Executive transparency, across all projects.

Do you always have a birds eye view of progress, on every project at all times?

Aligning execution with strategy

Budget / schedule

Establishing initial timelines, aligning them consistently across the product portfolio, and continuously realigning them in coordination with all suppliers is critical for making informed executive decisions.

Time to market

Streamlining the time to market is essential for the success of any innovation project by ensuring that all process owners are on track with initial planning and rapidly address any bottlenecks that may arise.

Simultaneous projects

Efficiently managing and coordinating a growing number of multiple simultaneous projects requires clear communication, deep understanding of all moving parts and synchronisation of everybody involved.

Manufacturing is most often a game of trying to minimise delays and keeping to budgets.

Most product delays, recalls and regulatory problems can be traced down to 3 key elements of misalignment.

1

Information gets to the decision-maker too late
2

Supply-chain complexity causes unwanted delays
3

Leadership and management are not in constant alignment

There just is not enough time and bandwidth for leaders to focus on more inspired and proactive strategies.

Digitalising key innovation processes can have a major impact towards improving the situation.

The biggest challenges facing leadership

Unexpected delays

Product development can be defined by constantly overcoming new challenges. It becomes unnecessarily stressful, when problems which could have been prevented were discovered too late because of a lack of transparency.

Ineffective collaboration

Decentralised production means aligning product criteria across the entire supply chain. In iterative development projects, maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders is vital, but almost impossible to maintain in real-time.

Lack of overview

Time-to-market expectations are getting shorter every cycle. With several projects running simultaneously, it typically requires an inordinate amount of effort just to keep track of where things are.
