Product Launch for New Product Developers
If you intend to employ more social media in your new product development (NPD) efforts, it may be helpful to begin by re-evaluating how presentations are delivered within your organization.At the Web 2.0 Expo in November 2009, the keynote presentations were enhanced using a live Twitter feed generated using a publicized hashtag (#w2e) and multiple WiFi access points for the audience. I suspect that some of the Presenters were more comfortable with the established paradigm of delivering a monolog with a prepared set of images in a darkened room. The addition of a live Twitter feed provided a public sampling of the realtime conversation within the audience.What was revealed in the conversations?Some tweets contained simple status information such as "The presentation is starting now." Commonly, audience members posted quotes from the presenter. Other tweets contained supplemental information such as 'The link for more information is ...' Occasionally, the tweets were fact checks. A few tweets contained a surprising insight or humorous anecdote.Capacity problemsBecause so many people were attempting to use the WiFi, the system was overloaded. Joel Spolsky has an excellent post on "The WiFi at Conferences Problem." Additional suggestions are in the "Why is Interet access and Wi-Fi always so terrible at large conferences" discussion.Benefits of having social media during a presentation The addition of hundreds of tweets during presentations provided:Richer experience for the audience. Potential for more excitement and greater engagement.Realtime evaluation. When the presenter was motivational, the content of the tweets reflected it. When there was too much superficial content, dissatisfaction was registered in the tweets. The absence of feedback signaled that the audience was distracted and likely to be using the WiFi connection for other activities.Disintermediated information. Instead of a dashboard summary, the raw text is available.Traceable sources. Tweets are not anonymous. Authorship is revealed.Analytics. The tweets can be reviewed after the presentation to extract other information.A multi-perspective summary of the event.Feedback for the presenter. Opportunities for realtime adjustments. Insights for improving future presentations. Feedback for the event planners that complements survey information and subjective assessments.After experiencing the enhanced presentations last month, it will be difficult to accept another dull PowerPoint monolog in a darkened room.Don't feed the trolls (DNFTT)During the Web 2.0 expo, the feed generated from #w2e (the publicized Twitter hashtag) was moderated. There was a mechanism to remove inappropriate comments before they were displayed on the big screen. Trolls were thwarted.Implications for new product developmentThere seems to be a growing urgency to add social media capabilities to new product development efforts. The budget for social media capabilities has been increased in many organizations. Now, 'Social Media Strategist' is a job title. This is reminiscent of the job title 'Web Master' from the 1990s.It will take more than adding Web 2.0 capabilities to your site and devoting resources to your Twitter effort to maximize the effectiveness of your development efforts. It will require more than mastering the jargon.Perhaps one way to gain experience using social media is to evolve the established presentation paradigms to empower new communities and improve open innovation.This is possible because social media provides a great method for listening. Likewise, new product development benefits from listening as the product evolves from a concept to a commercially viable solution
Adding social media to your new product development efforts
In the conclusion of the 10-part series on Detrimental Connotations in New Product Development - Collaboration, opportunities for collaboration are explored. Opportunities for collaboration include the following interactions:Between individual contributorsAcross functional groupsAgents (something that acts within the system) whose contributions focus on different portions of the development effortIndividuals and informationThis post address improving NPD environments and especially those embracing Web 2.0, social computing, NPD 2.0, co-development, open innovation, or geographically dispersed (virtual) teams concepts. It explores the concepts of neural networks and complex adaptive systems in NPD environments.It concludes with "When your connotation of collaboration enables you to create an NPD culture that facilitates synergistic interactions among individuals and across functional groups as well enabling better insights from information throughout development, your potential for innovation will improve."

Part 7 of my Detrimental Connotations in New Product Development series has been posted on the PDMA blog. This segment explores the team's investment in plans, activities, checklists, and events associated with product launch in the hope of validating their new product development decisions.The post asks 'Will you know successful NPD if your see it?' What does the following illustration suggest about the success of this product launch?

Part 4 of my Detrimental Connotations in New Product Development series has been posted on the PDMA blog. This segment explores Design.Within a new product development (NPD) community, the role of design may evoke the realm of aesthetics or more lofty concepts such as the 'driver of innovation.' After presenting glimpses of team activities during the design of the on-screen interface portion of a television product, I explore detrimental connotations including:OpinionsReductionismBiasFalse dilemma

Part 3 of my Detrimental Connotations in New Product Development series has been posted on the PDMA blog. This segment explores Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).After reviewing several attributes of SMEs within the context of new product development (NPD), possible causes of project difficulties are explored. Part of the cause may be from detrimental connotations that team members associate with a subject matter expert.

The driver for taking risks in new product development is the expectation of asymmetric payoffs.
Contrasting Risks and Asymmetric Payoffs in New Product Development
To evaluate when most of the product requirements are determined in a specific new product development (NPD) context, evaluate the domain according to the Cynefin framework.
When to finalize product requirements
For a high profile demo, the features that should be the highest priorities are the items that provide the most value to the people that are in the audience. Instead of boardroom logic, use customers interviews and dialog to inform your insights.
How to decide which features to build for a high profile demo
When pursuing innovation, risk is not the objective. Fast failure is not the objective. Learning is the recommended. Faster learning is desirable. Innovation is a result. It requires the generation of abundant.
Innovation is not a Forecast
Agility is a quality that enables someone to accomplish the desirable. It is a relative assessment.
Agility is a quality and a relative assessment
Someone should evaluate the elegance of the design and the quality of the user experience before your next new application or product is released. In the past, the role was fulfilled by Steve Jobs at Apple. Does your development environment embrace this type of holistic approach?
How to make better release or defer decisions
At the end of a project, I want to do more than brag that I followed someone’s explicit list and met each milestone. The objective of a successful product launch can be pursued indirectly. The emphasis can be on the satisfaction of the individual contributors.
How do you successfully launch a product?
Silver bullets enable individuals to do better with less in new product development environments by leveraging nonlinearities in complex adaptive systems.
