In today’s competitive telecommunications world, if you are an equipment vendor, delivering solutions for your customers (ILEC’s, CLEC’s, ISP’s, MSO’s) you have infinite contention for your R&D resources. We all know that these resources are finite at best. This means you may be prioritizing product roll-outs. If so, you are prioritizing customers too. Translated, you’re putting some customers aside and giving up precious market share.

In parallel to this, no matter how accurate your portfolio planning and forecasting is thought to be, various factors influence your ability to deliver and therefore your competitiveness. You have customer churn, new opportunities present themselves, deadlines are accelerated, cost reductions are needed, standards evolve, etc.

These are a few of the real-world circumstances that face you, perhaps even on a daily basis. We call this the Reality Gap – or the variation between your portfolio plans and the world the way it is. How you deal with and manage this Reality Gap will determine how successful you will be in the decades ahead. Simply stated, your success is not defined by how accurately you predict this gap, but by how rapidly you respond to it.
