Developing A New Product Innovation Framework

Problem / Opportunity:

Small, incremental improvements with each update are a tried and tested formula. A challenge was put forth to discover and deliver outsized, out-of-box ideas.


Action:

I authored a 5-step workflow to guide engineering teams to:
  • scope projects
  • perform data collection
  • analyse and decide
  • prototype
  • test and deliver new product concepts

Product Roadmap Management

Problem / Opportunity:

Shimano develops several product lines.

These lines are renewed periodically to address market requirements and technology advancement.


Action:

I lead user and market research on CUES and Tourney product lines, contributing to product roadmap planning.
