Koukounis emphasises the often-overlooked value of incremental improvements and advocates for closer collaboration between engineers and IP departments to identify and protect these innovations through patents. The discussion uses the example of modified excavator teeth to illustrate how strategic IP design can secure market advantages. Ultimately, the piece argues for a shift in perspective where IP is viewed as a strategic business asset rather than just a cost, requiring better understanding at the executive level and encouragement of inventive thinking among engineers.

Drawing upon Robert G. Cooper's work, this episode presents the stage-gate system as a structured method to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of new product development. The stage-gate approach divides the innovation process into distinct stages separated by decision points called gates, involving multidisciplinary teams and senior management. Key benefits highlighted include enhanced quality, stronger market focus, better preliminary work, and more robust project evaluations. Ultimately, the piece argues that adopting a stage-gate system offers a competitive advantage by providing a clear roadmap and improving the success rate of new products.

#32 Dominant Design

19m 38s

Utterback and SuΓ‘rez's analysis highlights a recurring pattern across industries: an initial period of diverse experimentation, the emergence of a dominant design shaped by various factors, a peak in the number of firms, a subsequent shakeout, and eventual market stabilisation with a few key players. This episode emphasises that understanding this pattern is crucial for firms deciding on market entry timing and for policymakers aiming to foster innovation. It also touches upon factors beyond technology that influence dominant design and differences observed between US and Japanese industry evolution.
