How to decrease time-to-market while ensuring new products resonate
The benefits of infusing Voice of Customer insights into product innovation are clear, but how do you make the transition from ideation into new product development? A dynamic gated process organizes the new product development into a series of activities (phases) and decision points (gates). And automating that process greatly improves cross-functional alignment and accountability, inevitably increasing speed-to-market. See how, if executed correctly, gated decision-making can reduce risk and create funnels not tunnels, challenge status quo processes that need to evolve to be more adaptable and infuse “agile” processes into innovation planning.
