Download or read book Strategic Planning and New Product Development written by Frank A. Tillman and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Strategic Planning and New Product Development , world-class decision support experts Frank A. Tillman and Deandra T. Cassone present a complete corporate strategic planning model for selecting new products: a model that can be used to systematically manage and evaluate business and/or new product opportunities from conception to commercialization. Tillman and Cassone's model captures input on goals and objectives from all levels of the organization, translates these goals and objectives into clear decision criteria, and generates metrics that can be used to measure the success of any decision. It tracks developmental progress of current and/or new business and product opportunities; helps companies eliminate unprofitable business sooner; brings discipline and consistency to evaluating each new opportunity, and generates a list of clear priorities. Tillman and Cassone go beyond "conceptualizing" this model, presenting actual sample computer screens and identifying every key data input, from financial impact and strategic alignment to probability of success. They also demonstrate how to use weighting to bring greater flexibility and agility to decision modeling. Along with offering exceptionally valuable guidance to product developers and corporate strategists, it also demonstrates the broader applicability of automated decision support systems and offers real-world insight for building models that address a wide spectrum of business challenges.

Download or read book Mastering Product Management Strategies Frameworks and Innovations for Success written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Product management is a multifaceted discipline that involves the strategic and tactical functions necessary to bring a product from conception to market and beyond. It bridges various domains, including engineering, design, marketing, sales, and customer support, ensuring that a product not only meets market needs but also aligns with the company's strategic goals. Key Aspects of Product Management Vision and Strategy: Vision: A product manager (PM) must develop a clear vision of what the product should achieve and how it fits into the company's overall mission. Strategy: This involves defining the product roadmap, setting long-term and short-term goals, and identifying key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success. Market Research and Customer Insights: Understanding the target market and customer needs is crucial. This involves conducting market research, competitor analysis, and gathering customer feedback to inform product decisions. Product Development: Idea Generation and Validation: Brainstorming new ideas and validating them through customer feedback and market analysis. Design and Prototyping: Working with designers and engineers to create prototypes and iterate based on user testing. Development and Testing: Overseeing the product development process, ensuring that the product is built according to specifications and is rigorously tested. Go-to-Market Strategy: Positioning and Messaging: Defining how the product should be positioned in the market and developing clear messaging that resonates with the target audience. Launch Planning: Coordinating with marketing, sales, and other teams to plan and execute a successful product launch. Lifecycle Management: Managing the product throughout its lifecycle, from initial launch to growth, maturity, and eventual decline. This includes making decisions about product updates, pricing, and discontinuation. Cross-Functional Leadership: A PM acts as a bridge between various departments, ensuring alignment and effective communication across the organization. They must lead without formal authority, relying on influence and persuasion. Metrics and Analytics: Tracking and analyzing product performance through metrics and analytics. This data-driven approach helps PMs make informed decisions and iterate on the product. The Role of a Product Manager A product manager is often described as the "CEO of the product," though this analogy can be misleading. Unlike a CEO, a PM does not have direct control over most resources and must lead through influence and collaboration. Key responsibilities of a PM include: Defining the product vision and strategy. Gathering and prioritizing product and customer requirements. Working closely with engineering, sales, marketing, and support to ensure revenue and customer satisfaction goals are met. Ensuring that the product supports the company's overall strategy and goals. Skills Required for Product Management Successful product managers possess a blend of skills: Strategic Thinking: Ability to see the big picture and set long-term goals. Analytical Skills: Proficiency in data analysis to make informed decisions. Communication and Leadership: Strong interpersonal skills to lead cross-functional teams. Technical Knowledge: Understanding of the technical aspects of product development. Customer Focus: Deep empathy for customers and the ability to translate their needs into product features. Conclusion Product management is a dynamic and challenging field that requires a combination of strategic vision, technical acumen, and strong leadership skills. By understanding market needs and aligning them with company goals, product managers play a crucial role in driving the success of their products and, ultimately, the organization. Audience The audience for "Mastering Product Management: Strategies, Frameworks, and Innovations for Success" would typically include: Product Managers: Professionals responsible for overseeing the development, launch, and lifecycle management of products or services within organizations.

Download or read book Scenario based Strategic Planning written by Burkhard Schwenker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world characterized by increasing complexity and volatility, managers must be able to flexibly adapt their strategies to changing environmental conditions. Traditional strategic management frameworks often fail in this context. Therefore, we present "scenario-based strategic planning" as a framework for strategic management in an uncertain world. Previous approaches to scenario planning were complex and focused on the long term, but the approach developed by Roland Berger and the Center for Strategy and Scenario Planning at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management is different. By designing appropriate tools and integrating scenario planning into strategic planning, we have made our approach less complex and easier for firms to apply. We illustrate the approach with examples from different industries.

Download or read book Managing the Dynamics of New Product Development Processes written by Arie Karniel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing the Dynamics of New-Product Development Processes merges product-based planning, process modelling, process execution, probabilistic simulations, and simulation based decision-making into one framework called the Dynamic new-Product Development Process. It provides readers with a means of improving the management of product development through enhanced methods and tools that are specifically tailored to the characteristics and challenges of such processes. It calls for a new Product Lifecycle Management paradigm of utilizing the managed product data for management of the product's development process. Within the framework, the methods used are enhanced or modified to fit the new-product development process requirements. Each specific method is exhaustively analyzed, from the basic definition of terms through a description of the state of the art of that topic and its limitations. Then, the method enhancements are illustrated by many examples, and discussed while suggesting further research directions. Finally, the enhanced methods are integrated and demonstrated by a test case. The main two methods described are the design structure matrix (DSM) and Petri nets, which are merged into a novel concept entitled DSM nets. Managing the Dynamics of New Product Development Processes provides algorithms, proofs, and practical examples that can be used for general study of the issues concerned. The main concepts presented are applicable to systems engineering and can be used by practitioners of product development processes, such as designers, product managers, and process managers, as well as developers of process management tools for systems with dynamically changing process structures.
