Corporate view of relevant KPIs

Corporate view of relevant KPIs

Corporate overview - your kpi's

Start at the top - a high level view of your defined corporate KPIs, put into context. Here you can track your product and process evolution through time, combined with an overview of current expected NPV of all projects under development.

The focus here is on the projected business value of products that are both commercial and under development, based upon rigorous and consistent business models. This enables you to compare the relative value of your development investments.

This is NOT a project management tool - it is product governance.


Product Pipeline 

An example of an unhealthy product pipeline. Notice that this portfolio has two products in the market (one nearing retirement) and nothing under planning or development. This is a very weak and dangerous position to be in - there is only a single idea in the system for a future possible product. Immediate action is required here to ensure that this product line continues to thrive - or fail.

This situation could benefit from the creation and implementation of some kind of innovation drive and process - a means to start generating and evaluating potential product solutions, based upon expected market and technology trends. Given the often lengthy lag-time between product inception to commercial delivery it is critical to maintain a reasonably healthy product pipeline!
