The document discusses Medtronic's product development process and challenges it faced in 1986. When Mike Stevens became VP of Product Development, he implemented several changes: he set clear expectations, measured key metrics like cycle time, cost, quality and market share, and removed management from day-to-day decisions to scale the process. Stevens introduced elements like platforms to share costs, stage-gate reviews, and separating development from technology to improve the process. However, Medtronic still faced challenges of disruptive technologies, over-served markets, and needing to find new markets and customers. Its process would need to adapt to remain competitive against fast followers pursuing prioritized features and lower costs.
