Overview
As the Process Owner for our Service & Product Strategy, I am responsible for the structural design and continuous optimization of our strategic value chain. My current focus is on updating, standardizing, and streamlining the processes that drive our market competitiveness.
The core of this work lies in the seamless integration and interplay of three critical components: Business Development, Innovation Management, and Portfolio Management.
The Strategic Cycle
We have designed a closed-loop system that ensures our organization remains responsive to market changes while maintaining a high standard of operational excellence:
1. Business Development: Identifying Opportunity
The cycle begins with the systematic identification of market pain points. By monitoring market shifts and leveraging deep customer insights, Business Development acts as our radar, detecting and validating new opportunities where we can provide unique value.
2. Innovation Management: Creating Solutions
Once an opportunity is validated, it enters Innovation Management. Here, we focus on developing cutting-edge solutions. We use agile innovation methods to transform market needs into tangible, high-potential services and products.
3. Portfolio Management: Integration & Optimization
Validated innovations are then integrated into our global portfolio. Portfolio Management’s role is to continuously monitor and evaluate our entire service landscape. We look for ways to optimize existing offerings and ensure we are always positioned for maximum impact.
Continuous Optimization
This is not a linear process but a dynamic ecosystem. The insights gained from portfolio monitoring often serve as the trigger for new Business Development activities, ensuring that our strategy is never static, but always evolving to meet the demands of a changing market.
