In most cases, a hospital’s network can transition over time with new technology and evolve into meeting the demands it requires to perform effectively. However, upgrading a hospital’s entire network can often be very expensive to implement and sustain. There may be a case where components or parts are no longer being produced to meet current and future demands. In the last several...

...AberdeenGroup New Product Development: Profiting from Innovation Business Value Research Series December 2005 The New Product Development Business Value Research Series Executive Summary eveloping a new technology or solution that fills a need for a customer is fulfilling. This feeling of accomplishment is not accompanied by the pleasant jingle of coins in the corporate pockets, however, unless the idea makes its way out of the innovator’s head, off of the planning board, and eventually off of the engineer’s harddrive. Product development teams and executives alike need to measure the success of innovation the way the corporation measures success – by the bottom line. Turning a concept into a profitable product or product platform is not an easy job, and requires people from multiple disciplines to work together. New product development (NPD) is a complex, collaborative process that requires coordinating the innovation efforts of many to meet a common goal. The following is a list of participating groups that may be required for a product to successfully come to market: • • • • • Marketing Engineering Procurement Regulatory Manufacturing • • • • • Design Suppliers Sales / Channels Finance Legal • Manufacturing Engineering D Different organizations and individuals are responsible for one or more aspects of the product, and few of these aspects can stand alone. Decisions made in one facet of a product impact many others. Aberdeen’s Product Innovation Agenda...

...critical for IT projects, often plagued with failure as performance objectives do not align with traditional measures. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for information technology (IT) project quality control, particularly within the domains of project management and performance measurement. The data provided qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrates the criticality of enhanced project quality control in the IT industry. Analysis of alternative methods provides alternatives to the traditional method. Alternative methods have been applied and well-accepted at large organizations who realized the criticality of these measures as new products, services, and results showed significant overall improvement. Overall this study demonstrates that improving quality control methods for IT projects leads to a strong project design—a key component of project success. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for information technology (IT) project quality control, particularly within the domains of project management and performance measurement. There is “a growing disenchantment with the traditional methodology” that measures project success by approaches such as time conformance and budget adherence, prompting stakeholders and project managers to seek methods that will provide a clear analysis of project performance (Barclay & Osei-Bryson, 2008, p. 139). While stakeholders are involved in assessing the performance of any project...

Prastacos The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a relatively new approach to strategic management and performance measurement and control, which has generated substantial interest in the academic and industrial communities. This paper presents the experience from the implementation of a specific BSC model at a large software development company in Greece. The study illustrates and evaluates the main obstacles and shortcomings, as well as the critical success factors that characterise such BSC projects, while offering managerial insights and guidelines for similar implementations. Q 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Introduction The shortcomings of traditional management control and performance measurement motivated the development of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), a management system incorporating all quantitative and abstract measures of true importance to an enterprise.1 The two key elements of the BSC are: (a) Clustering of similar types of measures into groups (perspectives); (b) Limiting the measures and linking their values to improve clarity, allow for transparent communication throughout the organisation, and effectively manage change. 5 An earlier and compact version of this paper was presented at the IEEE International Engineering Management...

...by applying its technology to develop a top-quality binocular. What kind of project management structure would you recommend they use for this project? What information would you like to have to make this recommendation, and why? To determine the project management structure, I would want to know the current management structure of the firm, and the project management structure, the firm has used in the past. As, it might become difficult for the employees to adjust to matrix structure if they are used to a functional structure. The priority of the project is also an important factor in determining the project management structure. If the company is constantly loosing out on revenue, it is vital to complete the project as soon as possible. The availability of resources is also a key factor, if the human and other resources such as technology, research labs etc. are abundant then I would choose a dedicated team and if the resources are scarce, a matrix structure would be preferable wherein employees can concentrate on both their function and project work. However, considering the information in hand I would recommend that the company adopt a strong matrix system. The company is already a market leader in optical scopes and entering in the binocular market is not the highest priority activity for them. Moreover, the development of a new product should not hamper the company’s current functional activities. Hence, adopting a strong matrix, wherein the project manager controls...

...INTRODUCTION Communication is defined as the process by which information is transmitted and understood between two or more people. It is a mode of sharing thoughts, feelings, expressions and many more things. Communication plays a very important role in an organization. In fact, it is said to be the life wire of the organization. Communication is very crucial and unavoidable since we have intentions which we want to pass across to another person, group or even to the outside world, besides playing an instrumental role for organizational learning and decision making. However, what is being communicated may be well understood and thus feedback, or misunderstood and thus communication breakdown. In fact, communication within an organization could be grapevine or rumour. In all, communication in an organization is very complex and it needs to be correctly handled and monitored to avoid chaos, crisis or conflict. Effective communication at workplace is a key factor in determining the success of an organization, as this will make employees feel value, connected and committed to the organization. This paper will share some real life scenario of team and organizational communication-related concerns, providing an in-depth analysis through the perspective of communication, besides recommendation of the way forward. Change Management – The Effective Communication Process Communication at workplace is about information sharing among employees so that they clarify their expectations...
