to 18 months!” -VP, Marketing & Innovation
