Case Study: Performance Genesis:
Platform Architecting for Industrial Component Commonality
|
|
|
Strategic
Innovators are often presented with seemingly difficult innovation
challenges. For example, an international Fortune 500 market
leader in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning needed to evaluate
and plan a platform-based refinement of a specific component to improve
profitability.
To satisfy
the fragmented and evolving requirements in the various customer
segments, the client had developed multiple models within the product
line. This approach resulted in the design/selection of system components
that, although performing essentially the same function in each of the
models, were significantly different.
Product Genesis applied the Performance Genesis framework, which
is applicable to challenges presented by both new product lines and
markets, and established product families.
The platform architectures resulted in dramatic manufacturing and
installation performance improvements, delivered directly to our client's
bottom line.

Genesis, the premier Strategic Innovation consulting firm, on August 23,
2005 presented at the ISBM Members Meeting titled: "Key Challenges
for B-to-B: Innovation and Organization," at the Penn State
University Park Campus in State College, Pennsylvania. Mr. Jeff Hovis,
managing principal, joined a select, invitation only group for this
annual meeting.
The
conference addressed fundamental organizational challenges because,
"we've come through a difficult downturn, and the 'innovation
resources' inside many firms need bolstering. How do you find these
resources? Where do you put them in the organization for best success?
How do you avoid "marginalizing" new talent, new ideas and new
thoughts? How do you best get marketing and R&D resources connected
to drive market-based innovation?"
