Product Design Innovation Process A-Z/360 by Vadim Kotelnikov  

Successful companies design new products for both great customer experience and efficient manufacture. They build design thinking and innovation into their organization and often involve customers in the process of new-product design and its alpha- and beta-testing.

Success depends on both what you do and how you do it. There are specific elements that help you and your company to be more innovative. But it's not a matter of simply following directions. "The 'secret formula' is actually not very formulaic. It's blend of culture, methodologies, infrastructure, and work practices," says Tom Kelly from IDEO, a World leading product design firm.

 

 

 

According to IDEO, the Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic of Innovation are Observation, Brainstorming, and Prototyping.

"Identify every barrier that keeps people away from your offerings, especially for first-time customers. Then systematically tackle each one, using a combination of simplicity, clear communication, and customer-centered design," advises Tom Kelley from IDEO.

Example:  Harley-Davidson

At Harley-Davidson, a manufacturer of heavy-weight motorcycles, management commitment to new product design via cross-functional teams is clear.

Representatives from engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, and marketing have always had influence on the future direction of new products.

 

 

 

In addition, management is implementing self-managed work teams to help meet the challenges of manufacturing its products in a timely fashion. Harley-Davidson's self-management work teams are on the way to becoming the standard for the industry.
