Our Principles
We are driven by Innovation Principles to help accelerate your Product Development process. Our principles help guide us to match Innovation and Design for Six Sigma tools and methods to your company’s needs. These Principles include:
Value
Innovation must focus on delivering new prioritized value to the customers and the organization. If we don’t match the customers Priorities, we are not delivering the best product.
Systems Thinking
Innovation must be grounded in a deep understanding of the broader system and context. We cannot solve problems in isolation without considering how the solution fits into the larger system. Part of that system will always be time to Launch.
Teamwork
Successful innovation requires a collaborative team that trusts each other. A mutual understanding of the teams’ priorities helps us align and deliver on time.
Probabilistic Thinking
By reframing things as a probability rather than a binary, we’re able to think more rationally and better manage risk. Statistical tools can be the most effective and efficient way to learn and optimize Design and performance.
