Knowledge-Driven Product Development
Executives are often excited about Lean Product Development because of the bottom-line results this approach has been shown to deliver (up to 4 x R&D productivity, 70% schedule reduction, etc.) With industry leaders like Wipro using Lean, and a recent McKinsey whitepaper recommending it to CIOs, Lean is now becoming more mainstream.
While improvements in speed, customer satisfaction, and cost savings are well-documented, the real power of Lean Development stems from the way leaders are able to mobilize people for faster learning and innovation. In this in-depth session, we will discuss powerful Lean practices that help executives focus their people more on results-oriented innovation and less on just following a process. We will then show how this knowledge-driven approach results in better products and processes.
Audience:
This session is aimed at a Director and VP-level audience in organizations with several development teams.
You will learn about:
- Setting clear, quantifiable, and testable goals for products and processes
- How to avoid costly start-up delays for new projects
- Going beyond processes: three other dimensions of R&D success
- Set-Based Concurrent Engineering: doing more work in parallel with less risk
- How to structure specs and information for faster decision-making
- Setting up collaborative workspaces for faster problem-solving
- Removing barriers between functional silos
- Capturing and documenting crucial Engineering know-how
- Accelerating learning for teams and individuals
- Leadership traits that help/hurt innovation and learning
- How to put your organization on a path of continuous improvement
