Sonal HariaGUEST
So what was really cool was the course was really practical.
Sonal HariaGUEST
I was in this course called New Product Development, and we actually worked with engineers to actually develop our first product.
Sonal HariaGUEST
So this was in between, yeah, and around 2010, we developed an app.
Sonal HariaGUEST
So we developed this really cool app that was like a jukebox for restaurants, bars and restaurants, where the consumer could actually contribute to the playlist or vote for the song they wanted to be next.
Matt DubberHOST
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to another Element Optics podcast episode.
Matt DubberHOST
Matt Dubber here on the mic, and we are once again joined by Petter from Product Development to talk about something that we are literally slap bang in the middle of.
Matt DubberHOST
So this is a unique discussion because this isn't like a finished product that we're trying to, like, just share all the features about.
Matt DubberHOST
We are, we basically have all the features and all the design aspects-
Callie EvergreenHOST
Welcome back to The Restaurant Innovator, a podcast from the editors of FSR Magazine, where we explore the bold ideas, creative minds, and strategic decisions reshaping full-service dining.
Callie EvergreenHOST
I'm your host and FSR editor, Callie Evergreen, and I'm so excited to welcome our special guest on today's episode, Chef Dimitri Ponomarchuk, who works for the Krusty's Company as the Director of R&D, Managing Innovation, and New Product Development.
Callie EvergreenHOST
Chef Dimitri, thank you so much for joining me.
Callie EvergreenHOST
How are you doing?
speaker_0HOST
So we've established that product development is a key pathway for growth.
speaker_0HOST
Let's dive deeper into that specific quadrant with Section 4.3, New Product Development.
speaker_1HOST
The guide makes a staggering point here about why NPD is a matter of sheer survival.
speaker_0HOST
I mentioned it at the top of the show.
speaker_0HOST
In industries like electronics, 50% of sales come from products introduced in just the last five years.
speaker_1HOST
Think about that.
speaker_1HOST
If your organization does not have a systematic pipeline for new product development, your revenue stream will simply evaporate.
speaker_0HOST
your competitors will just iterate right past you.
Zain AliHOST
Yep.
Kevin ChenGUEST
But for us, because of this big bet long cycle thing, you kinda have to have product development very closely integrated with marketing.
Kevin ChenGUEST
Whereas I think some categories maybe you don't need to have as, as close of an integration.
Zain AliHOST
Yeah.
Pippa HudsonHOST
Can you believe it? It is their 30th birthday year.
Pippa HudsonHOST
And with me in studio is Ryan Brand, who's the head of new product development at Kauai.
Pippa HudsonHOST
Uh, we're gonna talk a little bit about how they're marking World Smoothie Day and also just the development of this concept through their stores over the last 30 years.
Pippa HudsonHOST
And I would love to hear from those of you who make them at home for yourselves, what you put into them, what goes into the perfect smoothie, and crucially, what blender makes the best smoothie, because not all blenders are up to the task equally.

Pippa HudsonHOST
He was obsessed with them.
Pippa HudsonHOST
Um, uh, so, so a big thumbs up from him.
Pippa HudsonHOST
Uh, just for anybody just, just tuning in, Ryan Brand with me in studio, who is the head of new product development for Kawaii.
Pippa HudsonHOST
They are celebrating their 30th birthday this year, having opened their first store right here in Cape Town back in 1996.
DylanGUEST
That would've made a night and day difference in my situation.
PhalangesHOST
From the product development side, like making sure that your wants are communicated?
DylanGUEST
Yep, that's exactly it.
DylanGUEST
That and just like it avoids a lot of miscommunication where you can sit there with them and just like physically point out things, stuff like that.
PhalangesHOST
Yeah, we wanna talk about the X2F as kind of a-
DylanGUEST
Yep
PhalangesHOST
... study, case study on, uh, product development.
PhalangesHOST
'Cause your current title is what?
Richard BarrGUEST
Very positive.
Richard BarrGUEST
We then went through the, we call it, NPD new product development.
Richard BarrGUEST
So there was budget requests, meetings, manufacturing times, engineering design.
Richard BarrGUEST
And because we follow very strict, at the time, engineering directives, they have to follow various protocols, but standards that need to be adhered to in each stage of the gate system that we were working to.

Richard BarrGUEST
And as a personal accomplishment or achievement, Approximately a year earlier, I had actually completed a course on innovation and design thinking and how you can actually work through a process to come up with a new invention.
Richard BarrGUEST
And it's the trust that ProServe had put in me to fund me through that course to then allow me to go out in the workshop and use the skills that I learned over the one year postgraduate diploma.
Richard BarrGUEST
to then put that into this development stage which then put it through into the NPD stage and the research stage and to ultimately come up with this new product that we have and none of it would have been achievable without communication both to and from internally and externally within ProServe we've had to get buy-in and support from third-party companies We've had to find out what these companies require, find out what the challenges were, find out if our product would actually work.
Richard BarrGUEST
As a result of A plus B, we've then discovered that C is actually another advantage and then D's become another advantage.
Neil ThompsonHOST
I work with technical professionals so they can present more effectively, especially in front of non-technical audiences.
Neil ThompsonHOST
And you can learn more about that at teachthegeek.com. Again, that's teachthegeek.com. Today, my guest is Bindiya Danikula, and she's the Senior Director of Engineering and Product Development.
Neil ThompsonHOST
She's an engineering leader with extensive experience leading medical device and biotechnology products from concept through commercialization, while aligning engineering product and operations to deliver measurable business value.
Neil ThompsonHOST
And in our conversation today, we'll discuss how engineering leaders bridge communication gaps across the organization and why strong communication skills are essential for engineering and product development teams.
Neil ThompsonHOST
Welcome to Teach the Geek interviews, Bindiya.
Bindiya DanikulaGUEST
Thank you, Neil, and thank you for having me over today.

Bindiya DanikulaGUEST
It's important to have that eye contact with the audience while you're telling your story and ensure that they're actually getting it, right? Like that feedback loop is critical and then reacting to it, you know, depending on your audience will really make the difference between a good storyteller and a bad.
Neil ThompsonHOST
Indeed.
