This presentation focuses on (IC&CPD™) as a 5-step Innovation Continuum & Continuous Product Development Life Cycle — using the five “W’s to discuss the innovation and product development process. Innovation has been basically looked at as a linear path from start to finish. “Innovation Continuum” is innovation with a circular life-cycle that never stops. We need to think of a new beginning long before we are at the end of the process. That is a never ending continuous life cycle, along with the consideration of obsolescence of new products long before they are introduced into the marketplace.
One of the outcomes of this research into countless successful project teams was the staging from ideas to final launch and then follow up to secure strong market positioning. We will evaluate four key area for new product development and strengthening market positioning: (1) Strategic – vision and leadership, (2) Portfolio Management –resource and tasks, (3) Framework for new product development – ideation, decision-points, drivers, and (4) Destructive Innovation.
