11 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management SPM Relationship to Strategy Strategic Portfolio Management answers key questions Do we have a complete list of all innovation projects and activities? Are projects characterized sufficiently to understand their impact on the business and innovation strategy? Is this the right mix and balance by focus area, stage, type, risk / reward and timing? Do we have the right type of resources and investment levels for each project? Are there projects which we should accelerate, decelerate or kill to increase overall portfolio value? Is the revenue forecast sufficient to fill the growth gap? Is each area delivering according to its benchmark growth rate? 11

12 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management SPM Case Example Real case example: Reduce complexity and higher value portfolio Evolution of Number of Projects Evolution of RANPV (R$ million) 120% 250% 100% 100% 200% 200% 210% 80% 60% 65% 10 New Projects 150% 100% 100% 40% 34% 50% 20% 0% Initial Diagnostic Actual 0% Initial Diagnostic Actual Risk Adjusted 12

26 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management Questions Let s review what we learned, select the best answer Strategic Portfolio Management is the alignment of projects and programs to an organization s strategic objectives to maximize the value of the project portfolio a) True b) False 26

27 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM How is the project pipeline managed in your company? Concept to Customer Process Fuzzy Front End Concept Development Dynamic Pipeline Management (DPM) Execution + Implementation 27

28 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Dynamic Pipeline Management addresses root causes to optimize innovation to deliver higher value and faster project pipelines Leverage intelligence and enhance insight into customers and markets throughout the process Align to strategy and involve a broader set of assets, both across and beyond the organization Increase flexibility and maintain discipline throughout the process to speed time to market Assess and manage risk for more consistent performance and more accurate valuation Concept to Customer Process Fuzzy Front End Concept Development Dynamic Pipeline Management (DPM) Execution + Implementation 28

29 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Types There are three types of pipelines, each one with a different time frame, sponsors, resources, decision rights and investment needed Type of Pipeline Time Frame Sponsors Resources Decision Right Investment Just do it Days weeks Individual Individual / self forming teams Individual Time Incremental Weeks months Manager Assigned teams within a function Manager Time + nominal budgets Breakthrough / Radical Months - years CEO / Board Dedicated crossfunctional business teams BU heads Time + cutting across multi budget periods 29

30 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Types EXERCISE Are you managing these three type of projects? How many of each one do you have? Type of Pipeline Number of projects Just do it? Incremental? Breakthrough / Radical? 30

31 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Pipeline Issues Companies often feel that their project pipelines are not fast, miss opportunities, under deliver on value and / or cost more than planned Issue Examples Too slow in Getting Products to Market Slow vs. company s own expectations or vs. competitor best practice Lose first-mover advantage in the market Missed Opportunities Too few innovations Fail to generate and commercialize breakthrough products Fail to identify additional markets and segments Fail to commercialize risky technologies through licensing & partnering Revenues Consistently Below Expectations Slower than expected adoption by customers and channels Forecasts inaccurate Market won t bear desired price Investment and Cost Consistently > Plan Can t make product at expected cost, with quality Development costs higher than expected Capital investment exceeds appropriation request 31

32 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Common Pitfalls Root causes for the underperformance are typically not addressed Common Pitfalls Root Causes Too slow in Getting Products to Market Miss Opportunities There is no sense of urgency, or perceived consequences to being late The stage-gate process is done within functions and the handovers slow down the process Gate decisions are bureaucratic and inflexible Development and launch resources are not dedicated or ring-fenced The organization is not prepared to commercialize opportunities which have a longer timeframe than 2 years We rarely license-out technologies we do not commercialize ourselves We don t manage the process to ensure a rich inflow of good ideas Revenues Consistently Below Expectations We don t understand the market or our customer segments well enough, and often we significantly overestimate the appeal of the product Product launch is seldom well-designed and managed We don t anticipate how our competitors will react Customers tell us the price they ll pay, but then won t sign the check Investment and Cost Consistently > Plan By the time we get to launch, the cost to manufacture has often increased Pilot plants always cost more than we expect We build in the cost structure appropriate for the $750M drug we think we ve developed, and then we only sell $250M 32

33 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Role in Optimizing Innovation Pipeline management addresses root causes to optimize innovation to deliver higher value and faster project pipelines Align to strategy and involve a broader set of assets, both across and beyond the organization Increase flexibility and maintain discipline throughout the process to speed time to market Assess and manage risk for more consistent performance and more accurate valuation 33

34 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Role in Optimizing Innovation Companies have achieved significant benefits through a high performance dynamic pipeline management process Reduced time-to-market (40-70%) Improved product development productivity (20-35%) More output for same headcount or same output for lower headcount Increased revenue From earlier introduction (10% - 80%) From a better designed product that meets market needs (10-30%) Significant ROI More revenue, less cost, higher ROI Reduced product lifecycle cost (10-40%) Improved design quality and reduced design changes (ECOs, etc.) during early manufacturing (10-80%) Other qualitative benefits, such as better executive management leadership in product creation, efficient decision-making, etc. 34

35 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Best Practices Companies have achieved significant benefits through a high performance dynamic pipeline management process Solid Link with Strategy Integrated System View Discipline Speed Flexible and not bureaucratic process consistently used Effective and complete Implementation 35

36 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM IXL Center s Point of View IXL Center s point of view includes a few more insights and includes nine core characteristics that are key to pipeline value maximization Intelligence and Insights Strategic Alignment Discipline Flexibility Risk Management Higher Value Concepts Extended Enterprise Speed Valuation 36

37 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Pipeline Value The challenge is to increase pipeline value by managing speed and risk and sourcing high value concepts PIPELINE VALUE n = i = 1 PROJECT VALUE PROJECT VALUATION = RISK x n i = 1 (REVENUES i - COSTS i - INVESTMENTS i ) (1 + WACC) i RISK = % Capturing Relative Risks of Projects (e.g. Technical, Market, Implementation, etc.) Speed Management Risk Management High Value Concepts Sourcing Intelligence and Insights Discipline Flexibility Partnerships Alignment to Strategy 37

38 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Your company s pipeline TEMPLATE What do you need to improve in your pipeline management? Speed Management Risk Management High Value Concepts Sourcing Topic 1 Topic 2 Topic 3 Topic 4 Topic 5 We re great We could be better We need to improve 38

39 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Gates Drive ideas to launch while diminishing manageable risk first before unnecessary expenses 7 Reduce risks and uncertainties Avoid unnecessary spending to improve valuation Scale-up (high resources) 6 Launch (high resources) Risk Project Life 5 Development (mid-high resources) Resources Characterize the idea (low resources) 1 Preliminary Analysis (low resources) 2 Project Screening - Prioritization Macro resource allocation 3 Feasibility study (low-mid resources) Project resource allocation (in time) 4 Keep resource spending on track Compress project time to market to enhance speed IDEA 39

40 Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Gates - flexible and gates have to be designed to be flexible without compromising discipline Results (Categorized according to the criteria) Must and should have: Previous stage work quality control Business logics (is the project still attractive, regarding economic and business issues?) Action plan for next stage: When is the next review and which criteria should be used to conduct the review? What are the milestones (e.g. critical experiments, main events) for the next stage? Are the resources needed and actions proposed reasonable? Kill Hold (prioritization) Rework or bundle Go, accelerate When passing a review, the responsible people must check if the resources needed for the next stage are aligned to what was previously defined in the SPM prioritization Place projects in fast-track mode, or tag them as market development, R&D projects, etc. 40

41 How Innovation Portfolio & Pipeline Management DPM Process Elements Process elements and characteristics of a Dynamic Pipeline Management Main Aspects Definition Fast Track Risk management allows bypassing gates and grouping stages Uncertainty and need for information will determine which steps and stages can be omitted or must be conducted GROUP GROUP Fuzzy Gates Conditional approval of an activity in the review, to be completed and reviewed afterwards Preliminary Analysis Gate 2 Gate 3 Fluidity Start of an activity of the next stage before review approval (risk management) Feasibility Study Development 41
