Breakthrough Thinking > Program 2: Customer Value Teams
Customer value programs deliver high performance results all
over the world. Product and market relationships come from
executives and line workers and everyone in between.
Process:
Preliminary discussions select areas where breakthroughs in
products, margins and markets are needed.
Participants find themselves in an innovative learning
environment and in teams, define how customers and markets have
been traditionally defined. Then innovation and imagination are
let loose. Surprising alternatives are seen; mindsets opened.
Breakthroughs are in the air.
On the second day participants form teams- each representing
different customers and/or competitors. Each team presents
competitive aspects of newly defined products or services. Walk
around physical constructions are used to demonstrate past vs.
future. Results and ideas are documented for next steps
In the 3 day version, teams are coached to put together
preliminary project plans for implementation, review or
reworking. A detailed and candid wrap up of what was unearthed
is boarded and published; requests for new learning and follow
up strategies are discussed.
