"I have never engaged in a product development project without the full cooperation of my organization's technical teams. Their contributions to the product design, the technology it incorporates, its functions and features, and how easily it can be manufactured determine the development project's success. I engage these teams early in the process to get both their input and buy-in. I keep them engaged and consult with them as we move through the design, development, manufacturing processes. I place a great deal of value on their input and suggestions and incorporate these whenever possible."
