Katherine Radeka helped us greatly with planning and executing the transformation of our product development system by taking a holistic approach to improving the effectiveness of the PD process as a company-wide activity rather than just focusing on one functional department. She led us through the reflection of the current state and facilitated the identification of key areas for improvement, the front end process being essential to ensure the right selection of PD projects for chartering and execution. Katherine also assisted us successfully in selecting and customizing basic lean tools to match our specific needs in the implementation of the company lean product & process development system.
