PIB Offers Services Across the NPD System
With a deep understanding of the
innovation strategy, we visualize key
project information to help senior
leadership teams both monitor the
value the portfolio of NPD projects
and make key investment decisions.
Additionally, we work intimately with
leadership teams to design decision
making processes and ensure that
NPD teams present the appropriate
project information at governance
meetings.
We have significant experience in
helping companies understand the
cross-functional connecting rods
framing effective NPD processes.
We understand the NPD process and
map it for our clients to educate their
teams and improve performance.
Processes we have focused on in the
past include Ideation, Feasibility,
Development, Commercialization,
and Geographic Expansion.
Our project management services
are focused solely on projects which
support NPD to complement our
experience in the space.
In order to support the development
of our client’s NPD Project
Management function, we:
• Assess Internal Project
Management Functions
• Structure and Build Project
Management Organization
• Outsource Project Managers

The Right Information
Leadership bodies need to be equipped with the right
information to make critical decisions.
• Balance Scorecards
We build scorecards to objectively assess the strategic and
financial value of projects within the NPD portfolio.
• Portfolio Visualizations
We visualize key project data to ensure that leadership teams can
easily understand and interact with project information. This
improves the quality and speed of decision making within our
client’s organization.
The Right Decisions
Leadership bodies need established processes to make
sure that decision rights are clearly articulated.
• Decision Process Design
We build internal processes to make decision making processes
as transparent as possible. This includes the criteria for making
decisions as well as who makes the decisions (e.g., RACI / RAPID
/ DAI decision matrices).

Mapping & Improving the Process
We have significant experience mapping and improving
the NPD process. Some of our work examples include:
• Business Development and Technology Search
processes mapped as separate workflows or embedded
within the NPD process
• Processes involving CMOs and CROs
• The NPD process mapped to as many as 9 levels of
detail including the SOP level
• NPD processes for Rx-to-OTC Switches and Medical
Devices, as well as drugs, cosmetics, consumer
electronics and foods
New Product Development Processes
Implementing the Process
The people who live the process day to day determine its
success. Therefore, we have employed methods to ensure
organization-wide engagement:
• Process Visualizations
We transform the swim lanes and boxes of traditional process
maps into user-friendly & fun process visuals for communication
and education. (see next page for examples)
• Web-Enablement of Key Processes
To support implementation, we use technology to ensure that
employees can access the information within the process maps
anytime, anywhere.

Across the NPD process, we are interested in helping our clients map, better, and implement the process
within their organization. We believe that a well thought through process allows our client’s to devote
themselves entirely to creative, innovative work and limit questions such as “who does what now?”.

NPD Process Map Visualization Client Examples
Some Product Development Process
Maps are driven by the R&D activities
necessary to launch a product or
service. These represent the more
typical approach to Process Mapping.
Others focus on the specific “consumer
touch points” throughout the process to
ensure that the consumer remains the
focal point of the Product Development
Process.

Editor's Notes

  • #7: Obviously, many functional groups need to interact collaboratively and in parallel to bring an idea all the way to fruition as a marketed OTC product. Cross-Functional participation is crucial! These 7 groups need to work together throughout the NPD process. The NPD Road Map we looked at two slides back just covered this one swim lane at a very high level. The complete NPD process when broken down into individual tasks would number into the hundreds or thousands depending on the level of granularity you go down to. At Merck Consumer Care we utilize a project team approach to ensure cross-functional participation
