THEME 2: RISK MANAGEMENT IN INNOVATION

Product innovation process
Is it a selection process?
It is a risk mitigation and value creation process
Risk management is key throughout the whole process!

CONFIDENTIAL
Incremental innovation vs. Radical innovation
• The danger of incremental
innovation is to jeopardize your
existing Business.
• Radical innovation seems to be
highly risky but the risk is well
contained.
• Effort / effect relationship is
much more positive in radical
innovation.
• “Creative space” is much more
limited in incremental innovation.

Early stage risk assessment: why?
Wait for the risk to come true ?
More freedom to adjust in early project phases
Early detection of risk allows for measures at
lower cost and with less schedule impact
Learn to fail fast !

Impact of
mitigation
Risk = events that can jeopardize the
successful completion of the project
Risk = likelihood x negative impact
zero risk is not affordable in
terms of cost and schedule
Risk management :
The gain should
exceed the pain !

• Schedule : Planning / Time
• Cost : Budget / Price
Combine product and process view on risk

How to step into the unknown ?
Product
• Chop product into pieces
physical & functional decomposition
• Assess risks, communicate them
• Identify critical items / focus on them
• Continuous verification
Make it tangible / measurable / Visualise
• Keep your design options open
(fallback solutions)
Process
• Chop development process into pieces
(stage gate process)
• Early verification & validation
• Guard your baseline
• Keep project options open
• Be aware of risks,
don’t be afraid of them
• Skilled multi-disciplinary team (expertise)

Identify critical items
How ?
• New for the company / New for the world
• Risk assessment (FMEA/FTA)
• Feature map: key functionalities
• Product breakdown
• Added value creation
• Past experience (e.g. service statistics)
• Cost of failure
• Complexity
• Design driver
• Safety / Security

User Centered Design strategies
User centered design :
Less dependent of abilities of the user
more accomodating of disabilities
from unpacking until disposal
Matching environmental conditions
Positive & Negative use case scenario’s :
Intended use Intended misuse
Unintended use Unintended misuse
Typical technical /
engineering focus!
24. 25
CONFIDENTIAL
Stage gate process with convergent /
divergent thinking
Use clear targets & success criteria (right question):
• What do you want to learn ?
• What criteria have to be fullfilled to go ahead ?
Having to redirect is no failure, don’t take risks to a next stage
try to reach the decision point with minimal effort (timing & budget)
Update your baseline at each gate

Requirements vs. design options
Adjust requirements (vs. value)
• Functional :
what should it do?
• Performance:
how good should it perform?
Adjust architecture / design
• Functional: backup options
• Physical: physical breakdown
• System: all building blocks, incl.
enabling products & processes
Compliance matrix
• What building
block fulfills
which function
• How is each

going to be
verified
Include risk assessment (P³)
when selecting options

It’ s not a Santa Claus list
• Aim high to land in the middle does not work in product development!
Why?
• Remember we search for added value,
being a balanced concept
• There’ s nothing like a firm specification
• It’s about a balanced set of specifications
• Agile process

Review of design
Boundary conditions
• design description
• experience
• 360 ° review team
• quick design
Points of attention:
• major risks
• criticalities
• interfaces (sw, elec, mech)
• design changes
• added value

Why simulation : early validation
Benefits
(wrt. the V-shaped approach):
• More and faster iterations
• Parallel development of hw & sw
• Multiple off-nominal
and error testing,
incl. fault injection
(non feasible tests)
• Early full system validation
and risk mitigation without hw
• Less real-life testing
(= the poor man’s approach)
• More optimal system design
by sw-physics co-simulation
• Improved communication & definition,
leading to better design specs
Resulting in time & cost reduction
Traditional:
• sequential developments = lengthy
• validation on hw = late
Model based:
• Parallel developments = fast
• validation on model = early

Risk is a fact of life
accept risk, but don’t invite Murphy
1. Connect risk to added value (user centered)
2. Framework without design strategies is waste of time
3. Think forward generate options
4. Cut into pieces
5. Identify criticalities and focus on them
6. Make it tangible
7. Tools = subjective
only a basis for discussion
and an aid to make decisions
8. Keep performance, budget & schedule
in balance
9. Fail fast, fail cheap
10.No rocket science needed

Training: Risk Management in integrated
R&D processes
February (Kruibeke, B)
Risk remains a challenge to manage. This training clarifies how risk
management for R&D projects differs from risk
management approaches in Project Management. This training illustrates
a global framework with real-life cases of different risk management tools
for your innovation track.
