Breaking the cycle

Look around at your business. What are the major daily issues facing you? Chances are achieving your strategic goals or developing your next generation of products don't make it anywhere near your top 10.

See if this is a familiar situation? Your company identifies a product your customer needs, you develop a solution, launch it into the business and then ...

... you spend the next 6 months (or longer) trouble shooting it, re-engineering the business because it costs twice as much to make as the model predicted and lastly re-designing the product to make it fit (or worse still because it doesn't fully meet customer needs).

Companies often find themselves in a vicious circle were it is altogether too easy to continue to spend on a product long after development (process optimisation, re-engineering, repackaging, enhancements etc.) - an activity that insidiously consumes money, resource and time. The key to breaking out of this cycle is to make sure that the right products are developed with the right commitment and focus to ensure that they are right first time. At Procentricity we have developed tools and processes that help companies break this cycle.
