Zuken Engineering Insights

Thomas Gessner and Dr. David Allaverdi discuss how companies can successfully introduce product architecture and systems engineering initiatives and sustain them in everyday engineering practice.

Ten practical lessons:

1. Establish internal ownership and build the capability to lead independently.

2. Secure visible and sustained executive sponsorship.

3. Use active steering committees to align priorities and make decisions.

4. Protect dedicated time and capacity for the core team.

5. Appoint credible transformation leaders with product and organizational knowledge.

6. Plan adoption from the beginning, including processes, tools and stakeholder involvement.

7. Build organizational resilience beyond individual champions.

8. Deliver tangible value early and continuously.

9. Integrate the initiative into ongoing engineering projects.

10. Model with purpose, guided by strategic objectives and user needs.
