Top Tips to Improve NPD Performance
- Make Decisions at Gates – The big-ticket gate is the one that leads to development, which is the stage carrying the biggest and riskiest spend commitment prior to launch. To manage all of that you need a good, pragmatic approach to the business case, with increasing rigour as project progress.
- Objective Fact-Based decisions –Get objective facts and information from cross functional teams to contribute to the business case. Technical, commercial, financial, marketing, resource… and more. That’s quite a process to manage, and there is always scope to improve.
- Engage Gatekeepers Fully – Assign the right gatekeepers (relevance, knowledge, motivation) and get them the right information at the right time. You need effective information collection, quality gate deliverables and governance, with just the right level of mandatory content.
