P4 Framework
Fewer platforms, greater leverage.
Our P4 Framework offers a unique approach to optimizing product and platform portfolios, tuning the product organization and creating product roadmaps that deliver growth and meet profitability targets. By using P4, we are able to take a disciplined, granular look at every function and building block that must come together to deliver a product portfolio. In particular, the P4 lens allows us to quickly uncover all of the functions supporting development and delivery of products or services and how they work, or don’t work, together.

- Products – what products and services are being developed and delivered to customers
- Platforms – the underlying components or processes that are used to build and deliver the products and services (we like to call this building blocks)
- Points of Delivery - the key points of engagement or interface with customers; often the places in the delivery process where customers interact with the company, its products and services
- Projects – any initiative with a defined beginning and end, not to be confused with products or platforms; most often associated with technology or IT but equally important are other types of projects (marketing, sales, adoption, training, manufacturing etc)
