Next-Gen Product Development
Those looking to launch new products face complex challenges. Requirements from business, technology, and customers must be integrated and continuously validated to keep project risks manageable. Strategic frameworks and interests of stakeholders or partners additionally restrict development scope. Nevertheless, the team must be able to remain creative and offer convincing solutions within the organization.
Data and data-driven decisions form the backbone of successful product development. High-quality data is crucial for making informed decisions and precisely defining challenges that require creative solutions. Through numerous projects, we've observed that data quality often presents the greatest process challenge, typically remaining hidden until serious project issues emerge.
In product development, as with all challenges, three key factors determine success:
Analysis quality
Options quality
Decision process
These factors determine decision accuracy, reveal risks, and enable systematic risk minimization in product development. We developed the R3 data-driven consulting framework specifically to address these challenges.
