Customer Value Data Enhances the Stage-Gate Process

Since the inception of the Stage-Gate Process in the Nineties, Voice of the
Customer Research has been the main source of customer data
Data

VOC Customer Value
• Qualitative / Quantitative
• Focus on attitudes,
preference & usage
• Qualitative / Quantitative
• Focus on business models /
value drivers / economics
• Better in the early stages
(Ideation and to a lesser
degree development)
• Applicable to all stages, but
especially helpful for
business case, development
and validation
• Offers little guidance for
pricing, business case
and market launch
• Helpful, but not sufficient
for ideation

Building a Value-based Development Process
11
Situation: Comm Co, a $1B maker of
communications systems, faced disruptive market changes caused by new, less expensive technologies
Company was built through acquisition leading to inconsistent development and pricing processes
Competition was eroding margins and new product success rates – leading to tighter development budgets
The management team believed that the future health of company was at risk
Objective: Align the commercial process to create and capture customers
value more effectively

Product and Pricing Review Group

Existing decision board was
divided and ineffective:
• Too many non-stakeholders
• Conflicting agendas
• Different market views
Solution required real change
• Limited membership to senior
stakeholders
• Conducted training on new
process and value-based
approach
• Agreed on set of strategic
questions for PM’s to answer

Results
15
Improved time to market by minimizing
“reworks” caused by lack of alignment between PM’s and decision board
Margin erosion turned around and started to improve
Better alignment of the leadership team as the new pricing / product council focused on strategy and policy rather than tactical product and pricing decisions
Project manager was promoted shortly after project concluded

Some Key Learnings
Customer value provides a powerful metric for improving the
commercial process
Value Management tools are essential to scale the process changes
and ensure consistency
Migrating to a value-based approach is effective. But don’t
underestimate the degree of change required
Upstream and downstream changes must work together to deliver
maximum results
