The product development newsletters |
|---|---|---|---|
| - some samples of mistakes and remedies: where others have been! | |||
| If you have, in the past, shown interest in how firms improve their product development, you may be interested to peruse our occasional newsletters. If you’d like to receive them regularly, e-mail me at PDNewsletter@Mynott.com. | |||
| Nearing retirement, I’ve spent most of my working life working for, or running, manufacturers that develop their own products (and some experience of those that don’t). With colleague managers, I’ve made an extensive study of how the best (i.e. most profitable) companies develop their products (more than 70, world wide). If you’re interested to develop your products more successfully, or develop ones that generate better sales, you may be interested in some shared experience, which I’m pleased to pass on. | |||
| We’re talking here about the end-to-end business process of developing a product, not just techniques that can help the design process - that’s only a part of it, albeit a vital one. It’s about the business process, from setting out product strategy (which few companies have), to whether it’s worth spending money on your potential project, to devising a sound business plan, through detail design and development, to production handover. In other words, how you plan and run the whole process. | |||
