Focus for the Fuzzy Front End: New Book Challenges Business Leaders to Form Ideas Simple Enough to Fit on Single Piece of Paper

Naples Florida (PRWEB) July 01, 2014

In a day and age where the word “innovation” is greatly overused, Eric G. Parker’s “Focus for the Fuzzy Front End of Product Development” (ISBN 1481054198) argues that new-to-the-world products are the true definition of real innovation. Urging readers to develop exactly what valued customers will buy, the guide stresses the importance of keeping ideas simple enough to fit on one side of a standard sheet of paper.

Outlining the what Parker calls the “Idea Sheet Process,” “Focus for the Fuzzy Front End of Product Development” offers a light but practical set of instructions on how best to approach product development. Highlighting the importance of focus and customer perspective, the guide teaches readers that the key to success is not what you know; rather, it’s what you don’t know.

“Focus for the Fuzzy Front End of Product Development” utilizes the pragmatic perspective of Parker, an independent consultant and advisor. Targeting all business leaders, owners or managers who want to see their business grow to new heights, Parker’s straightforward approach has been honed through his work with over 100 businesses.

“Focus for the Fuzzy Front End of Product Development” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
