We apply an experience-based framework & tool
to address Product Excellence Capability
Product Excellence Capability is fundamental when articulating strategic direction and optimizing execution. We have consolidated our multi-year, real-life experience into a framework, an assessment tool and a logic for how to keep Product Excellence Capability relevant over time. This helps you understand where, how and when to make action to address your Product Excellence Capability.
Our framework for Product Excellence Capability
NPiPE has created NAVIGATOR:9, a framework providing a structured overview of the Capability Areas critical to Product Excellence success:
Nine Capability Areas provide the foundation for how well equipped you are to achieve Product Excellence, covering three themes along the product lifecycle: Strategic Clarity & Priority, Efficient Execution and Core Supporting Enablers.
Each Capability Area has a best practice reference capturing critical dimensions such as business intent, business value, customer and market insight, systematic approach, tracking, effective decision-making and people.
Maximized product excellence requires an Integrated Approach linking these co-dependent capabilities so they build on each other across the company value chain.
How to remain relevant: Knowing your Product Excellence Capabilities and having clear targets for how to optimize and integrate the approach across the company value chain is imperative to reach product targets.
