Objective
A leading life sciences industry wanted to ensure that they were investing in the most important technologies and products for the future. To meet this objective, the company started developing roadmaps and discovered that their roadmapping process didn’t align with strategic planning processes, nor did the outputs provide information executives wanted to better understand.
Solution
To achieve desired results and minimize project risk, the company turned to Kalypso for help creating a roadmapping process and solution designed to meet their unique needs. Kalypso guided the client through a focused roadmapping pilot that demonstrated specific strategic planning scenarios, a validated architecture design, and multi-view roadmap capabilities to understand how specific products and technologies are related.
With a common process and defined methodology for sharing cross-functional roadmap information, the client was able to gain greater visibility into strategic planning data across the company. After only eight weeks working with Kalypso, the company was rolling out an efficient process and solution for creating, managing, and sharing up-to-date roadmaps that depict the importance of new products and technologies.
Results
Today, the client is using roadmaps to make better informed business decisions and understand the ripple effect of planning information as it changes. According to the client, “we not only have greater visibility into technologies and products in our pipeline, we can visualize and understand how they are linked. As a result, we have better information at our fingertips that helps us decide how to fund projects.”
Through the process of roadmapping, the client can identify and fund the most important technologies and products that meet market demand, customer needs, and safety requirements. The client is pleased with the project results and expanding roadmapping to additional business units and participants. Early benefits the client has cited include: a more integrated view of the market and how products and technologies are related; better communication of forward-looking plans across teams; and a more defined, repeatable roadmapping process
