The Need for Engineering Teams
 Increasing Technology Content
• Complex Engineered Systems Have too
Much Information Content for Any One
Person to Address
 Speed
• Time-To-Market Often Means the
Difference Between Profits & Losses
• Teams Allow work to Be Done in
PARALLEL (at the Same Time)

The Process of Leadership
 1. Challenge the process
• First, find the process that you believe
needs to be improved the most
 2. Inspire a shared vision
• Next, share your vision in words that can
be understood by your followers
 3. Enable others to act
• Give them the tools and methods to
solve the problem
Engineering-10: Intro to Engineering
25
Bruce Mayer, PE
BMayer@CphabotCollege.edu • ENGR-10_Lec-15_TeamWork_Leadership.ppt
The Process of Leadership cont.
 4. Model the way
• When the process gets tough, get your
hands dirty. A BOSS tells others what to
do...a LEADER shows it can be done.
 5. Encourage the heart
• Share the glory with your followers' heart,
keep the pains in your heart.
– Be Optimistic; Don’t Let
The Team Get Discouraged

Product Development Failure Mechanisms
Source = Sohpeon/TelTech Mar02
Studies Identify Leading Cause of New Product Failure
It's startling. At a time when companies are investing more than ever before in new product initiatives to boost
sales and market share, an estimated 56% of the resources spent on the development and launch of new products is
squandered on products that either never make it to market or fail upon arrival. What's more, only about one in four
new products that formally enter development ever become a commercial success. Those are the findings of studies
by product development expert and Product Development Institute co-founder Dr. Robert Cooper.
Why the low success rates? The leading cause of new product failure, according to research done by Dr.
Cooper, is inadequate market appraisal (e.g., customer needs assessment, competitive analysis and
understanding market drivers and trends. Cooper found that detailed market assessment was either
seriously deficient or outright absent in 74% of 1,500 new product projects studied. Even a basic or
preliminary market study was lacking in 46% of the projects.
Other deterrents to new product success included product problems/defects, lack of marketing support, higherthan-anticipated development costs, poor timing and unexpected competitor strengths and reactions. Many of these
pitfalls can be linked to not having the right information and knowledge at the right time.
The "right time" is most often early in the product development process. In fact, the more resources invested in
these initial stages, the greater the likelihood of success. Cooper found that successful products typically require
about twice as much money and 1.75 times more person-days than unsuccessful products. Yet, on average, only
about 7% of the development dollars ad 16% of the person days are devoted to these "make or break" activities.
