4. R&D Impact: The Customer View
We’re placing our
customers’ trust
in your hands.
We want a more agile
environment where we can
start building things and
solve problems together in
months, not years.
We need new products
every 18 months –
the treadmill is moving
very very fast.
Our decision to
outsource is partially
cost but more about
“bursting” ability.
25% of my team is running
in an agile model, and we’re
trying to get more than 50%
in next 12 months.
We need partners that can
truly extend our business.
It’s all about co-creation.
