After rapid acquisitions and expansion, Kingspan Insulation lost control of its NPD processes, leading to high costs, poor resource utilization, and lost market share. The company established an Innovation Development System and deployed Planview Enterprise to enforce phase-gate processes, track risks, and provide senior management with accurate portfolio data. The system enabled early cancellation of high-risk projects, better cross-facility resource allocation, and faster delivery of competitive insulation products.

Key takeaways

Phase-gate NPD governance restored visibility into project risks, costs, and resource capacity across multiple regions

Planview Enterprise replaced manual spreadsheets with automated health, scope, schedule, and budget reporting

Early cancellation of underperforming projects freed resources for higher-ROI innovation initiatives

Global resource visibility reduced bottlenecks and identified redundant work across facilities

Full portfolio data enabled accurate ROI analysis and helped regain competitive product leadership
