LEAN PROGRAM CONSULTING I take a holistic approach to NPD improvements by addressing needed changes at three ‘Layers’ of Product Development work within a business: The Process Layer, The Practice Layer, & The Pipeline Layer. > The Process Layer – Removing waste and bottlenecks in the product development process itself > The Practice Layer – Focusing on HOW work is done by project teams by using Agile methods & leading highly effective team-based Acceleration Events > The Pipeline layer – Institutionalizing a recurring leadership decision making process for force ranking & broadly communicating project priorities, implementing self-guiding work rules, and putting in place methods to understand the development capacity of the business. All three Layers working together can dramatically improve Speed-to-Market and overall Product Development results
