Why is there a lack of communication between departments on critical component updates and product portfolio alignment?
Why is our R&D team busy maintaining and firefighting an old product instead of focusing on new innovations, resulting in opportunity costs of $10M to $100M each year?
Why is our product portfolio poorly managed, leading to high costs at the end of the product lifecycle without a successor product in sight?
Why has our profit margin decreased by more than 35%?
Why is this component suddenly unavailable, causing production stops @ $2M/hr.?
Pain Points
Why do we frequently run into unplanned redesign projects which cost between $30K and $33M each?
Why are we losing market share to our competitors?
Why did we again miss a part discontinuation?
Why are we facing high penalty fees due to production delays and delayed deliveries?
Why is our PPV unfavorable again, even though we continue to hire more staff?
Why did we have to redesign our new product due to obsolescence shortly after its launch?
