Dear reader, let me share with you a conversation I had with the Chief Engineer Digitization & Software Development of a large company that produces complex electronic devices with many software elements in and around them.

Innovation is essential throughout the entire new product development (NPD) process, but nowhere is it more key than it is in the Fuzzy Front End (FFE) stage. FFE is the starting point of NPD and is where new product ideas are generated before entering the formal development process.

The software ideas are of course almost infinitely scalable, while consulting is somewhat scalable. Now, of course, consulting is shifting its business model, looking for revenue streams outside of the billable hour because the model is no longer deemed scalable.

For example, one of the biggest idea killers is the inability for many companies to take really good ideas and get them prioritized in the existing product development process. Solution Development - You've got to figure out how good ideas are going to get converted into new products or solutions.

About 70% of people said, “Of course we should include values in our model. And of course, in B2B, if it’s not a commodity, then nobody knows it. For example, the engines are inside the wheels! Values are critical to any kind of work that one is going to do with innovation and design.” Do you think so? You can estimate it.

How can design thinking help with product development? There are several ways to learn design thinking, including: Taking a course: Many universities and colleges offer courses on design thinking, either as part of a design or engineering program or as a standalone course. How can I learn design thinking?

This is also a diverse team, and without all of those skills on the team - working in some harmony - the project would fail.

The likelihood of that happening is, of course, dependent on your definition of innovation. Original: Horizon 1 describes the work necessary to protect and extend existing revenue sources that can be done in the near term, as a regular course of doing business.
