Nestlé Dairy- Innovation

Only a few innovations are destined for success, so efficient and iterative design sprints are crucial. The dairy industry is highly competitive, and even global giants like Nestlé must continuously innovate to maintain their leading position in the Chinese market.

Over the past two years, we have partnered with Nestlé to revamp the current product line, launch new brand designs, and develop new packaging. Additionally, we designed packcepts for use in their market research, enhancing the probability of success for their final brands and packaging.

Balancing the Iron Triangle

The ultimate challenge often lies in choosing only two out of the iron triangle: quality, speed, and price. As a professional service provider, we are frequently asked to deliver all three. Accepting such demands without consideration can jeopardize company profitability, demoralize the team, and compromise my credibility as a project leader, making future work more difficult.
