Results

The decision-making process regarding product and service development funding has undergone significant redesign impacting the entire Division.  Executives are now engaged in product and service portfolio decisions based on a globally consistent view of the market, the priority opportunities that exist and what’s required to capitalize on those priorities.  A consistent cadence is being used throughout the year to align with Division strategic planning and budgeting timelines.  The process has been codified and coordinated with the enterprise-wide product development process.  The newly created global function’s role has been clarified and contribution to meeting global growth demonstrated.
