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.

During a time when business success depends on navigating a growing list of competing priorities, it is critical that the quality management system (QMS) maintains its effectiveness in the organization.

The QMS supports employees in navigating these decisions by showing how quality fits into the equation and supports the business.

Quality leaders rely heavily on their quality management systems to act as critical guardrails. As such, they need to ensure the QMS stays relevant and effective. In this complimentary webinar, quality leaders will critically assess three beliefs holding back the QMS, but also key enablers and outputs.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand specific user needs and concerns to adopt effective QMS design
• Challenge defined requirements in QMS procedures to drive QMS adherence
• Increase the value of QMS in your organization with ‘analysis-ready’ data as a key output
