R&D and Product Development
Inefficient processes, complex structures, and non-market-oriented portfolios erode profitability. EFESO helps transform product development into a driver of competitiveness, reducing lifecycle costs and accelerating successful launches.
Transforming Product Development into a Profit Driver
High development and lifecycle costs, frequent escalations, and delayed product launches often signal deeper issues in product development.
Complex structures, task force firefighting, and misaligned portfolios undermine profitability and distract from strategic priorities.
Without addressing these root causes, organizations face rising costs, slower innovation, and weaker market positions.
