The Problem With Product Proliferation
Innovation is often seen as the engine of growth, but there is a dark side: Unmanaged innovation frequently leads to excessive business complexity--in supply chain, sales and marketing, product development, IT, and administrative processes--leading to higher expenses and difficulties for customers and employees. Every time customers are asked to enter the same data twice, have inconsistent experiences when interacting with different parts of the business, or are forced to contact multiple people to get something done, it hurts the company. Every time employees can't access important information or their decisions get derailed by silos, it hurts the company. Excess innovation can even destroy a business. The authors offer three guidelines to address this problem: (1) Focus on product integration rather than proliferation; (2) Make sure that product developers are in close touch with customer-facing employees; and (3) Define your purpose in a way that will guide decision making.
