Analytics for Innovation

Via former colleague Julie Anixter:

Kobi Gershoni great piece on why Product Developers need to read the external signals  .... 

" ... How can you use big data to increase your chances of success at the fuzzy front-end through big data analytics? At the recent IE Product Innovation Summit in Boston, we shared our firm’s learnings to date and showed how it can work in a case study on Keurig.* (*Keurig is not a Signals’ client and all research is Signals’ own for demonstration purposes.)

There is tremendous potential for strategic insights to be derived from external big data – yet most data science remains in the proverbial lab and is not made actionable for decision makers. Our goal was to harness the power of external big data to produce high-level business insights that are immediately actionable for business leaders.  ... "

Unified Decision Processes Driven with Data

At the Webinar today from Innovation Excellence by Julie Anixter on Big Data and New Product development,  Kobi Gershoni and Tom Davenport highlighted the work done over the years by Procter & Gamble in driving analytics towards operational big data, and by using their Business Sphere and Data Cockpit models.   These are ecosystems that provide a means towards a unified decision model.   Linking analytics ever more closely to the decision process.   Some excellent examples provided.   Slides and recording here.  Glad to have been a part of that analytics emphasis there over a number of years.  The alumni of that effort continue to drive this ahead.

(Updated:  See this startup, which is doing fundamental work about getting NPD data entered into the system and thus an excellent first step for a unified system )

Signals Group Product Intelligence

Just brought to my attention:  Signals Group

" ... Powerful product intelligence driven by data, geared towards action. We saw a need to reduce the risk and increase probability for success in building and launching new products. We believed that faster time-to-insight and evidence-based decisions are not just buzzwords.

As natural problem solvers, intelligence officers and geeks with a passion for data, we believed that the right combination of technology, data, and subject matter expertise could overcome this challenge.... 

We created a single platform capable of managing different types of data, performing analyses, and linking those insights to real new product development decisions.

We enable corporations and their product teams to build better, more successful products by transforming multiple external big data sources into actionable intelligence findings. ....  "
