Services Firms don’t need to become product-led organizations. They do need to become product friendly.
The innovation we have seen over the last few years has been truly awe-inspiring. For example, software companies reconfiguring software to help hospitals track during COVID or AI expediting the clinical trials process for drug development. More recently innovation has turned to supply chain and talent gaps; for example, companies like Lucid Motors, an electric vehicle manufacturer, and Boeing creating boot camps to quickly train up a whole new talent pool.
Productizing services firms can use well-crafted vision statements to galvanize support for profound organizational transformation.
“Our product review board meetings are less about improving the performance of the product portfolio and more about getting people to buy into our productization strategy. They allow people to come with ideas, source ideas, and get involved in the process. They give us a chance to see who is willing to raise their hand, come on board, become true believers, and take that back to their own teams."
The most successful productizing companies have a product organizational structure that is driven by and aligned with a well-articulated vision and goals for the productization strategy. A product org structure that is misaligned with the goals of the productization strategy puts great product ideas at risk of lackluster performance, racking up costs, or never making it to launch in the first place.
