Case Study: Kingspan Insulation regains innovation edge and accelerates product development with Planview Enterprise

Kingspan Insulation Advances Product Innovation Processes and Gains Back Its Competitive Edge

Kingspan Insulation, part of the global Kingspan Group, designs and manufactures premium building insulation across multiple regions. Rapid growth through acquisitions strained its new product development (NPD) governance: limited visibility into data and resource capacity created bottlenecks, under‑utilized teams, rising costs and slower product development, allowing competitors to gain ground.

To fix this, Kingspan formed an Innovation Development System and deployed Planview Enterprise to support a phase‑gate NPD process. The platform delivered real‑time visibility into risks, costs and resource capacity, enabling early cancellation of low‑value projects, faster reallocation of talent, clearer reporting and improved collaboration—reducing costs, accelerating development and helping Kingspan regain its innovation edge and market position.
