+ Executive Summary)
Product: a
Broad Definition
According to Phillip Kotler, a
product is anything that can be offered to a market for
attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might
satisfy a need or want. Thus, a product may be a physical
good, retail store, person, organization, place, or idea.
Product /
Service Innovation Defined
Product/service innovation is
the result of bringing to life a new way to solve the
customer's problem – through a new product or service
development – that benefits both the customer and the
sponsoring company.
Defining the
Scope and Time Frame of Product Innovation Required
According to Peter Drucker, the
following four questions must be answered to define how much
innovation is required, in what areas and in what time
frame:
How much longer will this product still grow?
How much longer will it maintain itself in the marketplace?
How soon can it be expected to age and decline – and how
fast?
When will it become obsolescent?
Product
Roadmap
Product roadmaps define new
product and service initiatives within a market of
technology context. They embody a large percentage of the
corporate strategy and provide a degree of tangibility that
helps bring together other choices in direction, technology,
marketing and so forth to the surface. Furthermore, starting
with product roadmaps forces people to be explicit about how
their ideas translate into new products or services. It is
vital for developing product roadmaps to discover
assumptions beneath the selection of products.

Achieving
and Maintaining Speed – the Key to Success
In the new economy where
everything is moving faster and it's only going to get
faster, the new mantra is, Do it more with less and do
it faster. In order to get real speed decisions at
virtually every level must be made in minutes, not days
or weeks. Decisions also have to be made face-to-face,
not memo-to-memo. This means that people have to think
on their feet, and that the forests of meaningless paper
trails and approvals – so common in large organizations
– must be eliminated.
Entrepreneurial Mindset
Venture values are
different from established corporate shared values.
Entrepreneurial independence demands space for action
and trust, while independence in a corporation implies
responsibility and control imposed from above.
Entrepreneurial speed demands agility, experimentation,
adaptation, and rapid response in order to be first to
market. Corporate experimentation comprises analysis,
review, sober consideration of facts, and willingness
sacrifice speed for thoroughness.
Moving
with Speed: The Four Components
Fast thinking:
anticipating the future, spotting trends before others,
challenging assumptions, and creating a corporate
environment where the best idea – regardless of origin –
wins.
Fast decision-making:
establishing corporate guiding principles, blowing off
stifling bureaucratic structures, shuffling portfolios,
constantly reassessing everything, and matching the
decision to the consequence.
Fast to market:
removing in-built speed-breakers, abandoning traditional
visions and missions and launching a crusade instead,
owning and exploiting your competitive advantage,
getting vendors and suppliers operating on your
timetable, staying beneath the radar, and building
virtuous circles of speed.
Sustaining speed:
maintaining velocity through working on your business,
injecting the relentless growth attitude into the firm,
being ruthless with resources, building a scoreboard
that measures activity, staying financially flexible,
proving the math, institutionalizing innovation, and
staying close to the customer.
