Donald G. Reinertsen was at Booz Allen Hamilton when he coined the term “Fuzzy Front End” in an article for PMI in the 1980’s.

He did so because he thought there was something going on up there at the beginning of New Product Development but it was fuzzy.

He was interviewed for an article a few years later. By then he had come to dislike the term, “Fuzzy Front End”. He felt that, after more study, there were a number of tools and processes in place (some for decades), that made the front end into a repeatable process.

That concept of Fuzzy Logic (sampling the environment, the market, technology, the competition, etc.) became the basic concept behind this important discovery stage and the basis for many popular branded processes like Hunting for Hunting Grounds™.

Never mind Reinertsen’s new thinking, the term “Fuzzy Front End” was catching on by the mid-90’s in the New Product Development community and perpetuated the myth of this stage as somewhat mystical.

This webinar with Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile), & Christopher Miller (LinkedIn profile) will attempt to demystify the new product discovery.

The Enabling Change SIG’s mission is to ‘improve the change capability of organisations, teams and individuals. CMI’s competency framework could be one tool to support this.

In this webinar Melanie Franklin enables viewers to find out about the CMI’s competency framework, and assess if and how this is something that could help them, their teams and their organisations develop their change capability.

She does this through a combination of presentations and a couple of polls during the webinar. Melanie will also allow some time for Q&A.

N.B. The SIG is ‘method neutral’, so that we invite speakers from a range of external change-related organisations to speak at our events.

The webinar also provides a quick update on the SIG’s work in developing the resources available to members, including its plans for an introductory publication on managing change.
