Why using a Stage-Gate® product development process?

A huge impact on profit and growth!

Higher profitability
  Higher profitability of your product development programme.
  Higher sucess rates
  More satisfied customers willing to pay a price premium.

Higher speed
  Shorter time from idea to profit.
  Improved timing and adherence to budget.

Certain best practices make product development more efficient. Some of them are:

  Products with a superior differential advantage.
  Strong market orientation.
  Solid homework before development begins.
  Sharp product definition before development.
  Tough Go/Kill decision points in the process.
  A complete and yet flexible process with no omissions of error.
  Dedicated and empowered project leader and team.

A high quality Stage-Gate process secures that best practices are built into each and every development project.

Huge profit potential (See details)
A high quality process can increase the company's success rate by 10-30% and shorten time to market by 30%. And this actually increases company profits by millions, frequently by just as many millions as the company's annual development budget.
