- 15. The New New Product Development Game, HBR 1986 In today’s fast-paced, fiercely competitive world of commercial new product development, speed and flexibility are essential. Companies are increasingly realizing that the old, sequential approach to developing new products simply won’t get the job done. Instead, companies in Japan and the US are using a holistic method—as in rugby, the ball gets passed within the team as it moves as a unit up the field. This holistic approach has six characteristics: built-in instability, self-organizing project teams, overlapping development phases, “multilearning,” subtle control, and organizational transfer of learning. The six pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, forming a fast flexible process for new product development. Just as important, the new approach can act as a change agent: it is a vehicle for introducing creative, market- driven ideas and processes into an old, rigid organization.

As he entered the front door, the host said, “I love your pictures – they’re wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.” He said nothing until dinner was finished, then, “That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove.” – Sam Haskins
