Summary
Your “product,” whether a physical product, a process, or a service, is the manifestation of all your organization’s value-creating activity. It is the value you are creating for your customer. It is essentially “why” your organization exists. It naturally follows, then, that new product development capability may be the most important skill in your organization because the work done during development impacts your organization for many years to come. You are essentially designing your future.
