Moen Inc. Turns to Strategic Outsourcing to Speed Innovative Products to Market

Overview

In order to create innovative products faster, Moen, one of the largest suppliers of plumbing products in the world, found a co-development partner that offered complementary core competencies and a willingness to make a reciprocal investment in a long-term relationship.  Contrary to conventional wisdom, Moen deliberately chose a company with a radically different culture.  The reason:  Moen judged that the skills and creativity that an organization needs to be truly innovative aren't necessarily nurtured in a large-company culture like Moen’s.  This report describes the anatomy of a very successful co-development alliance between very different companies.
