The Price of Success
Best-in-class companies have a time-to-market of 50% less than their competition, and are able to use their New Product Development process as a source of competitive advantage.

Less successful companies fall behind industry leaders in important ways: 

  • Close to 50% of all resources allocated by US firms for NPD and commercialization are spent on products that are cancelled or fail to yield an adequate financial return
  • For every four products that enter development, only one becomes a commercial success

These statistics don’t reflect lost opportunity costs associated with:

  • Price erosion due to late market entry 
  • Lost market share 
  • Inability to assign resources from delayed projects to work on new projects 
  • Customer frustration
  • Damage to the company’s reputation


At HDA we help companies transform their NPD processes enabling them to win!
