The hidden costs of poor product development can devastate your project timeline, budget, and ultimate market success. Drawing from Dr. Robert Cooper’s research, this episode reveals how skipping proper concept development the critical “fuzzy front end” of product design leads many teams into a costly “ready-fire-aim” approach.

Most development teams dedicate a mere 16% of project time to concept work, despite evidence showing successful products allocate 75% more resources to these early activities.

The consequences? Designs repeatedly scrapped or substantially modified mid-development, wasted engineering hours, multiple unnecessary prototypes, and products that fail to meet customer expectations.

Through practical scenarios and comparative timelines, I demonstrate how proper concept development using Quality During Design methodology can reduce engineering time by 35% and design iterations by 60%.

By engaging cross-functional teams early and using visual frameworks instead of multiple physical prototypes, you’ll not only save time but develop products with significantly higher chances of market success up to three times more likely, with 38% higher market share and better customer ratings.

This approach doesn’t mean endless planning without action. Rather, it’s about focused teamwork that addresses customer needs, use environments, and potential risks before diving into detailed design. The result? More efficient development, stronger team alignment, and products that genuinely solve customer problems.

Corey Dickens, CMRP joined CMMSradio with a twist – He interviews Greg, the Host of CMMSradio, to gather the backstory around his CMMS journey. There’s a special announcement as well. You’ll know it when you see and hear it. Here’s a hint: Raleigh.

Corey wanted to change roles, and be the host, for his third appearance on the podcast – This was a fun episode with no prep – our favorite style to assure a real conversation with no preconceived notions going into it. That’s how the real-world works, right!! Thank you, Corey, for doing an amazing job at “guest host” and for proposing this idea.
